Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
0.5 mL undiluted substance was applied to the skin of New Zealand Albino rabbits. Area of skin was abraded or intact prior to administration of substance.
Four out of 6 animals died within 24 hours and therefore a reduced amount (0.2 mL) was employed for the study.
The substance was kept in contact with skin for 24 hours - covering type not specified.
GLP compliance:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not a dermal irritant in an vivo skin irritation study conducted in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The irritant or corrosive effects of the substance when applied dermally was evaluated in six New Zealand White rabbits. Six rabbits were dosed dermally with the substance (0.5mL/animal) to one intact and abraded site/rabbit. At this concentration four out of 6 animals died within 24 hours and therefore the study was repeated using 0.2 mL of the substance. The substance was kept in contact with skin for 24 hours - covering type not specified. Dermal reactions were scored at 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours following patch removal. Erythma and oedema was barely perceptible at 48 hours following patch removal and absent at 72 hours. It is concluded that the substance is not a dermal irritant.
