Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
Approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the 4 hour exposure period.
Number of animals:
3 animals
Details on study design:
As the irritancy of the substance was unknown, a single animal was dosed to address potential irritation of the test item. As the response to treatment was considered to be within acceptable limits, a futher 2 animals were dosed, bringing the animal's group size to 3.
On the day before dosing a suitable test site was clipped free of hair on both sides of the mid-line of the dorsal surfaces of the trunk of each animal (approximately 15 x 10 cm).
The test item was used in the form suplied (solid), however, weighed aliquots of 0.5g were mixed to a paste using 0.5 ml of sterile water, just before dosing.
A quantity of 0.5 grams of the test material was spread evenly over a 2.5cmx 2.5cm cotton gauze pad and placed onto the animal's skin with the test item in direct contact with the skin. A strip of synthetic film was placed over the treated site and the whole assembly held in place by encircling the trunk of the animal with a length of elastic adhesive bandage. 4-hours after application the patches were removed and residual test material removed.
Mortality and morbidity were observed twice daily.
Bodyweight was taken on Day 1 and on termination (Day 4).
Skin reaction was scaled approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the 4 hour exposure period.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Corrosion: There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin
Colouration: No staining of the treated skin by the test substance was observed
Toxicity/Mortality: There was no indication of a systemic toxicity effect in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
Changes in body weight during the course of the study were not remarkable.
Other effects:
No erythema or oedema was apparent following a 4 hour period
of exposure to the test item in any animal of the study.

There was no indication of a systemic effect. Soft
faeces and mucus were noted on litter tray of a single
animal at the 48 hour observation. These things were not
considered treatment-related. Changes in body weight during
the course of the study were not remarkable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, 27th April 1993), E-AF098T (SOL-DP) does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
