- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To assess the intracutaneous tolerability of the test substance 2 animals were treated on the left shoulder region. The intracutaneous treatment was applied to groups of 2 animals in concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0% in the vehicle corn oil, and evaluated 24 h post appication. Occlusive dermal application of the test substance was conducted in 4 animals for 24 h in concentrations of 2.5, 25, 50 and 100% of the test substance. Dermal reactions were evaluated 48 and 72 h after application. Results of the prelimimary test are presented in Table 1 under "Any other information on results incl. tables".
Based on the results of the range finding test, concentrations of 10% and 100% were selected for intradermal and epicutanous treatment, respectively.

Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/NaCl solution
Injection 2: test substance in corn oil
Injection 3: test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/NaCl solution
Epicutaneous: test substance
- Control group I+II:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/NaCl solution
Injection 2: corn oil
- Site: shoulder region (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: Days 0-7
- Concentrations: intradermal 10%, epicutaneous 100%
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance
- Control group I: test substance
- Control group II: vehicle control is employed only in the induction treatment; no challenge with vehicle
- Site: left flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 and 72 h
SCORING SYSTEM:
Skin reactions (erythema, eschar formation and edema) were evaluated according to the scheme presented in Table 1 under "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables".
OTHER:
The highest concentration of test substance administered dermally in the preliminary test caused no irritation of the skin. In order to cause slight to moderate inflammation of the skin for the dermal induction, one day before the dermal administration (Day 6) all the test and control animals were sheared on the shoulder and treated with sodium dodecyl sulphate (10%). - Challenge controls:
- The control group is actually a challenge control.
- Positive control substance(s):
- not specified
- Remarks:
- ; according to the author, the reliability of the test system was checked at regular intervals (no details provided in study report).

PRELIMINARY TEST
Dermal application
After 24, 48 and 72 h, no skin reaction was observed in the test animals in the concentration 2.5, 25 and 50% of the test substance. After 24 h very slight erythema and oedema were observed in 2/4 animals being fully reversible after 48 h.
MAIN TEST
- Bodyweight changes and systemic effects:
No toxic effects were observed in the treated animals during the observation period.
One animal died within 24 h after the dermal induction. Possibly, the animal was too strongly bandaged resulting in dyspnoea and death. Necropsy revealed a clear yellow liquid in the thorax and no further abnormal organ findings.
- Results of the intradermal induction:
One h after injection of FCA all test and control animals showed severe erythema and oedema. 11/20 test animals and 6/20 control animals showed injuries in the depth. 24 h later all animals showed severe erythema and oedema.
24 h after test substance injection all test animals showed slight erythema and oedema comparable to the control animals. Injection of test substance and FCA (1:1) induced moderate to strong erythema and moderate oedema. After 24 h strong erythema with deep injuries in 8/20 test animals and strong oedema were observed. Control animals injected with 50% FCA and corn oil showed 1 h after application well defined erythema and slight oedema. 24 h post application severe erythema with deep injuries (3/20) and strong oedema were observed.
- Results of the dermal induction:
Due to the use of SDS the shoulder region was reddened and swollen at Day 7. All test and control animals treated with FCA showed 49 h post application severe erythema with deep injuries and eschar formation and severe oedema. After 72 h the application sites of all animals were swollen and eschar formation was apparent. The animals treated with test substance in the vehicle showed scale formation at 49 and 72 h post application.
Animals treated with the test substance in FCA showed severe erythema with injuries in the depth and strong oedema at 49 and 72 h after application. The control animals showed comparable reaction at the application site.
- Results of the challenge application:
None of the test animals and none of the control animals showed a skin reaction 48 and 72 h post application.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
