Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 1.00, 2.00, 2.00 and 1.00, 1.33, 1.67, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively.
Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Mild Skin Irritant to the skin of Male New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested.
Executive summary:

Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of test chemical in Rabbits was performed as per the OECD guideline No. 404.Three healthy young adult male rabbits were used for conducting acute dermal irritation study. The hair of all the rabbits were clipped at contralateral sites, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A volume of 0.5 ml of test item (as such) was applied to the skin, over an area of approximately 6 x 6 cm clipped of hair on one side of rabbits. The other untreated side was kept as control area and0.5 ml of distilled water was applied at this site. At the end of 4 hours, the gauze patch was removed and test item application site was wiped with cotton soaked in distilled water without altering the integrity of the epidermis. Initially, the test item was applied to the clipped area of skin of one rabbit. The test site was covered with gauze patch.

At 1 hour observation animal no. 1 revealed no erythema and no oedema. At 24 hour observation very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) was observed. After 24 hours no severe skin lesions were observed hence a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (No. 2 and 3) to confirm the irritant nature of the test item. At 48 and 72 hour observation, very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) was observed. Animal no.1 was recovered to normal on day 7.Animal no. 2 and 3 revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and very slight oedema (barely perceptible)at 1 hour observation. At 24 hour observation animal no. 2 and 3 revealed well defined erythema and very slight oedema (barely perceptible).At 48 hour observation animal no. 2 and 3 revealed well defined erythema and slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising). At 72 hour observation, animal no. 2 revealed well defined erythema and very slight oedema (barely perceptible) and animal no. 3revealedwell defined erythema and slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising). Animal no.2 and 3recovered to normal on day 7. The patch was removed after 4 hours and rabbits were observed for erythema and oedema at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and on day 7 post patch removal, evaluated and graded as per draize method.

The individual mean score at24, 48 and 72 hours for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 1.00, 2.00, 2.00 and 1.00, 1.33, 1.67, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively.  Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical is Mild Skin Irritant to the skin of Male New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested.
