Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study C16-18FA-TEPA-compound was not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD guideline 404 (24 April 2002) and EU method B.4 (29 April 2004) 3 young adult New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mg of C16-18FA-TEPA-compound (90% a.i.) for 4 hours. The substance was moistened with 0.5 mL purified water. Animals then were observed for 14 days.  Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

Very slight to well-defined erythema were observed from the 1- to the 48-hour reading in all animals and persisted as very slight erythema up to the 72-hour or 7-day examination in two animals, respectively. Slight edema was observed in all animals one hour after treatment and very slight edema persisted up to the 48- or 72-hour reading in two animals, respectively. Scaling was present at the application site of one animal from the 72-hour to the 10-day examination.

Mean erythema scores from observations at 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal were 1.67/1.33/0.67; mean edema scores were 0.67/1/0.

In this study C16-18FA-TEPA-compound was not irritating to the skin.
