Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped with electric clipper
Vehicle:
other: bi-distilled water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g of Actinol per animal was moistened with water prior to administration. The test substance was applied to a surgical gauze patch which was settled on approximately 6 cm2 of the intact skin of the clipped area. The gauze was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing, which was wrapped around the abdomen and fixed with tape.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
one male, two females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm2
- % coverage:
- Type of wrap if used: semi-occlusive


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): lukewarm tap water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours after start of exposure


SCORING SYSTEM:
The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, 1992, at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch, and test substance.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Application of the test substance to healthy, intact rabbit skin resulted in a primary irritation score of 0.00. Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 oedema. No signs of irritation were observed.
No staining by the test substance of the treated skin was observed. No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred. The bodyweight of all rabbits was considered to be within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based upon the referred classification criteria, Actinol is considered to be "not irritating" to the rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test substance Actinol was investigated by topical application of 0.5 g to 6cm2 intact dorsal skin of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits according to Directive 92/69/EEC, B.4, 1992, and OECD Guideline No. 404, 1992. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion.

The primary irritation score was calculated by totaling the individual cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and then dividing by the number of data points. The primary irritation score was 0.00 (max. 8.0).

Local signs (mean values from 24 and 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 oedema.

The test article caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the skin of any animal at any measuring interval.

Based upon the referred classification criteria (EEC Directive 93/21/EEC, 1993), the test substance is considered to be "not irritating" to the rabbit skin.
