Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

other: dampened with water to ensure better contact between the substance and the skin

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the exposure period.

Number of animals:

3 male rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Preparation: 24 hours before administration, animals were shaved using an electric razor, leaving the back and sides exposed from scapula to the pelvis.
- Area of exposure: approximately 6 cm2
- Application: the substance was placed on 2.5 x 2.5 cm squares of surgical gauze and applied to the corresponding tests area. The patches were held close to the body using strips of adhesive tape.
- Type of wrap if used:a strip of gauze was wrapped around the trunk of the animal in order to hold the patches in place. The gauze was fixed to the body using additional adhesive tape.

Following administration, animals were observed for a few moments before being returned to their cages.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): after the bandage and patches were removed, any remains of the test substance were removed with water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the exposure period

SCORING SYSTEM: outlined in the OECD guideline n° 404

Irritant / corrosive response data:

- The readings carried out 1 hour after treatment showed very slight erythema (grade 1) in two animals.
- The readings carried out 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment showed that none of the animals presented any lesions.
- Individual mean scores for erythema and edema, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment were all 0.00 for the three animals.

Other effects:

None. The behaviour and physical condition of the rabbits were normal throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is not classified as irritating to the skin according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) criteria.

Executive summary:

This GLP-compliant study was performed to assess the potential of the test material to induce skin irritation in vivo, according to OECD Guideline 404 (dated July 17th, 1992) and EU method B.4 of the E.E.C. directive n° 92/69 (dated December 29th, 1992).

Material and methods

0.5 g of the solid test material were applied under semi-occlusive dressing during 4 hours, on a shaved skin area of 3 male rabbits. Skin reactions were recorded 1 hour and then 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the exposure period.

Results

1 hour after the patch removal, very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed in two animals. No dermal lesions were observed in any animal at all the other observation time points. The individual mean scores (24, 48 and 72 hours) of all three animals for erythema and edema were both: 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0.

Conclusion

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is not classified as irritating to the skin according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) criteria.
