Executive summary:

Aim of the study

The aim of this study was to investigate possible irritation or corrosion by the test substance following a single application to the intact skin of rabbits.

Methods

Methods and investigations were performed in accordance with the OECD Guideline 404 and the Directive 2004/73/EC, method B.4.

Administration of the test substance

0.5 mL "CRUDE TALL OIL" was applied via a patch to a site of about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 New Zealand White rabbits and covered by semi-occlusive dressing. The duration of the exposure was 4 hours.

First the test substance was administered to one animal. As no serious skin reactions were noted in this animal, the remaining two animals were exposed to the test substance one week later.

Investigations

• Body weights: at the start and at the termination of the test.

• General signs of toxicity: once daily.

• Skin examinations: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal (p.a.).

Results

General signs of toxicity

No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Skin examinations

• Erythema/Eschar: Not affected.

• Oedema: Not affected.

Residual test substance was noted on the exposed skin areas, resp. on the growing hair, until 72 h p.a.

Conclusion

The following mean scores were calculated for each animal from the examinations 24 h,  48 h and 72 h p.a.:

Mean Scores.:

  • Erythema / Eschar: 0,0 for all 3 animals
  • Oedema: 0,0 for all 3 animals

According to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC "CRUDE TALL OIL" does not require classification for skin irritation
