Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

With reference the reported scores and the absence of any signs of irritation during the whole study period the test itemdoes not need to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by semi-occlusive application of 0.5 mL to the intact flank of each of three New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 30 -60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean erythema/eschar score of the three animals was 0.00 and the mean oedema score was 0.00 for all animals.

The application of the test item to the skin resulted in no signs of irritation. The test item is considered to be “not irritating” to rabbit skin.

With reference the reported scores and the absence of any signs of irritation during the whole study period the test item does not need to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
