Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Jan to Feb 1996
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions: A combined study on acute dermal toxicity and on local tolerance was used to assess skin irritation/corrosion. The study design and reporting deviates from the current OECD TG 404, however, the study is considered sufficient for assessment of this endpoint.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

A single dermal administration of the test substance for 24 hours to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg (192 -236 mg/male and 190 -194 mg/female applied as a paste) was tolerated without any local irritations. The mean values of findings relevant for classification (reddening, scab formation and swelling of the skin) at the time-points 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of administration were 0.
