Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The skin disc were removed from the dorsal and flank areas.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The test item and the control items were removed by washing with a jet of tap water at up to 30ºC.
- Time after start of exposure: 24h

SCORING SYSTEM:
The test item is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if:
- the mean TER value obtained for the test item is greater than 5 kΩ, or
- the mean TER value is less than or equal to 5 kΩ, and the skin disc shows no obvious damage.
The test item is considered to be corrosive to skin if:
- the mean TER value obtained for the test item is less than or equal to 5 kΩ and
- the skin disc is obviously damaged.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The gross examination showed that the positive control skin discs exhibited skin perforation, whereas the negative control skin discs and the ones treated with the test item did not reveal any changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item did not induce skin corrosion/severe irritation effects in this in vitro TER skin corrosion test.

Executive summary:

The in vitro skin corrosion test (transcutaneous electrical resistance), was performed according to OECD Guideline 430, EU method B.40 and followed GLP principles. The skin discs used in the experiment were obtained from 2 young female Wistar rats (28 -day-old animals). The electrical resistance of the skin discs measured before the start of the experiment was greater 10 kΩ. Three skin discs obtained from each animal were used for the test item and three for each control item. The test item was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin placed in a tube for 24h. Positive (36% hydrochloric acid) and negative (distilled water) controls were conducted concurrently. After removing the test item (or control item), the surface tension of the skin was reduced with a solution of ethanol, and after that a solution of MgSO₄ was applied to hydrate the skin. Then the electrical resistance of the skin was measured placing the databridge electrodes on either side of the skin disc. The mean TER results were 5.91 and 6.81 kΩ (both higher than 5 kΩ). After that, the MgSO₄ solution was removed and gross examination of the skin did not detect visible changes. In conclusion, the test item was not considered to lead to skin corrosion/severe irritation under the test conditions.
