Conclusions:
Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59EC of August 2001), Dihydro-C14-Aldehyde is considered to be
"not irritating" to rabbit skin
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of Dihydro-C14 -aldehyde was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 ml to the intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7, 10 and 14 days after removal of the dressing.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, seperately. The mean erythema/eschar score of the three animals was 1.33, 2.67 and 1.33, respectively and the mean oedema score was 0.33, 2.00 and 0.67, respectively.

The application of Dihydro-C14 -aldehyde to the skin resulted in mild to moderate, earlyonset and transient signs of irritation such as erythema, oedema and scaling. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 14 days after tretment, the end of the observation period for all animals. The test item caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed. Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin.

Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59EC of August 2001), Dihydro-C14-Aldehyde is

considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
