- Route of application: The test substance was applied in a single dose to the intact untreated skin. The test patch was secured in position with a semi-occlusive* dressing. The test substance was removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol®** and Lutrol®/water (1:1).
* The test substance has been covered with a test patch (Idealbinde, Pfaelzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik, Kaiserslautern) and Fixomull(R) stretch (adhesive fleece), Beiersdorf AG.
** Lutrol(R) E 400 = Polyethylenglycol DAB, BASF Aktiengesellschaft.
Clipping of the fur: At least 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed by clipping the dorsal part of the trunk of the animal(s). Only animals with healthy intact skin were used.
Application site: Upper third of the back or flanks.
Negative control: Untreated skin sites of the same animal.
Application volume: The test patch (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) was moistened with a dose of 0.5 mL at about 50 °C heated test substance(before application it was cooled down to body temperature).
Exposure period: 4 h
Observation period: 14 d
Date of application: 21 June 1999
Body weight determination: Shortly before application of the test substance.
Readings: 1h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h,7 d and 14 d after removal of the patch.
Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.

Analysis of the test substance
The degree of purity of the test substance was found to be 98.8 area-% by GC analysis.
The stability of the test substance was not determined by re-analysis, because the study and the characterisation were performed in the same time period.
After heating at about 50°C, the test substance was homogeneous by visual inspection.
Analysis of feed
In view of the aim and duration of the study, the contaminants occurring in commercial feed should not influence the results.
Analysis of drinking water
In view of the aim and duration of the study there are no special requirements exceeding the specification of drinking water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings, the test substance gives indication of an irritant property to the skin.
- Executive summary:
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and EU method B.4 using a single topical application of 0 .5 mL of the test substance to the intact skin of three Himalayan rabbits for four hours under semi-occlusive dressing.
The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 2.9 for erythema and 1.3 for edema. The skin findings were not reversible in all animals within 14 days (study termination).
The mean value for erythema was ≥2.3 in all three rabbits and therefore the substance is classified as a skin irritant (Category 2).
