SCORING SYSTEM:
- Evaluation was performed according to the Draize Scoring System.
- Calculation of the primary skin irritation index: the scores read after 24 and 72 hours for erythema and edema for the intact as well as for the abraded skin were summed up and divided by 4.
- Assessment of irritation:
0
0.0-1.0 : minimal
1.1-2.0 : slight
2.1-4.0 : moderate
4.1-6.0 : marked
6.1-8.0 : extreme

Primary irritation index = 21.0 / 4 = 5.3

The test substance caused a marked irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin.

Up to 4 days after application, the surface of the erythema was greater than the site of application.

Slightly ischaemic areas were observed after 48 hours in 4/12 and after 3 and 4 days in 10/12 application sites.

After 7 days, practically all animals had cracked skin.

Both erythema and edema were observed with an average score between 2 and 3 (24 to 72h). The skin condition did not improve on day 4 and only barely improved on day 7, which was the last observation time point. The results for abraded skin were not considered for classification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test article was found to cause a marked irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin.
