Irritant / corrosive response data:

4 -hour exposure: Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were noted at all treated skin sites one and 24 hours after patch removal. Very slight erythema persisted at one treated skin site at the 48-hour observation. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and one treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.
1 -hour exposure: No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.
3 -minute exposure period: No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material produced a primary irritation index of 1.0 and was classified as a MILD IRRITANT to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC.
Executive summary:

Introduction. The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

  • OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
  • Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation)
  • United States Environmental Protection Agency Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.2500 Acute Dermal Irritation August 1998 Results. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight oedema. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and one treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation. No corrosive effects were noted. 3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test material to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no evidence of skin irritation. Conclusion. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 1.0 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC.
