Controls:
other: comparison with adjacent untreated skin
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
On the basis of these results, the test material (solid content 50%) is not classified as a skin irritant according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

The test material (aqueous solution at approx. 50% solids) was tested for acute dermal irritation in 3 female New Zealand White rabbits, according to OECD 404/EC method B.4, and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice. The test material, was applied as such on a gauze, in a single dermal dose of 0.5 g, to a 2.5 x 2.5 cm clipped area of the skin, during 4 hours under a semi-occlusive dressing. The cutaneous examinations were performed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The application of the preparation produced very slight erythema (score 1) in all animals at 24 hours but only in two animals at 48 hours after patch removal. The reversibility was complete at 72 hours in all animals. Very slight edema was observed in all animals but only at 24 hours. No other reactions were observed after.

The mean individual scores calculated over the 24-72 hour period for each animal were (0.7-0.7-0.3) for erythema, and (0.3-0.3-0.3) for edema.

On the basis of these results, the test material (solid content 50%) is not classified as a skin irritant according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
