Any other information on results incl. tables
All test substance concentrations did not cause biologically relevant increases (SI > 1.25) in ear weights demonstrating the absence of relevant ear skin irritation, although a statistically significant increase in ear weights was noted at the 25% (but not at the 50%) concentration.
No signs of systemic toxicity were noted.
Very slight erythema and slight ear swelling was observed in the 50% dose group on day 2.
As one animal of the vehicle control group was identified as outlier, only the data of the remaining 4 animals were used for calculation of the mean values for the concurrent control group and for determination of the stimulation indices (SI) of the test item. Nevertheless, the calculation of the stimulation indices using the historical data for the vehicle MEK confirmed the results using the concurrent control group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
