Description of key information
Skin irritation
The key study was carried out following a method similar or equivalent to EU Method B.4 and OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion). A group of six albino rabbits was treated with the test item (occlusive with 4 h exposure). No skin irritation was noted in any of the six animals at any of the observations at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h. A primary irritation index of 0.0 was obtained following observations at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h. The test article was therefore regarded as a non-irritant. The test item did not produce a corrosive response as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations Title 49, Part 173, 1276. Results obtained were confirmed in several supporting studies.
Respiratory irritation
No indication of respiratory irritation from handling and use.
Eye irritation
The key study was carried out according to OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion). A group of 3 rabbits (New Zealand White) were administered 0.1 g of test item into one eye. The untreated eye served as control. Treated eyes were not washed following application. Animals were observed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7 days after treatment.
Under the conditions of this experiment, the test item was found to cause moderate irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. No discoloration of the cornea and conjunctivae which could be related to effects of the test article was observed. No corrosion was observed at each of the measuring intervals. The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar. No systemic effects were observed.
Similar results were obtained in several supporting studies.

- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g.
- The test article was moistened with water for administration. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Portions of the test article (0.5 g) were applied to one intact and one abraded site on each animal and covered with patches of gauze. Four hours after treatment the wrappings and collars were removed.
- Observation period:
- Immediately after removal of the wrappings the skin reactions on both the intact and abraded sites were scored. Following this initial reading the test sites were washed with warm water to prevent further exposure to the test article.

The pads were held in place by a strip of adhesive impermeable plaster. An Elizabethan collar was placed around the neck of each animal to prevent removal of the wrapping.
