24 h exposure: mean erythema 3.67 / mean oedema 3.67
Other effects:
At time point 24 h and 48 h after removal of patches green and brown colouration of each site appeared. These zones were surrounded with an erythemateous zone.
At time point 72h the additinally skin suppleness decreased and necrosis was noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is corrosive to the skin. Necrosis, destruction of the skin appeared later than 48h observation.
CPL Classification Category 1B is proposed
Executive summary:

Primary dermal irritation study was performed with MXDA/SM Adduct in accordance with OECD guideline No. 404 (1981).

The test substancewas applied to three different sites topically dermal (approximately 6 cm2) on the back of the one New Zealand White rabbit for 3 minutes (one patch), 1 hour (second patch) and 4 hours (third patch) of exposure. After completion of the exposure period the treated areas were observed after 1h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post exposure.

Moderate to severe erythema (Score 3 -4) and odema (Score 3-4) were noted at all three application sites after 24 until 72 h post exposure. At time point 24 h and 48 h after removal of patches green and brown colouration of each site appeared. These zones were surrounded with an erythemateous zone. At time point 72h the additinally skin suppleness decreased and necrosis was noted.

Based on the result above, the test material was decided to be a corrosive material.
