- Water: provided ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least fourteen weeks prior to the start of the study

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (deg C): 16 to 20 deg C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): not applicable
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to give 12 hours of artificial light (06:00 to 18:00 GMT) in each 24 hour period.

IN-LIFE DATES
- From: 2006-11-28 to 2006-12-19

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
abraded
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
- Concentration (if solution): no data

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): no data
- Concentration (if solution): The treatment site was ‘wetted’ with 0.5mL of reverse osmosis water.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): no data
- Purity: no data
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single four hour dermal administration
Observation period:
Examination of the treated skin was made on removal of the dressings (for 3 minute or one hour exposures) and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later.
Number of animals:
three
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorso-lumbar region
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap if used: approximately 0.5 g of the test substance was applied under a 2-ply 25 mm x 25 mm porous gauze pad secured with ‘blenderm’ surgical tape to intact skin sites on three animals.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: animals were washed with lukewarm water (30-40 deg C) to remove any residual test substance. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.
- Time after start of exposure: after 3 minutes or one hour exposures.

SCORING SYSTEM
- At 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, erythema/eschar, oedema and the Primary Irritation Index (PII) and Classification were scored according to the Draize.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Other effects:
There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.1; VRT-126016 was classified as ‘mildly irritating’ according to the criteria of the ECETOC and did not require labelling with the risk phrase R38, “Irritating to skin,” in accordance with Commission Directive 2001/59/EC.
