- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: two days before treatment the entire back and the flank of the rabbits were shaved with an electric clipper and immediately before treatment the shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified. For treatment gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm with test material were applied to the prepared abraded and non abraded skin.
- Type of wrap if used: the patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
The skin irritation was scored immediately and 48 hours after removal of the dressings (24 and 72 hours after initiation of treatment).
SCORING SYSTEM
The severity of skin irritation was rated as follows: a mean value of less than 2 indicated mild, from 2 to 6 moderate and above 6 severe skin irritation.
The primary irritation index is the mean value of the sum of the scores for erythema and edema from all 6 rabbits 24 and 72 hours after initiation of treatment. The maximum possible score is 8
Erythema and eschar formation
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Maximum possible erythema score 4
Edema formation
No edema 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) 4
Maximum possible edema score 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Mild skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
The skin irritation of the test item was evaluated in a study conducted according to the patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed, weighing 1.5 to 2 kgs, were shaved on the whole back and flanks two days before treatment with an electric clipper. The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. A gauze patch of 2.5 x 2.5 cm with the test substance was applied to the prepared skin. The patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fixed to the body with adhesive tape. The substance was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it. The primary irritation index as the measure of the acute skin irritation provoked by the substance is defined as the average of all the ratings found after 24 and 72 hours on the intact and slightly scarified skin. No erythema or edema were seen with the exposed intact skin. Slight irritation was observed with abraded skin of 3 rabbits. The primary irritation index was 0.1.
Conclusion
Mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in all the tested animals, for both intact and abraded skin and for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions; therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
