Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
Amount(s) applied (weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Concentration (if solution): 100 %
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
8
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
Area of exposure: dorsum of rabbits.
Type of wrap if used: occlusive patches were prepared by heat-sealing 1" x 1" 24 ply gauze pads on to 1.25" x 1.25" squares of polythene sheeting, which was then attached to 3.5" x 1" strips of adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After removal of the patches, the treated site was wiped to remove the residual material.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Treated sites were scored for erythema, oedema, cracking and scaling and any other feature using an 8-point anchored ordinate scale ranging from "a" (very slight) to "h" (severe). For better interpretation, an equivalence with OECD guideline 404 scoring system was made (see table 7.3.1/3).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Nopyl acetate produced marginal to slight oedema and erythema, and slight to fairly distinct cracking and scaling.

Overall level of irritation was less than that of the control, cyclamen aldehyde, which produced fairly distinct to fairly well-developed erythema, fairly distinct to distinct oedema and slight cracking and scaling.

Response to nopyl acetate was greater than that produced by the control, diethyl phthalate, which produced only a marginal response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Nopyl acetate induced only slight skin irritation in rabbits. As overall mean scores for erythema and oedema were lower than 2, nopyl acetate is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (similar to OECD Guideline No 404), eight New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of nopyl acetate (100 %) under a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 h. After removal of the residual test item, treated sites were scored for erythema, oedema, cracking and scaling and any other feature using an 8-point anchored ordinate scale ranging from very slight to severe at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure. Cyclamen aldehyde and diethyl phthalate were used as standards for comparison.

 

Nopyl acetate produced marginal to slight oedema and erythema, and slight to fairly distinct cracking and scaling. Overall level of irritation was less than that of the control, cyclamen aldehyde, which produced fairly distinct to fairly well-developed erythema, fairly distinct to distinct oedema and slight cracking and scaling. Response to nopyl acetate was greater than that produced by the control, diethyl phthalate, which produced only a marginal response. When using an equivalence between this scoring scale and the OECD 404 scoring system, the overall mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 h were 1.2 and 0.9 for erythema and oedema, respectively.

 

Nopyl acetate induced only slight skin irritation in rabbits. As overall mean scores for erythema and oedema were lower than 2, nopyl acetate is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
