Details on study design:

TEST SITE
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal fur was clipped with electric clippers, exposing an area of approximately 150 square centimeters (10x15 cm²). Whenever considered necessary the treated skin areas were re-clipped at least 3 hours before the observations, to facilitate scoring. Each animal was treated by dermal application of 0.5 grams of the test substance. The test substance was moistened with 0.5 ml of the vehicle and applied to the skin of one flank, using a metalline patch# of 2x3 cm. The patch was mounted on Micropore tape, which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Yes, with water
- Time after start of exposure: 4h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality/Moribundity checks: Twice daily
Body weights: Day of treatment (prior to application).
Clinical signs: At least once daily.
The skin reactions were assessed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressings and test substance.

SCORING SYSTEM: According to guideline

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

A primary skin irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 in the rabbit (4-hour semi-occlusive application, 3 males) was conducted according to OECD 404 and GLP guidelines. SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.

Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 was performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in accordance with GLP principles.Three male rabbits were exposed to 0.5 grams of SPS-100, applied onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure. No skin irritation was caused by 4 hours exposure to SPS-100. Based on the results, SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
