Principles of method if other than guideline:

- Principle of test: Intact and abraded sites of skin are exposed to the test material, under occlusive bandaging for a period of 24 hours, after which each site is graded for both erythema and edema at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 4 and 5 days after application.

- Short description of test conditions: Two shaved intact and two shaved abraded skin sites per animal, in 6 animals, are exposed to the test material under occlusive bandaging for contact with these areas of skin for 24 hours, after which erythema and edema are graded per skin location at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 4 and 5 days after application. The 4 application sites per animal consist of 1) 100% test material on intact skin, 2) 100% test material on abraded skin, 3) 50% (w/w) test material in petrolatum on intact skin, 4) 50% (w/w) test material in petrolatum on abraded skin.

- Parameters analysed / observed: The intact and abraded skin sites for each treatment in each of the 6 animals used on test were graded by naked eye using Draize scoring for erythema and crust formation, and for edema formation. An irritation index was determined using the sum of the total erythema points plus the total edema points, and then dividing by the number of animals (6).
1) The Primary Irritation Index (P.I.I.) was calculated by adding all 8 scores obtained for each animal, dividing the sums obtained by 4, and calculating the average for 6 animals. A P.I.I. of 0 to 2 according to the Draize score methodology equates to an irritation rating of "Slightly irritant."
2) The degree of irritation in the intact skin was evaluated by adding all 4 scores obtained from each animal, dividing the sums obtained by 4, and calculating the average for 6 animals. According to the method of Campbell et al, the test material resulted in an evaluation of "not irritant and safe for application to intact skin."

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Conclusions:

In this primary skin irritation study in rabbits, the test material showed no irritant effect on either intact or abraded skin at 100% or 50% (w/w; in petrolatum), indicating that it is a non-irritant.
