Preparation of test site:

clipped

Remarks:

Intact skin

Vehicle:

not specified

Controls:

not specified

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal flank area
- Type of wrap if used: 2.5 cm x 2.5 gauze patch. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive Tape. to Prevent t he animals
from interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in
an elasticted corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): any residual test removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water followed by diethyl ether
- Time after start of exposure:1hour

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize scoring system. The results were also interpreted according to the E.E.C. Directive of 29 July 1983 83/467/EEC adapting Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the regulations relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Well-defined erythema was observed within 3 days of exposure in all animals. Signs of keratinization were observed on day 7. Moderate edema was observed at 24 hours in all animals, and regressed to slight by day 3. No corrosive effects were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The Primary irritation index of 4.7 was observed for test material Dicyclopentadiene (CAS no: 77-73-6). therefore Dicyclopentadiene was considered to be moderately irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits .

Executive summary:

Skin irritation study of Dicyclopentadiene (CAS no: 77-73-6) was conducted on three New Zealand White rabbits to observe its irritation efficacy in accordance with OECD Guidelines No. 404 -Acute Dermal irritation /Corrosion.

 

In this study, 0.5ml ofDicyclopentadienewas applied to intact skin locations on the backs of each rabbits for four hours semi-occlusive condition and skin reactions were scored for 7 daysaccording to Draize scoring system. The results were also interpreted according to the E.E.C. Directive of 29 July 1983 83/467/EEC adapting Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the regulations relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.

 

 

Well-defined erythema was observed within 3 days of exposure in all animals. Signs of keratinization were observed on day 7. Moderate edema was observed at 24 hours in all animals, and regressed to slight by day 3. No corrosive effects were observed.

 

 

Since the Primary irritation index of 4.7was obtained ,the chemical Dicyclopentadiene was considered to bemoderately irritatingto the skin ofNew Zealand Whiterabbits .
