Irritant / corrosive response data:
Positive dermal scores were recorded for all animals at the 60 minute interval. By the day 7 observation 4 of the 6 animals were clear of any signs of irritation.

Based upon these findings the primary irritation index was 0.92

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Slight to moderate erythema was observed after 30-60 mins which was reversible in all animals by day 7. Under the coniditions of the study the test chemical is not classified as a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The primary dermal irritation potential of MRD-83-303 has evaluated in rabbits following topical occlusive exposure. The test material has applied as a single

dose of 0.5 ml to a single site on the clipped backs of 3 male and 3 female rabbits. The test material remained in contact with the intact skin of all

animals for a period of 4 hours. After exposure was completed the plastic sleeves and gauze were removed and the test site was graded for erythema, edema and other signs of dermal irritation at 30 to 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours following patch removal. Dermal readings were also performed on day 7. All Dermal scoring was performed according to the Draize method of scoring.

 

Positive dermal scores were recorded for all animals at the 60 minute interval. By the day 7 observation 4 of the 6 animals were clear of any signs of irritation.

 

Based upon these findings the primary irritation index was 0.92.
