Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Aluminium ammonium sulfate is not classified as irritant to skin according to the criteria of the Annex VI to the CLP Regulation and to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In an acute skin irritation study, aluminium ammonium sulfate was applied by dermal way to 3 adult males New Zealand white rabbits.This study was performed in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices and according to OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation) and EC B.4.
Aluminium ammonium sulfate powder (0.5 g) was moistened with distilled water and applied on a clipped site of 6 cm² of the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit. The application site was covered with a gauze patch and hypo-allergic surgical tape. After a four-hour exposure period, the residual test substance was removed.
Skin reactions were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72h after the patch removal. The site of application was visually assessed and scored as per the Draize method.
Very slight erythema was observed on the treated site of all the rabbits at 1h after the patch removal. Treated skin sites of all the rabbits appeared normal at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Control skin sites of all the rabbits appeared normal throughout the experimental period.
No clinical signs related to treatment, other than dermal irritation, was observed in any of the rabbits during the experimental period.
The mean individual scores for erythema and edema were 0.0-0.0-0.0.
Under the test conditions, aluminium ammonium sulfate is not classified as skin irritant according to the criteria of the Annex VI to the Regulation N°1272/2008 and to the 67/548/EEC Directive.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for the irritation study endpoint.
