Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test substance did not elicit any skin reactions when applied to intact skin. All scores in all animals at any time point were zero. Minimal dermal reactions were observed when applied to scarified skin, reversible within 7 days the latest (see table 1 "Any other information on results incl. tables").

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance has no potency as an irritant to skin, under the test conditions used.

Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study the test item in propylene glycol and saline (70:30) was applied by topical occlusive application to the back of three male and three female adult New Zealand White rabbits. One side of the shaven back was slightly scarified and Gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with 0.5 g of the test material were applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin. The dressings were removed after a 24 hour application and the skin reaction was appraised at 24, 48, 72 h and after 4 and 7 days on the basis of the Draize soring scheme. To classify the irritating property of the test article, the mean values of erythema and edema formation were calculated for each individual, using the scores between 24 and 72 hours. All scores recorded for the intact skin were zero at any time point in all animals. Minimal dermal reactions were observed when applied to scarified skin, reversible within 7 days the latest. Thus, the test item did not induce significant irreversible damage to the skin and is therefore not regarded as a skin irritant.
