shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml


Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours
Number of animals:
3 male rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 36 cm2
- % coverage: 12 - 16 cm2
- Type of wrap if used: Gauze
Three New Zealand white rabbits were treated dermally with 0.5ml of Belcor 575 trisodium salt. The test material was applied on a gauze patch to the shaved right flank of each animal. A control patch moistened with distilled water was applied to the contralateral flank. The patches were loosely covered with aluminium foil and held in place for 4 hours by adhesive tape.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The skin reactions were evaluated according to the OECD scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the gauze patches. Erythema was observed at 1 hour in two of the animals and at all the observation times in one animal. The observation period was extended to 7 days to determine reversibility of the reactions. All animals appeared normal within 7 days. The reactions observed 24 to 72 hours after removal of the dressings are below the threshold of significance according to the EEC directive 83/467.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate is not irritating to the skin
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study 3 male New Zealand white rabbits of 9 -13 weeks old were dermally exposed to 0.5mL of Trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate for 4 hours to a 12 -16 cm2 area. Animals then were observed for 3 days. 

 

In this study, trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate is not a dermal irritant.
