TEST ANIMALS
- Source: New Zealand White rabbits were supplied by Charles River UK Ltd, Margate, Kent, England.
- Age at study initiation: at least 14 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.8 to 3.1 kg
- Housing: The animals were individually housed in stainless steel cages with perforated floors.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to a standard laboratory rabbit diet (Special Diet Services, Stanrab (P) SQC pellet) was allowed throughout the study. Hay three times / week.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to mains drinking water was allowed throughout the study.
- Acclimation period: Twenty days.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 to 21°C
- Humidity (%): 28 to 52%
Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (0700 - 1900 hours) and twelve hours darkness.

Type of coverage:

Preparation of test site:

Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml of the test substance was administered as supplied
Duration of treatment / exposure:

Observation period:

Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
PROCEDURE:
Approximately 24 hours before the test item application, each rabbit was clipped free of hair from the dorso-lumbar region using electric clippers exposing an area of skin approximately 100 mm x 100 mm.

Approximately 0.5 ml of the test item was applied under a 2-ply 25 mm x 25 mm porous gauze pad to one intact skin site on each animal. Each treatment site was covered with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for four hours. The animals were not restrained during the exposure period and were returned to their cages immediately after treatment.

At the end of the exposure period the semi occlusive dressing and gauze were removed from each animal and the treatment site washed with warm water to remove any residual test item. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.

Examination of the treated skin was made approximately 1 hour following removal of the dressings and 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure. Additional observations were made for all animals on Days 5 through to 14. Local dermal irritation was assessed using the numerical system, see any other information on materials and methods

Any other skin reactions if present, were also recorded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Please see attached background information for individual skin reactions.

Severe erythema with slight to moderate oedema and necrotic patches were seen in all three animals. The necrotic patches began sloughing off in two animals on Day 11 revealing new skin underneath. Blanching of the skin and desquamation (characterised by dryness of the skin) were observed in all animals. Reactions gradually ameliorated however very slight to well defined erythema with or without very slight oedema was still evident in all animals at study termination on Day 14.
Other effects:
There were no other signs of toxicity or ill health.
Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A single semi occlusive application of the test substance to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited severe dermal irritation with necrotic patches.
The test item meets the criteria for classification according to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) or the Globally Harmonised Classification System.
Executive summary:

Introduction. 

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:

- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 17 July 1992)

- Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC

- EPA Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.2500 Acute Dermal Irritation EPA 712 -C-98 -196 (August 1998)

Results. 

A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits for four hours elicited severe dermal irritation with necrotic patches.

Conclusion. 

The test item is classified as corrosive according to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) or the Globally Harmonised Classification System.

All animals survived the study period and were free from overt toxic signs.
Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study the test article was considered to be moderatly irritating.
Executive summary:

Introduction

A primary dermal irritation study was performed to evaluate the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. 

Method

The test item was applied to 1 intact test site on each of 6 rabbits and covered with impervious bandages for 4 hours. After which the test sites were wiped clean of residual test material and evaluated for erythema, edema and other lesions at 30 - 60 minutes, at 24, 48 and 72 hours and on days 4 to 7.

Results

Well defined to moderate erythema and slight to moderate edema was observed for all animals. Desquamation was noted at the test sites of 2 animals at 72 hours, 4 animals at Day 4 and 5 and for all animals on Days 6 and 7. Dermal reactions decreased in severity from 24 hours to day 7.

No mortalities occurred during the study and all animals were free of overt signs of toxicity.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
See attached background information.
Other effects:
No mortalities and no abnormal clinical signs were observed during the study.
Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study the test article was considered to be moderatly irritating.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to evaluate the primary eye irritancy potential of the test item. 

Method

After instillation of 0.1ml the test item to the right eye of 6 rabbits the eyes were examined for ocular irritation and lesions at 1 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour , 72 hours and a 7 day interval.

Results

Incidences of redness, chemosis, discharge and iritis were observed together with blistering of the conjuntivae, white discharge, opacities, positive fluorescein staining and pannus. The test article was considered to be moderately irritating.

No mortalities occurred during the study and all animals were free of overt signs of toxicity.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Additional information

Two in vivo dermal irritation studies and one in vivo eye study are available. The most recent in vivo dermal irritation study was considered the most reliable and was used for classification. This study showed the substance to be corrosive. The substance can therefore be considered to lead to serious eye damage.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the criteria for classification and labelling of substances and mixtures (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008), the substance qualifies for classification as Skin Corrosive 1C, H314: Eye Damage 1, H318.
