Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
bi-distilled water
Controls:
other:
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g of the test article was applied to approx. 6 cm² of the intact skin of the clipped area
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
1, 24, 48, 72 hrs after administration
Number of animals:
1 males, 2 females
Details on study design:
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal fur was clipped with an electric clipper, exposing an area of approximately 100 square centimeters (10 cm x 10 cm).
The skin of the animals was examined once, 1 day prior to test article administration.
Only those animals with no signs of skin injury or irritation were used in the test.
On the day of treatment, 0.5 g of the test article was applied to approx. 6 cm² of the intact skin of the clipped area. It was covered with a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm patch of surgical gauze. The gauze was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with an elastic bandage. The test article was applied in such a position as to preclude oral ingestion after removal of the dressing.
The duration of treatment was 4 hours.Then the dressing was removed and the skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site so that any reactions (erythema) were clearly visible at that time.
The skin reaction was assessed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test article.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The dermal irritation scores were evaluated in conjunction with the nature and reversibility or otherwise of the responses observed. The individual scores do not represent an absolute standard for and they are viewed as reference values, a severe test and the results are not conditions.
irritation
PRIMID QM 1260 showed a primary irritation score of 0.11 when applied to healthy intact rabbit skin.
Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0,11 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. Erythema was noted in one animal only and was reversible after 48 hours.

CORROSION
No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.
Other effects:
Necropsy
No necropsy was performed in the animals euthanized at termination of observation.
VIABILITY / MORTALITY AND CLINICAL SIGNS
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred.
COLORATION
No staining by the test article of the treated skin was observed.
BODY WEIGHTS
The body weight gain of all rabbits was within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No test-related response was observed in the study and thus, the test substance is a non-irritant for skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

The primary irritation score was calculated by totaling the individual cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and then dividing by the number of figures. Under the conditions of this experiment, the test material was found to cause a primary irritation score of 0.11 (max. 8.0) when applied to healthy intact rabbit skin.


Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.11 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. The single erythema grade was reversible after 48 hours.


The test article did not cause staining of the treated skin.


No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval.


Based on the available data, the test substance is not to be classified according to CLP (Regulation EC No.1272/2008) for effects to skin.
