Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
distilled water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied : 0.5g of test material moistened with 0.5ml distilled water

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
72h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: moistened test material introduced to the back of each rabbit under a 2.5cm x 2.5cm cotton gauze patch.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 4h

SCORING SYSTEM:

Immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the following scale:

EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTIONS

Erythema and Eschar Formation Value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema 4

Edema Formation
No edema 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight edema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 millimeter) 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond the area of
exposure) 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

The test item did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC for Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances.

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Executive summary:

Introduction

This study was undertaken to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand white rabbit. The study was designed to be compatible with the following internationally accepted guidelines and recommendations:

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 'Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion'

Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Results & Conclusions

The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

The test item did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC for Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances.

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
