- Number of animals:

- Details on study design:
- -The rabbits were prepared by clipping the skin free of hair over approximately 10 % of the body surface (dorsal and ventral surfaces from scapular to pelvic area). Two test application sites, each approximately 2.5 cm² were delineated. One site was left intact while the other was abraded with a needle, taking special precaution not to penetrate the stratum corneum and not to cause bleeding.
-0.5 g test material was placed on each site and was immediately covered with a 2 x 2.25 inch adhesive-backed gauze patch. The patches and entire trunk of each rabbit were then wrapped with an elastic cloth to aid in maintaining test-patch position and to minimise evaporation.
-The patches were removed after 24 hours of exposure at which time the test sites were gently wiped clean of any residual test material.
Skin sites were evaluated at approximately 24 and 72 hours after initial exposure and scored as follows:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) or eschar formation (injuries in depth) preventing erythema reading 4
Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (edges raised approximately 1 millimetre) 3

- Other effects:
- All animals appeared active and healthy. There were no signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behaviour.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not irritating to skin and requires no classification in accordance with the EU criteria.
- Executive summary:
The primary skin irritation potential of the test material was investigated in accordance with the FHSA guideline 16 CFR 1500.41.
0.5 g of the test material was applied to both an intact and abraded site on each of six New Zealand White rabbits. The sites were occluded for 24 hours. The patches were then removed and the test sites wiped to prevent further exposure. Evaluation occurred 24 and 72 hours after exposure.
With the exception of one rabbit, which exhibited very slight erythema without oedema at both the intact and abraded site at 24 hours, all sites were clear of irritation during the test period (PDII = 0.09).
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not irritating to skin and requires no classification in accordance with the EU criteria.

Additional information
Skin Irritation
The key study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41.
0.5 g of the test material was applied to both an intact and abraded site on each of six New Zealand White rabbits. The sites were occluded for 24 hours. The patches were then removed and the test sites wiped to prevent further exposure. Evaluation occurred 24 and 72 hours after exposure.
With the exception of one rabbit, which exhibited very slight erythema without oedema at both the intact and abraded site at 24 hours, all sites were clear of irritation during the test period.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not irritating to skin and requires no classification.
Supporting information is provided in the form of a second study that broadly followed the FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41 guideline. This study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria of Klimisch (1997).
Six New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test material on one intact and one abraded skin site. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours and the animals were observed for the following 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
There were no signs of dermal irritation and the Primary Dermal Irritation Index = 0.0.
In this study the test material is not a dermal irritant and does not require classification.
Eye Irritation
The key eye irritation study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline FHSA 16 CFR 1500.42.
0.1 g of the test material was instilled into the left eye of six New Zealand white rabbits, with three of the treated eyes being rinsed after 30 seconds with saline. The animals were observed for 72 hours and the eyes examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Irritation was scored according to the method of Draize.
The test material produced minimal irritation to both the unwashed and washed eyes and no classification is required under the conditions of this study.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The key study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41. It was well reported and adhered to sound scientific principles. It was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria of Klimisch (1997).

Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test material does not require classification for irritation or corrosion to either the skin or eye.
