Skin irritation / corrosion
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation / corrosion, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2012
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The study has been performed according to GLP and state of the art and actual methods and is therefore considered reliable, relevant and adequate.
- Justification for type of information:
- The DBEA dossier contains old in vivo studies , which are not allowed today. Therefore a justification needs to be added in the end point data summary.
The new legal requirements (21 June 2016) require an in vitro skin irritation study. However the previous data requirements were met with an in vivo study during dossier compilation for the >1000 T/y tonnage band. Therefore there is no need to repeat the study using the alternative test method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- From the above results, it was concluded that the test substance bis(2-butoxyethyl)adipate, Proviplast 0142, was slightly irritant to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits under the eperimental conditions tested.
- Executive summary:
Acute dermal irritation/corrosion potential of Proviplast 0142, bis(2 -butoxyethyl)adipate, was tested in female New Zealand White rabbits. A volume of 0.5 ml of test substance was evenly applied as such to the 6cm2 clipped skin area on the left side of the rabbits under a gauze patch. The right untreated side was kept as control area. At the end of 4th, the gauze patch was removed and application site was wiped with water without altering the integrity of the epidemis to remove the residual test substance, first in one animal and later repeated to confirm in 2 additional animals. The test site was covered with semi occlusive gauze patch. Animals were observed for erythema and oedema at 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72h following the removal of gauze patch. Initial and confirmatory test animals exhibited very slight erythema at 60 minutes and completely cleared at 24h observation period. The acute demal irritation (Primary Irritation) Index was calculated as 0.25 (including the 1h observation) and 0 (excluding the 1h observation). No dermal reaction was seen in untreated area of initial and confirmatory test animals.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance Proviplast 0142 (bis(2 -butoxyethyl)adipate) was slightly irritating to the skin of New Zealand white rabbits under the experimental conditions tested, however below threshold of classification.
