Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test item did not reveal any remarkable irritation potential on the skin of rabbits, tested in this study according to OECD test guideline no. 404 and GLP conditions.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g mixed with 0.5 ml of purified water to the intact flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 and 10 days after removal of the dressing.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean erythema/eschar score of the three animals was 1.00, 0.67 and 0.00, respectively, and the mean oedema score was 0.00 for each of the three rabbits.

The application of test item to the skin resulted in very slight erythema. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 7 days after treatment. The test item caused a yellow staining of the treated skin which persisted up to 7 days after treatment. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed.

Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin.
