Other effects:
4 hour exposure of abraded skin under occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean of 0.47 and a combined edema mean of 0.067. Erythema was not fully reversible within 72 hours whereas edema was fully reversible within 48 hours.

24 hour exposure of non-abraded skin under non-occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean score of 1.0 at 26h and 0.2 at 72h; and a combined edema mean score of 1.0 at 26h and 0 at 72 hours after onset of exposure.

24 hour exposure of intact skin under occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean of 1.0 and the combined edema mean was 0.75; both the erythema and edema were not fully reversible within 72 hours. 24 hour exposure of abraded skin under occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean of 1.0 and a combined edema mean of 0.65; both erythema and edema were not fully reversible within 72 hours.

24 hour exposure of intact skin under non-occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean of 0.6 and the combined edema mean was 0.55; the edema, but not the erythema, was fully reversible within 72 hours. 24 hour exposure of abraded skin under occlusive conditions resulted in a combined erythema mean of 0.85 and a combined edema mean of 0.5; the edema, but not the erythema, was fully reversible within 72 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean erythema and edema scores for the study substance were 0.36 and 0.1 (4 hour occluded), 1.0 and 0.75 (24 hour occluded), and 0.6 and 0.5 (24 hour non-occluded), respectively.This finding does not warrant classification of the study substance as a dermal irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) nor as an R38 skin irritant under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

The study substance was administered to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were selected on both the left and right flank of each animals and designated as anterior (4-hour, occluded), middle (24-hour, occluded), and posterior (24-hour, non-occluded). All sites of the right flank were abraded. 0.5 ml of the study substance was applied to each test site. Following the 4 hour exposure, the test sites were evaluated for dermal irritation at 1/2, 24, 48, and 72 hours according to the Draize method. Following the 24 hour exposures, both test sites were evaluated at 26 and 72 hours. Clinical observations were recorded at approximately 1 and 4 hours post-dosing. Slight to moderate erythema and edema were noted at each test site. Soft stool, decreased fecal output, and decreased food consumption were observed in one or more animals. The mean erythema and edema scores for the study substance were 0.36 and 0.1 (4 hour occluded), 1.0 and 0.75 (24 hour occluded), and 0.6 and 0.5 (24 hour non-occluded), respectively.This finding does not warrant classification of the study substance as a dermal irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) nor as an R38 skin irritant under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
