- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Very slight erythema was noted at all treated skin sites one hour after patch removal with very slight to well-defined erythema at the 24 and 48-hour observations and very slight erythema at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation. Very slight oedema was noted at all treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation and at two treated skin sites at the 48-hour observation. Slight desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 7 -day observation. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.
- Other effects:
- - Other adverse local effects: Sliqht desquamation at day 7 in #2. Applicant assessment indicates that this would have resolved by day 14 by expert judgement.
- Other adverse systemic effects: None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test item is not considered to be irritating to the skin.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to EU Method B.4 and OECD 404 to assess the primary skin irritancy potential of the test item in accordance with GLP in New Zealand White rabbits. 0.5 ml of the test item was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period. After 4 hours of exposure to the test item, the pads and collars were removed and the test sites were gently cleaned of any residual test item with distilled water. Individual dose sites were scored according to the Draize scoring system at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and at 7 days after patch removal. Very slight erythema was noted at all treated skin sites one hour after patch removal with very slight to well-defined erythema at the 24 and 48-hour observations and very slight erythema at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation. Very slight oedema was noted at all treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation and at two treated skin sites at the 48-hour observation. Slight desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 7-day observation. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 72-hour observation. Under the conditions of this study the substance is not classified as irritating to the skin.
