No oedema was observed at the test sites at any of the three rabbits at any of the examinations 1 hour, 24, 48 or 72 hours after termination of exposure.
- Other effects:
- No other effects.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material alpha-amylase is not irritating to (human) skin.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal irritant effect of alpha-amylase was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline No 404, “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion”. The study was conducted in accordance with GLP.
The study was performed on three male New Zealand White rabbits. They were each exposed to 0.5 mL of the undiluted liquid test item applied under semiocclusive conditions to each of three closely-clipped test sites, 2.5 x 2.5 cm, on the flank. After a 4 -hour exposure period, the test item was removed from the test site and the skin was examined. Only very slight erythema was noted at 1 h and 24 h after removal of the test material, whereas eschar formation or oedema was not observed at any of the test sites at any of the examinations. All reactions were fully reversible and no erythema was observed at the test or control sites of any of the animals at the examinations at 48 or 72 hours after termination of exposure.
The Test Item Mean Score for erythema after 4hrs of exposure to the test item was: 0.3
The Test Item Mean Score for oedema after 4hrs of exposure to the test item was: 0.0
In conclusion, alpha-amylase was not irritating to skin and shall be classified as non-irritant.
