Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
New Zealand White rabbits, weighing between 2.0 and 3.0 kg,
The animals are maintained on appropriate commercial diet and municipal water. Both are available ad libitum expect during periods of manipulation. Animal weights are recorded at 0 days (before dose), 7 days and 14 days (just prior sacrifice). At death or sacrifice, each animal is subjected to gross pathological evaluation.

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
Male or female New Zealand White rabbits are dosed with 0.5 ml (or 0.5 g for solids, moistened with water or other suitable vehicle). The dose is applied to the clipped, intact skin under a gauze patch and is loosely covered with impervious sheeting. Smaller amounts are given if 0.5 ml (or 0.5 g) is lethal. The test material is applied to each of 6 rabbits, which are restrained for the 4-hr contact period.

Excess sample is removed after contact. Skin reaction is scored, by the method of Draize, at one hour, one day, 2 days, 3 days, 7 days, and, depending on the local skin reaction, possibly 10 and 14 days after dosing.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Skin Irritation, Rabbit (4-hr occluded)
Severe erythema, moderate to severe edema, necrosis on 6 of 6 rabbits from 0.5 ml; ulceration, scabs also apparent; irritation persisted through 14 days. Corrosive to skin.
