SCORING SYSTEM:
Evaluation of skin Reactions
Erythema and Eschar Formation
no erythema ...............................................................................................................................................0
very slight erythema (barely perceptible) .............................................................................................1
Well-defined erythema .............................................................................................................................2
Moderate to severe erythema .................................................................................................................3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) .............................4

Oedema Formation
No oedema..................................................................................................................................................0
Very Slight oedema (barely perceptible).................................................................................................1
Slight oedema ( edges of area well-defined by definite raising).........................................................2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm)...................................................................................3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond the area of exposure)................4

Interpretation of results
The scores for erythema and oedema for each intact and abraded skin site at the 24 and 72 hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (24 values) and this total was divided by 12 to give the primary irritation index of the test material.
The test material was classified based on the criteria layed out by Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) and 67/548/EEC Dangerous Substances Directive.

Results
Irritation parameter:
primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 72 hours
Score:
0.3
Max. score:
2
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 72 hours
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The individual scores for erythema /eschar and oedema, are given in Table 1. Mean Values Required for EEC labelling regulations are given in Table 2.
Yellow-coloured staining was commonly noted during the study. this did not affect evaluation of the skin responses.
Very slight erythema was noted at one intact treated skin site one hour after patch removal. very slight erythema was noted at two intact and two abbraded treated skin sites at the 24 hour observation and persisted at one abraded skin site at the 48 hour observation.
No signs of skin irritation were noted 72 hours after treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material, BRL 14151C, produced a primary irritation index of 0.3. No corrosive effects were noted during the study.
The test material did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EEC labelling regulations and was determined to be not irritating to rabbit skin. No symbol and risk phrase are therefore required.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit.

A single 4 hour, semi-occluded application of tet material to intact and abraded skin of three rabbits produced incidents of very slight erythema. No signs of skin irritation were noted 72 hours after treatment.

No Corrosive effects were noted during the study. The test material was determined to be not irritating to rabbit skin according to criteria layed out by Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) and 67/548/EEC Dangerous Substances Directive.
