Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Test item was used as supplied (undiluted)
- pH of the undiluted test item: 6.0
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 h

Observation period:

Immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 h later, the sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.

Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: On the day of the test a suitable site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 mL of the test item was applied directly to the skin under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch.
- Type of wrap if used: Treatment site was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from animals and any residual test item removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize method

Executive summary:

Test Guidance

OECD guideline 404 and EC Method B.4 (Acute Toxicity: Dermal Irritation / Corrosion).

Method and materials

Three New Zealand White male rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the test material for 4 h under a semi-occlusive dressing. After removal of the residual test item, irritation was scored immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 h later, according to Draize method.

Results

Very slight erythema was noted at two treated skin sites 1 and 24 h after patch removal. No evidence of skin irritation was noted at one treated skin site during the study. All animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0.0, 0.3, 0.3 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for oedema score, respectively. The mean erythema and oedema scores at 24, 48 and 72 h were 0.22 and 0.0 respectively. The substance is not a skin irritant in male rabbits.

Conclusion

Under the test conditions the substance is not classified as irritating to skin according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
