- Housing: singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging
- Diet: Harlan Teklad Global High Fiber Rabbit Diet® #2031. A designated amount of the diet was available to each rabbit (approximately 150 grams/day)
- Water: Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 6 or 13 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-21 °C
- Humidity (%): 32-59%
- Air changes (per hr): 12
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/dark cycle

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
other: moistened with distilled water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g (0.83 g of the test mixture). Prior to application, the test substance was moistened with distilled water to achieve a dry paste by preparing a 60% w/w test mixture.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
30-60 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: one 6-cm2 intact dose site on each animal
- Type of wrap if used: The pad and entire trunk of each animal were then wrapped with semi-occlusive 3-inch Micropore tape to avoid dislocation of the pad

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hrs

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

Any other information on results incl. tables

All animals appeared active and healthy during the study. One animal lost body weight at the end of the study. There were no clinical signs observed. There was no dermal irritation observed at any treated dose site during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for the test substance to produce irritation after a single topical application. At the request of the Sponsor, the study was conducted in a stepwise manner using a single patch applied initially to one rabbit for 4 hours. Five-tenths of a gram of the test substance was applied to a patch and then to the skin of one healthy rabbit for 4 hours. The dose site was evaluated for dermal irritation by the method of Draize et al. immediately after patch removal and/or at 30-60 minutes and 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal. Since there was no dermal irritation noted at the dose site of this animal, the test was completed on two additional animals, as described above. There was no dermal irritation observed at any treated dose site during the study.
