SCORING SYSTEM:
According to Draize, J.H. (1959) Association of the Food and Drug Officials in the U.S., Austin, Texas. The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics.
Erythema and eschar formation value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Oedema formation value
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4
Corrosion was considered to have occurred if the test article in contact with the skin caused destruction or irreversible alteration of the tissue. Tissue destruction was considered to have occurred if, at any of the readings, there was ulceration or necrosis. Tissue destruction did not include merely sloughing of the epidermis, or erythema, edema or fissuring.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- At the 1 hour observation black discolouration was noted at all the test sites. On day 1 the test sites were covered by black, semi-hard or hard, indented skin. This condition persisted until day 14 in 2 animals and until day 7 in the third. Atonia occurred in all animals from day 1 until day 14.
Moderate to severe erythema was noted in all animals at the 1 hour observation. This irritation regressed and on day 14 no erythema was noted. Slight to moderate oedema was also noted in all animals at the 1 hour observation. On day 1 oedema was noted in areas surrounding the test sites in all animals. This irritation regressed and was not noted on day 14.
A primary irritation index of 4.7 was obtained. The test item was regarded as a moderate irritant to the skin of the rabbit. Corrosive effects were noted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (corrosive)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In this primary dermal irritation study, young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3/male) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of test item for 4 hours introduced to 6 cm2 (occluded gauze patch). Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (1959).
At the 1 hour observation black discoloration was noted at all the test sites. On day 1 the test sites were covered by black, semi-hard or hard, indented skin. This condition persisted until day 14 in 2 animals and until day 7 in the third. Atonia occurred in all animals from day 1 until day 14.
Moderate to severe erythema and slight to moderate oedema was noted in all animals, all reversible within 14 days. A primary irritation index of 4.7 was obtained. The test item was regarded as a moderate irritant to the skin of the rabbit. Corrosive effects were noted. - Executive summary:
A study was carried out according to OECD Guideline 404 (Acute dermal irritation / corrosion) similar or equivalent to EU Method B.4. In this primary dermal irritation study, young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3/male) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of test item for 4 hours introduced to 6 cm2 (occluded gauze patch). Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (1959).
