Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Three New Zealand White rabbits supplied by David Percival Ltd, Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, UK were used. At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.59 to 2.86 kg and were twelve to sixteen weeks old. After a minimum acclimatisation period of five days each animal was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker-pen on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label. The animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages. Free access to mains drinking water and food (STANRAB SQC Rabbit Diet, Special Diets Services Ltd, Witham, Essex, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
The animal room was maintained at a temperature of 17 to 19C and relative humidity of 56 to 71%. On one occasion the relative humidity was above the limit specified in the protocol (70%). This deviation was considered not to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. The rate of air exchange was approximately fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

distilled

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5g of test material, moistened with 0.5ml of distilled water.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4h
The test material was applied under a 2.5cm x 2.5cm cotton gauze patch. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesion tape (BLENDERM: app. size 2.5cm x 4.0cm). To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

Observation period:

Approximately 1h after removal of the patches and 24, 48, 72 hours later

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

The exposed sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation (erythema, oedema and any other skin reactions, if present) and scored according to the Draize scale (J.H.Draize (1977), "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and procedures for evaluating the toxicity of household substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.31).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test material, UK-114,958, produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to EU legislation. No pictogram or hazard statement are required.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed the recommendations of thr OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 17 July 1992 and Method B4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

The results may be used as a basis for classification and labelling under Annex BI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC) relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.

A single 4 - hour semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced no evidence of skin irritation.

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to EU labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
