Irritant / corrosive response data:
Skin alterations:
Single application of 0.5 g test item to the intact dorsal skin of rabbits, after a 4 hour period of exposure under occlusive conditions, led to severe skin irritation. Erythema (score 1 or 2) from day 1 until day 6 of the study was seen. Edema (score 1 - 3) was observed from day 1 up to day 8 of the study. Erythema and edema were followed by necrosis, large scales (as indicated by score 4), and small scales, which are indicative of corrosivity of the test material.
The cumulative mean scores for erythema and edema were:
Day 1 : 1.9
Day 2 : 2.2
Day 3 : 1.8
Though the cumulative scores for erythema and edema for days 1, 2, and 3 were not indicative of serious effects attention must be given to the corrosive effects.
Other effects:
Signs of systemic toxicity, body weight, mortality:
No signs of systemic toxicity were detected. The body weight development corresponded to that of untreated rabbits of the same age. All rabbits survived the 15 day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test material produced corrosive effects on contaminated skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated by topical application of 0.5 g to skin of the back and sides of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits in a OECD 404 study. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1 hour after removal of the dressing and afterwards daily for 14 days. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion. In the primary skin irritation test slight and well-defined erythema (score 1 or 2) and edema were observed on the first days after application, and were followed by necrosis, large scales, and small scales later on, indicating corrosivity of the test material. Though the cumulative mean scores for erythema and edema for days 1, 2, and 3 were not indicative of serious effects, the test material produced corrosive effects on skin contaminated under conditions comparable to those of this test.
