Viability / Mortality

No intercurrent deaths occurred during the course of the study.

 

Clinical Signs

No clinical signs were recorded in any of the animals throughout the complete observation period.

 

Body Weights

The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability for this strain and age.

 

Skin Reactions

Irritation

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was 0.

The application of FAT 40849/A TE to the skin resulted in no signs of irritation as far as the skin reactions were assessable (a possible erythema was not assessable in all three animals at the 1- hour reading after treatment due to marked blue staining produced by the test item.)

 

Coloration

Marked blue staining produced by the test item on the treated skin was observed in all three animals at the 1-hour reading after treatment and persisted as slight 10 (in the male and one female No. 88) to 14 days (female No. 89) after removal of the dressing. The study was closed thereafter.

 

Corrosion

Neither alterations nor corrosive effects were observed on the treated skin.

 

Pathology

Macroscopic Findings

No necropsy was performed at the end of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the referred classification (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008), FAT 40849/A TE does not have to be classified in respect to the skin irritation study in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of FAT 40849/A TE was investigated according to OECD test guideline No. 404 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, B.4. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g to the intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7, 10 and 14 days after removal of the dressing.

 

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was 0.

 

The application of FAT 40849/A TE to the skin resulted in no signs of irritation as far as the skin reactions were assessable (a possible erythema was not assessable in all three animals at the 1- hour reading after treatment due to marked blue staining produced by the test item.)

 

No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed.

 

The test item caused slight to marked blue staining of the treated skin in all animals up to 10 days after removal of the dressing and persisted in one animal up to the last day of observation (test day 15).

 

According to the referred classification (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008), FAT 40849/A TE does not have to be classified in respect to the skin irritation study in rabbits.
