Duration of treatment / exposure:
Three Chbb: NZW (SPF) rabbits were dosed with 0.5 gm of Diethyl ester dimethyl ammonium chloride (DEEDMAC, E-4429.01). The test article was applied moistened with tap water to approximately 6 cm2 of the intact skin of the clipped area. It was covered with a 3.0 cm X 3.0 cm patch of surgical gauze. The gauze was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The duration of treatment was 4 hours. Then the dressing was removed and the skin was flushed with lukewarm-tap water. The skin reaction was assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test article.
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test article.
Number of animals:
3 animals (one male and two females)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Approximately 6 cm2
- % coverage: Covered with a 3.0 cm X 3.0 cm patch of surgical gauze
- Type of wrap if used: The gauze was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with an elastic bandage


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Skin was flushed with lukewarm-tap water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours


SCORING SYSTEM: Erythema and escher scoring from0-4 with 0 = no erythema, 1= very slight erythema, 2 = well defined erythema, 3 = moderate to severe erythema, 4 = severe erythema to slight eschar formation.
Oedema scoring from0-4 with 0 = no oedema, 1= very slight oedema, 2 = slight oedema, 3 = moderate oedema, 4 = severe oedema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. is slightly irritating to the skin of rabbits. The mean grades of skin reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h reading correspond to values classified as not irritant by theDirective 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study comparable to OECD guideline 404, 12 May 1981, three White New Zealand rabbits were dermaly exposed to 0,5 g  of MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. undiluted for 4 hours to an intact area of approximately 6 cm² covered by a semi-occlusive dressing. Animals then were observed for 3 days.  Irritation was scored by the method of Draize 1;  24; 48 and 72 hours after exposure.

Very slight erythema was observed 1 h after exposure in one animal and in 2/3 animals at the 24 hour reading and was reversible within 48 hours after exposure. No oedema was observed.

The mean grades of skin reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h reading correspond to values classified as not irritant by the Directive 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.

When applied to the skin, the test article MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. is classified as "not irritant" in this study.
