Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- Application of the test article to the skin of rabbits under 4-hour semioccluded conditions resulted in no erthema or edema reactions. The average ofthe 4-, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour scores is 0. The test article is considered to be nonirritating.
- Executive summary:
A primary dermal irritation study was conducted according to OECD guideline 404. One male and two female acclimated animals were selected and maintained during the study period. Within 24 hours before treatment, the hair was clipped from the back and flanks of each animal. The test article was applied to the shaved intact skin on each animal's back in the amount of 0.5 mL. the area of application was covered with 2.5-cm x 2.5-cm gauze patch secured with paper tape, loosely overwrapped with Saran Wrap to provide a semiocclusive dressing. At the end of the 4-hour exposure period the patches were removed and the test sites washed with tap water. Thirty minutes after removal of the test material, the degree of erythema and edema was read according to the Draize technique (recorded as the 4-hour score). Subsequent examinations were made at 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal. The average of the 4, 24, 48, and 72 hour scores was 0. The test article is considered to be nonirritating.
