Vehicle:

Amount / concentration applied:

500 mg

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

3 days post administration

Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: On the day prior to application, the flanks of each animal were clipped using electric clippers. A dose of 500 mg of test material was applied to a 6 cm² hydrophilic gauze pad moistened with water and this was then applied to the right flank of the animals for 4 hours. The left flank did not receive any test material and served as an untreated control.
- Type of wrap if used: The test material and gauze pad were held in contact with the skin by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and a restraining bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): At the end of the exposure period, the dressing was removed and any residual test material was wiped off with a gauze pad moistened with water.
- Time after start of exposure: approximately 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
The Draize scale, presented as table 1 in the field "Any other information on material and methods incl. tables" was used to assess the degree of erythema and oedema at the application sites approximately 1 hour and 1, 2 and 3 days after the removal of the dressings.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

A well-defined erythema (grade 2) was observed in two animals on days 1 and 2, then a very slight erythema (grade 1) was noted in these animals on day 3. In the third animal, only a very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed on days 1 and 2.
A slight orange colouration of the skin was noted in all animals from day 1 up to the end of the observation period (day 4).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, the test material did not elicit any reaction in any of the animals during the course of the study that meant the test material required classification as a skin irritant. Only very slight erythema was seen and this was fully reversible with 72 hours. The study is considered to be reliable, relevant and adequate for risk assessment and classification and labelling purposes.

Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test material was determined in accordance with standardised guidelines OECD 404 and EU Method B.4. Three rabbits received a single four hour application of 500 mg of test material and were assessed for the following 3 days for any signs of skin irritation. The mean score over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each individual animal was 0.0 for oedema. The mean score over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each individual animal was 1.0, 1.0 and 0.3 for erythema. All skin reactions were fully reversible within 72 hours. Therefore, under the conditions of the study, the test material did not elicit any reaction in any of the animals during the course of the study that meant the test material required classification as a skin irritant.
