Animal No. 2, revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) observed at 1 hour of observation post patch removal. At 24 hour well defined erythema and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) was observed. At 48 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no oedema was observed. At 72 hour no erythema and no oedema was observed. Animal No. 3, revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) observed at 1 hour of observation post patch removal. At 24 hour slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no oedema was observed. At 48 and 72 hour no erythema and no oedema was observed.
The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 1.00, 0.33 and 0.00, 0.33, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively
Other effects:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 1.00, 0.33 and 0.00, 0.33, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively. Hence, under the experimental conditions tested it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of female New Zealand White rabbits and Classified as “Category- Not Classified as Skin Irritant" as per CLP criteria
Executive summary:

Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of the test chemical was performed as per OECD guideline No. 404. Three healthy young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were used. Rabbits with good intact skin were selected for the study. The hairs of all the rabbits were clipped at contralateral sites, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A dose of0.5 ml of test chemical (as such) was applied to the skin, over an area of approximately 6 x 6 cm clipped of hair on one side of rabbits. The other untreated side was kept as control area and 0.5 ml of distilled water was applied at this site. At the end of 4 hours, the gauze patch was removed and test chemical application site was wiped with water without altering the integrity of the epidermis.  Initially, the test chemical was applied to the clipped area of skin of one rabbit. The test site was covered with gauze patch. At 1 hour of observation, very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) was observed in animal no. 1. At 24 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no oedema was observed. Hence the confirmatory test was conducted after 24 hours on additional two rabbits (No. 2 and 3) to confirm the non irritant nature of the test chemical. At 48 and72 hours observation no erythema and no oedema was observed in animal no 1.The patch was removed after 4 hours and rabbits were observed for erythema and oedema at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, evaluated and graded as per Draize method.At 48 and 72 hours observation no erythema and no oedema was observed in animal no 1. Animal No. 2, revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) observed at 1 hour of observationpost patch removal. At 24 hour well defined erythema and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) was observed. At 48 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no oedema was observed. At 72 hour no erythema and no oedema was observed. Animal No. 3, revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) observed at 1 hour of observation post patch removal. At 24 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible)andno oedema was observed. At 48 and 72 hour no erythema and no oedema was observed.The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 1.00, 0.33 and 0.00, 0.33, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively.  Hence, under the experimental conditions tested it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of female New Zealand White rabbits and Classified as “Category- Not Classified as Skin Irritant" as per CLP criteria.
