Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm2
- Type of wrap if used: Gauze patch (20 cm ) loosely covered with an aluminum foil (36 cm ) and held in place by an adhesive tape (Isoplast, Isoplast AG, CH-5200 Brugg).

SCORING SYSTEM
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
Total possible erythema score 4

Edema formation
No edema 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) 4
Total possible edema score 4

EVALUATION CRITERIA (according to EEC Directive No. 83/467/ July 29, 1983)
Corrosion criteria
A substance or a preparation is considered to be corrosive if, when it is applied to healthy intact animal skin, it produces full thickness destruction of skin tissue on at least one animal during the test for skin irritation.

Irritation criteria
A substance or a preparation is considered to be irritant if it causes inflammation of the skin or ocular lesions corresponding to the evaluation of the parameters given below:

Inflammation of the skin
which persists for at least 24 hours after an exposure period of up to four hours and corresponds to the following values determined on the rabbit according to the cutaneous irritation test method cited in Annex V:
- the mean value of the scores for either erythema and eschar formation or edema formation, calculated over all the animals tested, is two or more,
- or, in the case where the Annex V test has been completed using three animals, either erythema and eschar formation or edema formation equivalent to a mean value of two or more calculated for each animal separately has been observed in two or more animals.
In both cases all scores at each of the reading times (24, 48, and 72 hours) for an effect should be used in calculating the respective mean values.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

After dermal application of 0.5 g test article moistened with Tween 80 to male rabbits for 4 h according to OECD 404 (1981) no erythema or edema were observed. Therefore, the test article is considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin according to EU 67/548/EEC Directive and EC/1272/2008.

Other effects:

A slight loss of body weight was observed in animal No. 102 on day 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No indication of skin irritation was observed over the duration of the test. The test material is considered not to be a skin irritant.

Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 404) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 404-360-3) was determined to be not irritating to skin. 0.5g of the test material was moistened with Tween 80 on a semiocclusive patch before being applied to male rabbits for 4 hours. As no erythema or edema were observed at the 24, 48, or 72 hour observation periods, the test material is not classified as irritating to skin according to CLP regulation 1272/2008.
