Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.7 ± 0.1 kg
- Housing: Individually in polystyrene cages (35 x 55 x 32 cm or 48.2 x 58 x 36.5 cm).
- Diet: Pelleted diet ad libitum.
- Water: Filtered water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days.
- Animal selection: The day before treatment, the skin of ach animal was examined in order to use only animals without any signs of cutaneous irritation. Animals showing signs of cutaneous irritation, cutaneous defects or pre-existing dermal injury were not used.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 ± 3 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 – 70 %
- Photoperiod: 12 hour light/dark cycle.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 500 mg per animal as supplied.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours.

Observation period:

72 hours.

Number of animals:

3 male rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² on the right flank of each animal. The left flank (clipped) served as an untreated control.
- Type of wrap if used: The test material was prepared on a gauze pad moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water, and held in place with an adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and a restraining bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Any residual test material was removed with gauze moistened with water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Cutaneous examinations were performed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing. Dermal irritation was evaluated in accordance with the Draize scale, see Table 1. Any other lesions were noted.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Very slight orange colouration of the test site which could not mask an erythema was observed on all animals during the study.
No skin reaction was noted in one animal.
A very slight or slight erythema (grade 1 or 2) was observed one hour after treatment in two of the animals. Erythema persisted for 24 hours in one rabbit only.
No oedema was noted at any time.

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 test, the test material is considered to be a non-irritant since none of the animals displayed a classifiable reaction.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation of the test material was determined in vivo in a study conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 404 and EU method B.4.

Three male New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 500 mg of the test material for 4 hours. Dermal irritation was assessed 1 hour after removal and then at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal according to the Draize scale. Any other lesions were noted.

A very slight orange colouration of the test site which could not mask an erythema was observed on all animals during the study. No skin reaction was noted in one animal. A very slight or slight erythema (grade 1 or 2) was observed one hour after treatment in two of the animals. Erythema persisted for 24 hours in one rabbit only. No oedema was noted at any time.

Under the conditions of the test, the test material is considered to be a non-irritant since none of the animals displayed a reaction severe enough to trigger classification.
