Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
3 female albinos rabbits, numerated A3213 to A3215 of new-zealand strain, originating from the Elevage de Gérome (Quartier Labaste – 40260 Linxe) were kept during a 7-day acclimatisation period. During the test, the animals weighted between 2.11kg and 2.41kg.
The animals were kept in individual boxes installed in conventional air conditioned animal husbanding; the environmental conditions were:
- temperature : between 19°C and 22°C
- relative humidity : between 39% and 54%

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g/animal
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
- 3 rabbits, each animal was its own contol
- topic application for 4 hours under occlusive patch on the right flank for the test produt and on the left flank for the vehicle (distilled water)
- skin reactions (erythema and oedema) were scored 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The results obtained, in these experimental conditions, enabled to conclude that the test product, according to the scales of interpretation retained :
- is non irritant to skin (PSi =0) according to the classification established in the Journal Officiel de la République Française dated February 21st, 1982,
- and, must not be classified, according to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances in compliance with the E.E.C. Directives 67/548 and 93/21.
Executive summary:

The test product was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 0.5g, under semi-occlusive dressing during 4 hours on an undamaged skin area of 3 rabbits, according to an experimental protocol established from the O.E.C.D. guideline (n° 404 dated July.17th,1992) and the method B.4 of the E.E.C. directive n° 92/69 dated December 29th,1992. No cutaneous reactions (erythema and oedema) were observed in any animal whatever the examination time. The results obtained, in these experimental conditions, enabled to conclude that the test product, according to the scales of interpretation retained :

- is non irritant to skin (PSi = 0) according to the classification established in the Journal Officiel de la République Française dated February 21st, 1982,

- and, must not be classified, according to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances in compliance with the E.E.C. Directives 67/548 and 93/21.
