TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River France, L’Arbresle, France
- Age at study initiation: 21-22 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 3490-3727 grams
- Housing: On arrival and following assignment to the study, animals were housed individually in labeled cages with perforated floors (Ebeco, Germany, dimensions 67 x 62 x 55 cm) equipped with water bottles. The room(s) in which the animals were kept were documented in the study records. Each cage was clearly labeled.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted diet for rabbits (Global Diet 2030 Teklad®, Mucedola, Milanese, Italy) was provided once daily throughout the study. In addition, hay (TecniLab-BMI BV, Someren, The Netherlands) was available during the study period. The feed was analyzed by the supplier for nutritional components and environmental contaminants. Results of the analysis were provided by the supplier and are on file at the Test Facility. It is considered that there were no known contaminants in the feed that would interfere with the objectives of the study.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Municipal tap-water was freely available to each animal via water bottles. Periodic analysis of the water was performed, and results of these analyses are on file at the Test Facility. It is considered that there were no known contaminants in the water that would interfere with the objectives of the study.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18-24
- Humidity (%): 70-73
- Air changes (per hr): At least 10 an hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Four hours exposure to 0.5 mL of the test article resulted in very slight edema in the treated areas of two of the three rabbits. The skin irritation resolved within 24 hours after exposure in these animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study (PII= 0.22), the test article is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation potential of the test article was evaluated in three female rabbits. The study was conducted according to OECD 404 (2015) in compliance with OECD GLP principles. Three female rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the test article by application onto clipped skin. The test article was covered with a metalline patch mounted on micropore tape which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage. Following a 4 hour exposure to the test article, the site was washed with tap water and skin reactions were assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Four hours exposure to 0.5 mL of the test article resulted in very slight edema in the treated areas of two of the three rabbits. The skin irritation resolved within 24 hours after exposure in these animals. Based on the results of the study (PII= 0.22), the test article is not a skin irritant.
