Any other information on results incl. tables

The mean individual scores (24/48/72 hours) of the animals were:

erythema: 0 in 2/3 animals, 1 in 1/3 animals

edema: 0 in 3/3 animals

The test substance is not irritating to the skin according to EU- and GHS-criteria as only marginal signs of irritation were observed in one animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
not irritating
Conclusions:
TMPeoTA does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin under the test conditions chosen
Executive summary:

The potential of "confidential substance name" to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 0.5 ml of the test substance to the intact skin of 3 White New Zealand rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing.

After removal of the patch the application area was washed off. The cutaneous reactions were assessed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch.

Slight or moderate erythema was observed in all animals during the course of the study. The cutaneous reactions were reversible in all animals within 72 hours after removal of the patch at latest. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.3 for erythema and 0.0 for edema.
