- Three New Zealand White rabbits were supplied by David Percivai Ltd, Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, UK. At the start ofthe study the animais were in the weight range of 2.0 to 3.5 kg and were twelve to twenty weeks oid. After an acclimatisatjon period of at ieast five days each animai was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelibie marker-pen on the inner surface ofthe ear and on the cage label.
The animals were individuaily housed in suspended metal cages. Free access to mains drinking water and food (Certified Rabbit Diet (Code 5322) supplied by International Product Supplies Limited, Weiiingborough, Northants, UK) was aliowed throughout the study. The diet and drinking water were considered flot to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 17 to 23°C and 30 to 70% respectively. Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered flot to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. The rate of air exchange was at ieast fifteen changes per hour and the iighting was controlied by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.
The animais were provided with envirournental enriciiment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a levei that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Type of coverage:

- Details on study design:
- On the day before the test each of a group of three rabbits was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flai,Jc area using veterinary clippers. Only animais with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were seiected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitabie test site was seiected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 ml of the test materiai was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and piaced in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animais interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animais were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.
Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residuai test material removed by gentie swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirits.
Approximateiy one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored - Irritation parameter:

Introduction.
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:
• OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal IrritationlCorrosjon” (adopted 24 April 2002)
• Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation)
Results.
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application ofthe test material to the intact skin ofthree rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight oedema. Loss of skin elasticity was also noted at two treated skin sites. One treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7-day observation.
Conclusion.
The test material produced a primary irritation index of 1.2 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted. The test material did flot meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC.

- Three New Zealand White rabbits were supplied by David Percivai Ltd, Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, UK. At the start of the study the animais were in the weight range of 2.0 to 3.5 kg and were tweive to twenty weeks oid. After an acclimatisation period of at ieast five days each animal was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker-pen on the inner surface ofthe ear and on the cage label.

Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered flot to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. The rate of air exchange was at ieast fifieen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give tweive hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.
The animais were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Vehicle:

- Observation period (in vivo):

- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionaily seiected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Oniy animais free of ocuiar damage were used.
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately afier administration of the test material, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made according to the six point scale shown in Appendix 1.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animais were treated.
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation given in Appendix 2, (from Draize J H (1977) “Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests” In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity ofHousehold Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49).
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. - Irritation parameter:

Introduction.
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:
• OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 “Acute Eye IrritationlCorrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
• Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation)
Result.
A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of tbree rabbits produced minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.
Conclusion.
The test material produced a maximum group mean score of 8.7 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system. The test material did flot meet the criteria for classification as irritant according to EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/5 9/EC.
