Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

EU criteria.

Conclusions:

The acute dermal irritation study in New Zealand White rabbits treated with a single administration of test article Fosfomycin PEA salt (0.5 g/animal) has to be considered "non irritant" for the skin.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation study in New Zealand White rabbits treated with a single administration of test article Fosfomycin PEA salt (0.5 g/animal) followed the EU Method B.4 and the OECD Guideline 404. 3 rabbits were used in the study. On the first one the test article was applied for an exposure period of 3 minutes and 1 hour with observation periods of 3 minutes and 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The three rabbits were exposed to the test article for 4 hours and observed at periods of 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The application areas were covered and the adjacent areas of untreated skin of each animal served as control for the test.

No untoward clinical signs or behavioural alterations were observed.

At the application site, no signs dermal irritancy were observed in any treated rabbit.

The test article Fosfomycin PEA salt, when administered by dermal route to rabbits under the experimental conditions adopted, has to be considered "NON IRRITANT" for the skin.
