- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Very slight or well defined erythema and very slight to moderate oedema were observed at the test sites of two animals during the first 72 hrs after bandage removal. One of these animals also showed a dry abrasion over the majority of the test site during this time. One week after treatment, very slight erythema and exfoliation were evident in both animals. The exfoliation persisted until day 13 in one animal and to termination of the study in the other. No dermal response was observed at the tests site of the third animal at any time during the observation period.
The mean values for erythema and oedema recorded 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment did not exceed the limit values considered to indicate a significant inflammatory response.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- According to EC-standards (as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, 4 May 1993), the test material is not irritating to skin. Concentration of solution applied was 4.5% expressed as active enzyme protein.
- Executive summary:
An in vivo skin irritation test was conducted to assess the potential of the test substance, Subtilisin, batch PPA 4852, to cause skin irritation. The OECD test guideline 404 was followed. 0.5 mL of the test material formulation was applied under semiocclusive conditions to the closely-clipped dorsa of three New Zealand White rabbits for 4 hrs. The study was conducted in accordance with GLP. The study concluded that the test substance, Subtilisin, was non-irritant to the skin.
However due to the very slight exfoliation still seen in one animal at the termination of the study, Subtilisin should be regarded as slightly irritant to skin.
