Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, DEV 98-25 is not classified as skin irritant according to the criteria of Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline N°404, three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of DEV 98-25 at two skin sites on the back.

Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 7 days. The skin reactions were assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 days after removal of the dressing. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times; 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, for each animal separately.

The mean individual scores were 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 for erythema and 0.7, 0.0 and 0.0 for edema.

Based upon the directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation 1272/2008, DEV 98 -25 is not considered as irritating to the rabbit skin.
