IN-LIFE DATES: September 1985
Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
other: pasted with water
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 500 mg of the solid pasted with water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: shaved, uncompromized skin on the flanks of 6 cm²
- Type of wrap if used: semiocclusive

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): washing with water after treatment

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days)
1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment and on day 7 and 14 after treatment

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: Draize (according to OECD 404)
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
animal: mean of 3 animals
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
4
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
no skin irritating effects (erythema and edema) were observed 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after patch removal; the experiment was therefore stopped after 7 days
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study on 3 rabbits performed in 1985 according to OECD 404 the solid test substance pasted with water did not show any indication of irritating effects. The mean irritation score was derived with 0.0.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:

Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS

- Weight at study initiation: 2.8, 3.2, and 3.4 kg
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 14 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 +/- 2°C
- Humidity (%): 45-64%
- Air changes (per hr): 10/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours

IN-LIFE DATES: September 1985
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): volume of 100 µL (correlates to 75 mg)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
the treated eye was held closed for 1 second after application of the test item
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after treatment
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 animals
Details on study design:
tissues investigated: cornea (opacity and area of opacity), iris and conjunctivae (redness, edema, lacrimation)
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
animal: mean of 3 animals
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
4
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 hour after instillation in all three animals a slight redness (score 1.0) was observed that was due to the mechanical irritation of the solid test item in the eyes; no indication of irritation became obvious at the time points 24/48/72 hours and 7 days after treatment; the study was thus terminated after 7 days
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study on 3 rabbits performed in 1985 according to OECD 405 the solid test substance (volume 100 µL, according to 75 mg) was instilled in one eye of each rabbit. The other eye served as control. No eye irritation became obvious and the irritation score was thus 0.0 for the time points 24/48/72 hours after treatment.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

In a skin irritation study on 3 rabbits performed in 1985 according to OECD 404 the solid test substance pasted with water did not show any indication of irritating effects. The mean irritation score was derived with 0.0.

In an eye irritation study on 3 rabbits performed in 1985 according to OECD 405 the solid test substance (volume 100 µL, according to 75 mg) was instilled in one eye of each rabbit. The other eye served as control. No eye irritation became obvious and the irritation score was thus 0.0 for the time points 24/48/72 hours after treatment.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available Guideline studies for skin and eye irritation in rabbits no classification is warranted for skin and eye irritation.
