Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: David Percival Ltd., Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, U.K.
- Age at study initiation: twelve to sixteen weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.26 - 2.34 kg
- Housing: individual housing in suspended metal cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to food (Spillers Rabbit Diet, Dalgety Agriculture Ltd., Almondsbury, Bristol) was allowed throughout the study.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): free access to drinking water and food was allowed throughout the study.
- Acclimation period: five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 - 22°C
- Humidity (%): 41 - 43%
- Air changes (per hr): approximately 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light and 12 hours darkness

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5g of the test material, moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water
- Concentration (if solution): not specified
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
24, 48 and 72h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch on the shorn skin
- Type of wrap if used: strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximate size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h after application

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
- Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Scale from Draize J.H. (1959) Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics"
- Method of calculation: The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72-hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by 6 to give the primary irritation index of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The 2-(Naphthalen-2-sulfonylamino)benzoic acid did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EC labelling regulations and was classified as NON-IRRITANT to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of 2-(Naphthalen-2-sulfonylamino)benzoic acid following a single, 4-hour, semi-occluded application on New Zealand White rabbit following OECD guideline number 204 of 1981. 2-(Naphthalen-2 -sulfonylamino)benzoic acid did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EC labelling regulations and was classified as NON-IRRITANT to rabbit skin.
