Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Not irritating.
- Executive summary:
In one primary dermal irritation study of validity 1 (Klein, 2003), young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3 males) were dermally exposed to 500 mg of ethylvanillin onto one flank. Test sites were covered with semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 72 hours.
Irritation was scored by the method of the Commission Directive 2004/73/EC. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 0.7, 0.3 and 0 for erythema and 0, 0 and 0 for edema.
In this study, ethylvanillin is very slightly irritant when applied topically to rabbits, but not classified according to the EU classification criteria (CLP 1272/2008/EC).
