Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
19 August 1986 to 22 August 1986
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Study was performed prior to OECD guidelines and was not GLP compliant. Test method was similar to OECD 404 with the exceptions that the test material was applied for a 24-hour exposure and sites were only scored at 24 and 72 hours. Sufficient information was available for hazard classification per Annex VI of the CLP criteria.

Results
Irritation parameter:
primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 24, 72 hours
Score:
ca. 4.7
Reversibility:
no data
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Severe dermal reactions, with necrosis and slight to moderate edema, were observed at both sites of one animal through 72 hours after exposure. Well-defined erythema (scores: 2) with slight to moderate edema (scores: 2-3) was observed in the five remaining animals at 24 hours after exposure. Well defined to moderate erythema (scores: 2-3) with very slight to moderate edema (scores: 1-3) was observed in these 5 animals at the 72 hour observation time. Blanching was observed in all animals at 24 hours post-exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test article is a dermal irritant and is not classified according to CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test article (slightly yellow liquid, purity 99% CASRN 4303-67-7, batch 0001) was evaluated in New Zealand White rabbits. The procedure was based on the method prescribed by the CPSC of the US in 16 CFR 1500.41. The hair was clipped from the dorsal skin of six female rabbits. Immediately prior to test article application, a 2.5 cm square area of the right side of the spine was abraded with the tip of a scalpel blade. A similar site on the left side of each animal remained intact. A 0.5 mL aliquot of the test article was applied under a 2.5 cm square gauze pad to one abraded and one intact site per animal. The sites were occluded with elastic dressing for 24 hours and at the end of exposure the sites were wiped to remove any residual test article. Observations for skin irritation (erythema and edema) were recorded at 24 and 72 hours after exposure. For intact skin, the means of the 24- and 72 -hour scores for erythema for the six animals were 2, 2, 2, 2, 4 (with necrosis), and 2. For intact skin, the means of the 24- and 72 -hour scores for edema for the six animals were 2.5, 2, 2, 2.5, 2, and 2.5. Blanching was observed in all animals at 24 hours post-exposure. Hyperkeratinization was observed in all animals at 72 hours after exposure. The Primary Irritation Index (PII) including intact and abraded scores was 4.7. Based on the results of this study, the test article is a mild dermal irritant and is not classified for skin irritation according to CLP criteria.
