Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution): undiluted

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

up to 72 hours following patch removal

Number of animals:

3 (1 male, 2 females)

Details on study design:

Approx. 24 hours prior to application of the test article, the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal was clipped free of hair. Each dose sit was approx. 6 cm2. The test article was dosed by volume, 0.5 mL/site and placed over a 2 x 3 cm gauze patch. Gentle pressure was applied to aid in the distribution of the test article over the prepared site. The patch was secured with non-irritating tape. The torsi was covered with a piece of porous dressing (semi-occlusive) large enough to cover the dose site with at least 5 cm square to spare on all sides of the gauze patch. Porous, non-irritating tape was used to encircle the trunk of the animal. The test substance was kept in contact with the skin for 4 hours at which the wrappings and patches were removed. Residual test article was removed from the test site by gently washing with distilled water at the end of the exposure period, prior to scoring for dermal reactions.
The test sites were scored for dermal irritation at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours following patch removal. Erythema and oedema were scored according to the numerical Draize technique. The skin was also evaluated for ulceration and necrosis or any evidence of tissue destruction.
Body weights were recorded pre-test and at termination. Animals were observed for mortality, toxicological and pharmacological effects at each dermal observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In an OECD guideline 404 study conducted in compliance with GLP, the test substance was not irritating to the skin.

Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study performed in accordance with GLP and OECD guideline 404 three New Zealand White rabbits were exposed semi-occlusive to the test substance. After 4 hours of exposure the test article was removed and the skin was examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after termination of exposure. No erythema or oedema was noted at any observation period. No abnormal physical signs were observed. All three animals experienced body weight gain. The test substance was found not to be skin irritant when applied topically to the rabbit.
