Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a dermal irritation/corrosion study according to OECD TG 404 the test substance was applied under semiocclusive dressings for 4 hours to the shaved skin of 3 female rabbits. Skin irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as described in the OECD guideline. The mean irritation indices for erythema and edema were 0 of max. 4. No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD TG 404 (24 April 2002), three young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mg/ animal of Picolinamid phenylether moistened with Aqua p.i. for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method described in the OECD test guideline.


No local irritations were observed. In this study, the test item is not a dermal irritant.
