Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Test system

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Preparation of test site:

other: two test sites per animal. Skin on one test site was abraded, and was left intact on the other test site.

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not specified

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hours

Observation period:

72 hours

Number of animals:

6

Details on study design:

Six (6) New Zealand white rabbits each received a single dermal application of 0.5 milliliter of the test article on two test sites, one abraded and one intact. The test sites were occluded for 214 hours and were observed individually for erythema, edema, and other effects 24 and 72 hours after application. Mean scores from the 214 and 72 hour. readings were averaged to determine the primary irritation index. The test article was used as received.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results

Irritation parameter:

primary dermal irritation index (PDII)

Basis:

mean

Time point:

24/48/72 h

Score:

1.48

Reversibility:

fully reversible within: 72 hours

Irritant / corrosive response data:

This test article is not a primary dermal irritant to rabbits under conditions of this test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The primary dermal irritation index score was determined to be 1.48 after 72 hours unde the conditions of the test.

Executive summary:

In this guideline equivalent study ( EPA OPP 81 -5) and prior to the adoption of OECD principles of GLP, the test material (EC 205-363-0) induced a primary dermal irritation score of 1.48. The study was conducted in 6 New Zealand White rabbits across the 24, 48, & 72 hour observation periods. The test material was exposed to the test animals (intact skin and abbraded skin, 24 hours) under occlusive conditions. The result of the test is not sufficient to meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant under the criteria of the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
