Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Comparable to OECD 404 (1992) with acceptable restrictions [application time: 1, 5, 15 min and 20 h (OECD: 4 h); 2 animals used (OECD: 3); observation period 7 days (OECD: 14); dose 1 g (OECD: 0.5 mL)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF-TEST: Before OECD guideline 404 was established, skin irritation was tested using an internal method. White Vienna rabbits were used. Usually, 2 animals were treated for 1, 5, 15 min and 20 h using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 × 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid or powdered and moistened test substance. In addition, skin tissue from the ear was tested by wrapping the ear. These results from the ear, however, would not be taken into account for evaluation as they do not represent testing of the dorsal/lateral flank of the back. After the application time, the skin was washed with water which sometimes contained a mild detergent. The animals were observed 7 days and skin changes were recorded on working days.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
- 20 h application: a very slight erythema was observable in one animal which was fully reversible within 24 h; a well defined erythema was observable in animal 2, which was fully reversible within 72 h.
- 1-15 min exposure did also cause no edema or erythema
Other effects:
- A well defined erythema was observed on the ear of both animals which was fully reversible within 48 h.
