Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Draize Test 1965
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test material was applied as submitted to the intact skin and covered with a "1 x 1" gauze patch held in place with saran wrap. At the end of 4 hours, the coverings were removed and the area examined for skin irritation and corrosion. Examinations were repeated at 24 and 48 hours and scored according to Draize 1965.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Result: corrosive
EC Classification: irritating at 0.5 mL
Executive summary:

The test material was applied as submitted to the intact skin and covered with a "1 x 1" gauze patch held in place with saran wrap. At the end of 4 hours, the coverings were removed and the area examined for skin irritation and corrosion. Examinations were repeated at 24 and 48 hours and scored according to Draize 1965 The primary dermal irritation scores were 3.4, 6.3, and 7.0 at 4, 24, and 48 hours, respectively.

The test substance is considered corrosive to skin according to OECD GHS guidelines.
