Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the condition of the study the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/EC.
Executive summary:

A dermal irritation study was performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404 and in compliance with GLP. The study was extended to investigate 5 different concentrations of the test material (100, 20, 10; 5, 1 %) and a vehicle control on each animal. 4 SPF rabbits were exposed to different concentrations of the test article (as provided or diluted in ethanol:DEP) at 6 skin sites on the back.

Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after the removal of the patch.

The mean scores calculated over the 4 animals tested within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.00 for erythema and 0.00 for oedema.

 

Slight dose related (100 %, 20 % and 10 % test concentrations) skin erythema was observed 1 hour after termination of exposure. Thereafter no abnormalities were observed.

 

Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/EC.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.
