Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- clipped
- Remarks:
- On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers.
- Vehicle:
- water
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g of the test material, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water to achieve a paste
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- One animal with three patches for a duration of 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours, respectively.
The second animal with one patch for 4 hours. - Observation period:
- lmmediately 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. The proposed 24 and 48-hour observations at the 3 minute and 1- hour exposure sites were performed approximately three to four hours later than specified in the guideline.
- Number of animals:
- 2
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: three suitable sites on the back of the rabbit
- % coverage: area under the 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch
- Type of wrap if used: the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset for the duration of the exposure period
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: one patch at each time point (3 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and after application)
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
lmmediately 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.
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Erythema and eschar formation and oedema formation were evaluated in the scale of severity from 0 to 4 (Table1).
- Method of calculation:
The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72-hour readings were totalled for the two test rabbits (8 values) and this total was divided by four to give the primary irritation index of the test material.
The test material was classified according to the scheme (Table 2) devised by Draize J H (1959) "Dermal Toxicity" ln: Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics. Association of Food and Drug Officiais of the United States, Austin, Texas, p.46-59:
If irreversible alteration of the dermal tissue is noted in any rabbit, as judged by the Study Director, which include ulceration and clear necrosis or signs of scar tissue, the test material is classified as corrosive to rabbit skin. Classification according to Draize may, therefore, not be applicable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to EU labelling regulations (EC) No 440/2008.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the 4,4'-Benzylidenedianiline following single, 3-minute, 1 and 4-hour, semi-occluded applications to the intact rabbit skin according to the OECD guideline 404 and method B4 of the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008. None of the applications to the rabbit intact skin produced any evidence of skin irritation. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to EU labelling regulations (EC) No 440/2008.
