Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Three adult female rabbits (approximately 3 months old) of the New
Zealand White strain, SPF-quality, were obtained from The Broekman
Institute, Someren, The Netherlands.
Date of arrival at the animal house: December 9, 1985.
The animals, marked with ear label nos. 249, 250 and 255, were
individually housed in metal cages with perforated floors. A combined
quarantine/acclimatisation period of 7 days was observed. The body
weights of the animals were measured one day before
dose administration. They were fed standard laboratory animal diet (100
g per day), obtained from Hope Farms, Woerden (LK-OI, pellet diameter 4
mm), and had free access to tap-water. The animal room temperature was
19 - 20°C and the relative humidity 35-80 per cent. The artificial
light sequence was 12 hours light, 12 hours dark. One day before dose
administration, the fur was removed from the central back of the
animals by clipping, exposing an area of the skin of approximately 10
cm x 10 cm. In addition, due to rapid hair growth animal no. 255 was
clipped a second time on day 10.
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hrs
- Observation period:
- 72 hours initial ... extended to 10 days
- Number of animals:
- three
- Details on study design:
- For each animal the test substance was dosed as such.
Administration of the test substance
Of the test substance 0.5 ml was applied to a 6 cm2 gauze patch, which
was attached with a drop of petrolatum to aluminium foil and mounted on
permeable tape (Micropore ,3M, St. Paul. USA). This was applied to the
right flank of each animal, the left flank being covered with the same
dressing without test substance. Finally, the animals were wrapped in
flexible bandage (Caban, 3M, St. Paul, USA). Exposure duration was 4
hours after which period the remaining test substance was removed,
using a tissue moistened with tap-water.
Observations
The exposed skin areas were examined for signs of erythema and oedema
and the responses were scored at 60 minutes, and approximately 24, 48
and 72 hours after removal of the dreSSing. For reference the control
site on the contralateral flank was used.
Grading of the skin irritation
The following scoring system was used for grading the skin irritation:
Erythema and eschar formation
No erythema ............•....•..........................•.... 0
Very sl ight erythema (barely perceptible). .......•.......... 1
Well-defined erythema .•....•.•••..•..•.......•..•.•........• 2
Moderate to severe erythema .•.....•.•.........•......•...••• 3

(injuries in depth) ..•••..•.• , ...•••.•...•..•.••..•..•••...• 4

Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) ..•..•..• 3
Severe oedema (ra ised more than 1 mill imetre and
extending beyond area of exposure) •.•......•••..•..••.•..... 4
The test results were evaluated according to the EEC criteria for
classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex VI of the EEC
Council Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC: Labelling
Guide).
Results and discussion
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- overall irritation score
- Basis:
- other: all 3 animals
- Time point:
- other: 72 hrs
- Score:
- < 1
- Max. score:
- 1
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible within: 10 days
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- For all three
animals, very slight oedema was observed one hour after bandage removal.
This was reversible since 24 hours after exposure no more oedema was
observed. Very slight or well-defined erythema was seen in all three animals
one hour after exposure but gradually disappeared in two animals 48 hours
after exposure. For these two animals, designated 249 and 250, no erythema
and very sl ight erythema, respectively, was observed 24 hours after
exposure. In addition, eschar formation was observed 72 hours after
exposure, indicating rapid recovery. The third animal, designated 255,
revealed well-defined erythema 24 hours after exposure and very slight
erythema 48 and 72 hours after exposure. Since this was persistent, the
study was prolonged and on day 10 all animals were examined. No
abnormalities were observed indicating rapid recovery and total
reversibility. Concluding from these experimental results and applying the
EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex
VI of Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC: Labelling
GUide), the test substance need not be labelled as a skin irritant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- Per EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex VI of Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC: Labelling GUide), the test substance need not be labelled as a skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
A sample of tert. amyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexyl carbonate was tested in the rabbit primary skin irritation/corrosion test to determine its possible irritating or corrosive effects. The flank skin of 3 female rabbits of the New Zealand White strain was exposed to the test substance for 4 hours using semi-occlusive dressing. For all three animal s, very sl ight oedema was observed one hour after bandage removal; this was reversible since 24 hours after exposure no more oedema was observed. Very slight or well-defined erythema was seen in all three animals one hour after exposure but gradually disappeared in two animals 48 hours after exposure. The third animal revealed very slight erythema 48 and 72 hours after exposure, however, showed total recovery 10 days after exposure. The primary skin irritation Index amounted to 0.7. According to the criteria laid down in Annex VI of the EEC Council Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC (Labelling Guide), the test substance need not be labelled as a skin irritant.
