Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.5 g of test material
- Concentration: 50 %
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
3 male and 3 female
Details on study design:
PREPARATION
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 one side was slightly scarified with the help of a "SchröpfSchnäpper", Aesculap, Switzerland
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: gauze patches. The patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Due to intensive staining by the test compound erythema was not assessable. For the purpose of calculating the primary irritation index erythema was assumed to be equal to edema based on the correlation existing (Marzulli and Maibach, Fol. Cosm. Tox. 13, 355, 1975).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Non irritant
Executive summary:

Method:

The skin irritation was determined in an irritation test on rabbits according to the Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics (1959), the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), similar to OECD guideline 404. During the test 3 male and 3 female of Hymalaian rabbit were exposed to the substance on intact and abradeed skin, nevertheless in order to evaluate the irritation potential of the substance only the scores registered on intact skin were considered.

Due to intensive staining by the test compound erythema was not assessable. For the purpose of calculating the primary irritation index erythema was assumed to be equal to edema based on the correlation existing (Marzulli and Maibach, Fol. Cosm. Tox. 13, 355, 1975).

Result:

Not irritating
