Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

One New Zealand White (Hsdlf:NZW) strain rabbit was supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Leicestershire, UK. At the start of the study the animal weighed 3.23 kg and was 12 to 52 weeks old. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animal was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker pen on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.

Animal Care and Husbandry
The animal was housed in a suspended cage. Free access to mains drinking water and food (2930C Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet and drinking water were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 17 to 23 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.

The animal was provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Amount / concentration applied:

On the day before the test the rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers.
Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 mL of the test item was applied directly to the skin under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset for the duration of the exposure period.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. Any residual test item was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirits.
After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, no additional animals were treated.

Observation period:

14 days

Number of animals:

One

Details on study design:

One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. Any residual test item was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirits.

If irreversible alteration of the dermal tissue is noted in any rabbit, as judged by the Study Director, which include ulceration and clear necrosis or signs of scar tissue, the test item is classified as corrosive to rabbit skin. Classification according to Draize may, therefore, not be applicable.
The results were also evaluated according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

3-Minute Exposure Period
Well-defined erythema and very slight edema were noted at the treated skin site at the 24 Hour observation with well defined erythema and slight edema noted at the 48 Hour observation and well defined erythema and very slight edema noted at the 72 Hour observation. Slight desquamation was noted at the treated skin site at the 7 Day observation.

The treated skin site appeared normal at the 14-Day observation.

1-Hour Exposure Period
Very slight erythema and very slight edema were noted at the treated skin site immediately and 1 hour after treatment. Well defined erythema and slight edema were noted at the treated skin site at the 24 Hour observation with well defined erythema and very slight edema noted at the 48 and 72 Hour observations. The erythema and edema extended approximately 10 mm around the test site at the 24, 48 and 72 Hour observations.

Additional skin reactions noted at the treated skin site at the 24, 48 and 72 Hour observations were hemorrhage of the dermal capillaries, blanching of the skin, light brown discoloration of the epidermis and loss of skin elasticity and flexibility. A hardened dark brown/black colored scab, preventing accurate evaluation of erythema and edema, was noted at the treated skin site at the 7 Day observation. Small superficial scattered scabs and glossy skin were noted at the treated skin site at the 14 Day observation.

4-Hour Exposure Period
Very slight erythema and slight edema were noted at the treated skin site immediately after patch removal with well defined erythema and slight edema noted 1 hour after treatment. Well defined erythema and moderate edema were noted at the treated skin site at the 24 Hour observation with well defined erythema and slight edema noted at the 48 and 72 Hour observations. The erythema and edema extended approximately 10 mm around the test site at the 24 Hour observation.

Additional skin reactions noted at the treated skin site at the 24, 48 and 72 Hour observations were hemorrhage of the dermal capillaries, blanching of the skin, light brown discoloration of the epidermis and loss of skin elasticity and flexibility. A hardened dark brown/black colored scab, preventing accurate evaluation of erythema and edema, was noted at the treated skin site at the 7 Day observation. Small superficial scattered scabs, scar tissue and glossy skin were noted at the treated skin site at the 14 Day observation.

The skin reactions noted were considered to be irreversible and indicative of full thickness tissue destruction.

Other effects:

The animal showed expected gain in body weight during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item was classified as CORROSIVE to rabbit skin (based on one animal only).

The test item was also classified as Category 1C (Corrosive) according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

The test item was also classified as Corrosive (Category 1C) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures. It is reasonable to assume that the signal word “Danger” and the Hazard Statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” are therefore required.

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item following single, 3‑Minute, 1 and 4‑Hour, semi‑occluded applications to the intact rabbit skin.

Results

A single 3‑Minute semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced well-defined erythema, slight edema and slight desquamation. The treated skin site appeared normal at the 14‑Day observation.

A single 1‑Hour semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced well‑defined erythema, slight edema, hemorrhage of the dermal capillaries, blanching of the skin, light brown discoloration of the epidermis, loss of skin elasticity and flexibility, small superficial scattered scabs, a hardened dark brown/black colored scab (preventing evaluation of erythema and edema) and glossy skin. On occasions the erythematous and edematous reactions extended approximately 10 mm beyond the treatment site.

A single 4‑Hour, semi occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced reactions indicative of dermal corrosion. The reactions included well‑defined erythema, moderate edema, hemorrhage of the dermal capillaries, blanching of the skin, light brown discoloration of the epidermis, loss of skin elasticity and flexibility, a hardened dark brown/black colored scab (preventing evaluation of erythema and edema), small superficial scattered scabs, scar tissue and glossy skin. On occasions the erythematous and edematous reactions extended approximately 10 mm beyond the treatment site.The skin reactions noted were considered to be irreversible and indicative of full thickness tissue destruction.

Conclusion

The test item was classified as CORROSIVE to rabbit skin (based on one animal only).

The test item was also classified as Category 1C (Corrosive) according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

The test item was also classified as Corrosive (Category 1C) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures. It is reasonable to assume that the signal word “Danger” and the Hazard Statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” are therefore required.
