Irritant / corrosive response data:

One hour after the end of the dosing period, erythema varying in degree from slight to well defined was apparent in all 4 rabbits and very slight oedema was noted in 2 of the 4 animals.
24 hours after patch removal erythema and oedema were observed in all 4 rabbits.
At the 72 hour assessment, irritation has entirely subsided in 2 animals. Erythema was slight to moderate in the remaining 2 rabbits.
7 days after the dosing, erythema and oedema were no longer apparent in any of the animal although skin thickening was noted in one of them.

Other effects:

none

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test material induced a slight irritation being largely reversible within 7 days of dosing.
Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as scores were below 2.3 and to the GHS as only 2 animals out of 4 had scores between 1.5 and 2.3.

Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of undiluted test material was dermally applied on the shaved skin of the dorsal surface of the trunk of 4 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals were then observed for 7 days for oedema and erythema. 

Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the removal of the patch and on day 7.

The mean scores over all the animals tested within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were 2.0/0.7/0.3/2.7 for erythema and 1.3/0.7/0.3/1.3 for oedema.

Under the test conditions, the test material induced a slight irritation being largely reversible within 7 days of dosing.

Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as scores were below 2.3 and to the GHS as only 2 animals out of 4 had scores between 1.5 and 2.3.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.
