Irritant / corrosive response data:
ERYTHEMA
- Slight erythema was noted in all animals 45min after patch removal
- Erythema scores increased for 4 animals at 24h when 4 animals displayed well defined erythema and 2 animals displayed very slight erythema.
- Erythema scores increased at 72h; 1 animal exhibited very slight erythema, 4 animals exhibited well-defined erythema, 1 animal exhibited moderate/severe erythema.

EDEMA
- At 45min, very slight edema was noted for 3 animals and slight edema was noted for 2 animals.
- Edema scores increased after 45min and at 24, 48, and 72h 4 animals showed slight edema and 1 animal showed very slight edema.
- Edema decreased after 72h and on Day 7, three animals were clear of edema and 3 animals showed very slight edema.

OTHER
- Desquamation was noted for 2 animals at 24, 48, and 72h and on Day 7
- Atonia was noted for 1 animal at 48h, for 4 animals at 72h, and for 3 animals on Day 7
Other effects:
- Soft stool and mucoidal stool were noted for 2 animals during the study

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Does not require classification. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The skin irritation potential for isoundecanol is minimal.
Executive summary:

Isoundecanol was administered via an occluded dermal patch to 6 rabbits at a dose of 0.5 ml neat solution for 4 hours to assess the skin irritation potential.   Dermal evaluations occurred at 45 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h, and 7 days post patch removal. Application sites were graded for erythema, edema, and other signs of dermal irritation according to the Draize method of scoring.  Signs of erythema were noticed in all animals at 45 minutes post patch removal; ranging from very slight to slight. At the 72h observation point, erythema had increased in severity in all animals; ranging from very slight to moderate/severe with signs of edema. Irritation decreased after 72h and by Day 7, 3 animals were clear of erythema and edema while the remaining 3 animals exhibited very slight erythema and very slight edema.  The mean skin irritation scores between 24 and 72 hours were: erythema 1.83 and edema 1.5.
