Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
0.5 mL of the test material was applied to the clipped dorsal skin of three rabbits for 4 hours under semi-occlusive conditions. Exposure was terminated by washing the remaining test material from the application site with acetone. Local dermal reactions were scored at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
There was no evidence of local dermal irritation at the application site in any rabbit at any time point; fenitrothion does not therefore require classification for skin corrosion or skin irritation according to the CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of fenitrothion was investigated in a rabbit study according to OECD 404. 0.5 mL fenitrothion was applied to the clipped dorsal skin of three rabbits for 4 hours under semi-occlusive conditions.  Exposure was terminated by washing the remaining test material from the application site.  Local dermal reactions were scored at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. There was no evidence of local dermal irritation at the application site in any rabbit at any time point; fenitrothion does not therefore require classification for skin corrosion or skin irritation according to the CLP criteria.
