Test system

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Preparation of test site:

other: shaved and abraded.

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Application: gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with test substance.
- Amount of test substance: 0.5 ml.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

The dressing were removed after a 24 hours exposure.

Observation period:

7 days

Number of animals:

3 male and 3 female.

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: before treatment the entire back and the flank of the rabbits were shaved with an electric clipper and immediately before treatment the shaven skin on one side was slightly scarified with the help of a "SchröpfSchnäpper", Aesculap, Switzerland.
- Type of wrap if used: the patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

SCORING SYSTEM
The skin reaction was appraised upon removal and during an observation period of 7 days on the basis of the following evaluation scheme.

Erythema and Eschar Formation
No erythema: 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible): 1
Well defined erythema: 2
Moderate to severe erythema: 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth): 4
Maximum possible erythema score: 4

Edema Formation
No edema: 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible): 1
Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising): 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm): 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure): 4
Maximum possible erythema score: 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information according to the CLP Regulation Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Non irritating.

Executive summary:

Method

The test was conducted following the procedures described in the Proposed Guidelines of the United States Environmental Agency (EPA) § 163.81 -5 "Primary dermal irritation study", Federal Register, Vol. 43, No. 163, August 22, 1978.

Results

Test substance was found to cause a minimal irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin.

Conclusion

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), test substance can be classified as non irritating. The mean value scored is less than 2.3 for erythema/eschar and for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, in both the cases of intact and abraded skin.
