Irritant / corrosive response data:

See attached document for table of scores and observations.

No corrosive effects were noted

3 minutes
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.
1 hour exposure
Very slight erythema was noted at the treated skin site at the treated skin site at the 24-hour observation with well-defined erythema and very slight oedema noted at the 48-hour observation and very slight erythema and very slight oedema at the 72-hour observation.
The treated skin appeared normal atthe 7-day observation.
4-hour exposure
Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one treated site 1 hours after patch removal. Well-defined erythema and very slight oedema were noted at both treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation with well-defined erythema and slight oedema noted at the 8 and 72-hour observations. Well-defined erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one treated skin site at the 7-day observation.

Other effects:

4 hour exposure
Loss of skin elasticity and flexibility were noted at both treated skin sites at the 48 and 72-hour observations and at one treated skin site at the 7-day observation. Light brown discolouration of the epidermis was also noted at both treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Superficial cracking of the epidermis was also noted at one treated skin site at the 7-day observation. Crust formation was noted at one treated skin site at the 7 and 14-day observations and preventedaccurate evaluation of erythema and oedema at teh 7-day observation. Glossy skin was noted at the other treated skin site at the 14-day observation.

Body weight
Both animals showed expecetd gain in body weigt during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is not required for dermal irritation as the primary effects, erythema and edema, were reversed by the end of the observation period and the scores for erythema did not fall within the range requiring classification..

Executive summary:

Test Guidance

OECD Guideline No. 404 and EU Method B4

Method and materials

An acute dermal irritation study was conducted using undiluted test substance on New Zealand white rabbits. Initially, one rabbit was used and three patches of 0.5 mL test substance/site was applied on to clipped unabraded skin under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton guaze patch. One patch was removed following 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. After consideration of the skin reactions observed in animal 1, one further animal was treated. The test substance was administered once and the patch remained in contact with the skin for 4 hours and then followed by removal of the patch containing the test article. Following the exposure periods, the bandages were removed and the application sites were evaluated in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal and daily through Day 14.

Results

The mean total scores for erythema and oedema were 2 and 1.67 respectively. All erythema and oedema was reversible by the 14 day observation period.

A single 4 -hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to intact skin of two rabbits produced well-defined erythema and slight oedema. Other dermal reactions noted were loss of skin elasticity and flexibility, light brown disolouration of the epidermis, superficial cracking of the epidermis, crust formation and glossy skin. On one occasion the reactions noted prevented the accurate evaluation of erythema and oedema. No corrosive effects were noted.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is not required for dermal irritation as the primary effects, erythema and edema, were reversed by the end of the observation period and the scores for erythema did not fall within the range requiring classification.
