Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based upon the data obtained, the article TS2-16B Trimethyl borate, would not be considered a primary skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
3 male and 3 female young adult New Zealand white rabbits were subjected to skin irritation test to evaluate the test substance, Trimethyl borate. From this group of randomly selected animals, three rabbits were assigned to an intact group and three rabbits were assigned to an abraded group.
24 hours following test application, the bandages and collars were removed and the test sites were wiped clean with dry, disposable paper towels and observed for the next 72 hours for the following:
Primary Skin Irritation:
Each test site was observed for skin irritation at 24 and 72 hours after test article application.
Mortality:
The rabbits were observed twice daily (AM & PM) for mortality for a total of 3 days.
Pharmacotoxic signs:
The rabbits were observed for pharmacotoxic signs at 24 hours and once daily thereafter for a total of 3 days.
Body weights:
Body weights were obtained at study initiation (control) and study termination.
Based upon the data obtained (Primary Irritation Score = 0.5), the article TS2-16B Trimethyl borate, would not be considered a primary skin irritant.
