Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml (as supplied).
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours.
Observation period:
Up to 14 days (1 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 days and 14 days.)
Number of animals:
3.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back (dorsal/flank).
- Type of wrap if used: Test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours.


SCORING SYSTEM: the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the grading in the test guideline. The results were interpreted under EU classification system.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
See the table below. The test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced erythema and oedema which were fully reversible within 14 days.
Other effects:
Loss of skin elasticity was noted at all treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Crust formation, which prevented evaluation of erythema and oedema, was noted at all treated skin sites at the 7-day observation.


All the treated skin sites appeared normal at the 14-day
observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is classified as R38 Irritating to skin under Council Directive 67/548/EEC but does not meet the criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Introduction. The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

§        OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)

§        Commission Directive 92/69/EEC method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation)

 

Results. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced erythema and oedema. Other skin reactions noted were loss of skin elasticity and crust formation. All treated skin site appeared normal at the 14-day observation.

 

Conclusion. The test material is classified as R38 Irritating to skin under Council Directive 67/548/EEC and as but does not meet the criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
