Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.46 g
- Batch no. (if required): T 8810 B
- Purity: Not specified
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
6 animals
Details on study design:
TEST SITE (information provided in study protocol)
- Area of exposure: The test material is applied to the animal's skin, to an area about 6 cm2 and then covered with a Codex hydrophilic eight layer gauze pad, of the same surface.
- % coverage: Not specified
- Type of wrap if used: The test article will be applied under a semi-occlusive dressing composed of a gauze pad approximately 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm, maintained in contact with the skin with a perforated tape. This tape will be applied on a crimped gauze bandage which will fully cover the clipped area to avoid possible imitation reactions and be wrapped around the animal without blocking the respiratory and abdominal movements.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The bandages were removed and, if necessary, excess test article which had not penetrated was wiped away with a gauze pad moistened with pure plive oil. Readings were then carried out 1 hour later.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: As specified in OECD Guideline 404 (1981)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
From the results obtained under the experimental conditions employed, application of the test article to the rabbit skin provoked a weak irritation but the effects were fully reversible by 72 hours after treatment.
Executive summary:

The test material, Millad®3988, was evaluated for its acute primary cutaneous irritation and corrosivity potential in male rabbits. The results obtained under the experimental conditions employed demonstrated that application of this test article to the rabbit skin provoked a weak irritation (erythema) but the effects were fully reversible by 72 hours after treatment. No oedema was observed over the 72 hour post exposure period.
