Aluminum chloride hydroxide sulfate

Skin irritation / corrosion

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin irritation: in vivo

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

December 1995

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Remarks:

Information on substance identity and composition is lacking. Batch No. is given, guideline 404 is followed and study is performed according to GLP. Statement from company owner is received on substance identity and composition mentioned in study report. Based on this the reliability turned into 2. If substance identity and composition was reported in study report then reliability would turn into 1.

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: A single dose of 0.5 ml of the test material was applied to a 6 cm2 gauze pad, which was then applied to the right flank (4 hours in all animals) or the left flank (3 minutes in 1 animal) of the animals. The untreated skin served as control.
- % coverage: no info
- Type of wrap if used: The test material and the gauze pad were held in contact with the skin by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and restraining bandage.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): No residual test substance was noted at removal of the dressing.
- Time after start of exposure: not applicable

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

 In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of Aqualenc F was applied on the clipped skin of 3 males New Zealand White rabbits.

An initial test was performed in one animal with exposure periods of 3 minutes and 4 hours. No cutaneous reactions were observed after an application of 3 minutes. A confirmatory is performed in two other animals.

The single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of all three animals produced immediately after patch removal very slight erythema at the test site of one animal. This effect was gone at 24 hours after patch removal. Necrosis and ulceration were not reported.

The individual scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema.

Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified according to the Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
