Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
- Version / remarks:
- (2002)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Testing strategy comprised a stepwise approach including the evaluation of existing human and/or animal data showing effects on the skin or mucous membranes, the performance of a SAR evaluation for skin corrosion/irritation, measurement of pH value, the evaluation of data on systemic toxicity vial the dermal route and the performance of a validated in vitro test for skin corrosion (Human 3D Epidermal Skin Model) before in vivo testing for skin irritation/corrosion in rabbits.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
Test material
- Reference substance name:
- 2-benzofuran-1,3-dione, addition product with 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethanol, ethoxylated
- Molecular formula:
- Not applicable (UVCB substance)
- IUPAC Name:
- 2-benzofuran-1,3-dione, addition product with 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethanol, ethoxylated
- Test material form:
- liquid

Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: The surrounding untreated skin served as control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 mL
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- Until changes had completely subsided, however for not more than 14 days after application.
- Number of animals:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Due to a possible irritant potential of the test substance, in the first step only one animal was used and three test patches were applied successively to this animal, as described above. The first patch was removed after three minutes. As no serious skin reactions were observed, the second patch was applied and removed after one hour. At this stage the observations indicated that with respect to animal welfare the exposure can be allowed to extend to four hours, therefore the third patch was applied and removed after four hours and the responses were graded one hour later. The test was completed using two additional animals, exposed for four hours.
TEST SITE
On the day before the test, the fur was shorn on the right and left side from the dorso-lateral area of the trunk of each rabbits. 0.5 mL of the pure liquid test substance was applied to the skin of the animal under a gauze patch. The patch was placed on the dorso-lateral areas of the trunk of each animal and was held in place with non-irritant tape for the duration of the exposure period. Thus, access by the animal to the patch and resultant ingestion of the test substance was prevented.
- Area of exposure: approximately 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The exposed skin area was carefully washed with water without altering the existing response, or the integrity of the epidermis.
- Time after start of exposure: after 4 hours
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Executive summary:
A skin irritation/corrosion test according to OECD 404 was conducted with the test substance. No signs of irritation could be observed at all after 24, 48 and 72 hours postexposure-time (all scored zero). There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
