CALCULATION OF THE MEAN ACCORDING TO 83/467/EEC CRITERIA OF JULY 29TH, 1983

(FOR CALCULATION OF THE MEANS OF ERYTHEMA AND EDEMA ONLY READINGS OF 24,48 AND 72 HOURS ARE USED)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Very slight erythema (the Draize score = 1) and no edema were observed in two rabbits at 4 and 24 hours. For calculation of a mean of erythema and edema score only readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were used. The primary irritation index was calculated to be 0.2, therefore the test article is non-irritant to the rabbit skin. The mean scores per animal were 0.3, 0.0 and 0.3, therefore, the classification according to GHS criteria is also not a skin irritant (no classification).
Executive summary:

The study performed in compliance with OECD 404 (version adopted in 1981) but not under GLP.

The dose (0.5 mL of the undiluted test article), application of the test substance (semi-occlusive) and the exposure period (4 h) were adequate. 3 rabbits were used (1 male, 2 females); intact skin.

Very slight erythema (the Draize score = 1) and no edema were observed in two rabbits at 4 and 24 hours. For calculation of a mean of erythema and edema score only readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were used. The primary irritation index was calculated to be 0.2, therefore the test article is non-irritant to the rabbit skin. The mean scores per animal were 0.3, 0.0 and 0.3, therefore, the classification according to GHS criteria is also not a skin irritant (no classification).
