- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- There was evidence of irritant effects of different severity: well defined and moderate to severe erythema, slight oedema (animals No. 19 and No. 22) and eschar and crust formation (animal No. 21). Described effects lasted for 14 days.
During the 14-day observation period, the lesions on the skin were almost healed: the symptoms of irritation effect (crust, erythema, oedema) persisted to the end of period but in much lesser extent.
It is possible to predict, that if the observation period will last for further few days, the lesion would be fully healed. It could be presumed that the changes on the skin will be reversible. - Other effects:
- No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Choramine B trihydrate is irritant.
- Executive summary:
The test substance, Chloramin B trihydrate, was tested in the study for acute dermal irritation/corrosion inNew Zealand Albino rabbits according to EU method B.4 and OECD TG 404.
Test substance was applied first on the skin of one rabbit. Well defined erythema and slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) were caused by 4-hour exposure to Chloramin B at 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure of the test substance. In confirmatory test, other two rabbits were used. In these two test animals the skin irritation symptoms of different severity (erythema, oedema, crust and eschar formation) were observed in scheduled time intervals. No extinction of irritant lesions were recorded at 72 hours after exposure, so these three test animals were then observed until the end of observation period. During the 14-day observation period, the lesions on the skin were almost healed: the symptoms of irritation effect (crust, erythema, oedema) persisted to the end of period but in much lesser extent. The test substance is irritatant, but no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
