Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: gauze patches (Pur Zellin-Tupfer, obtained by Fa. Hartmann , A-2355 Wiener Neudorf) in a size of about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm, held in place by fixing them marginally with non irritating tapes (Blenderm ®" surgical tape, hypoallergenic, 3M, Medical Products Division, St. Paul, MN 551444, USA). The application sites were covered semi-occlusively by a dressing (self adhesive non woven fabric, hypoallergenic, made by Beiersdorf AG, D-20245 Hamburg). Access by the animals to the application sites was prevented by a plastic collar.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: none
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hrs


SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema / Eschar formation
0 No erythema.
1 Very slight erythema (barely perceptible).
2 Well-defined erythema.
3 Moderate to severe erythema.
4 Severe erythema (beet redness) or eschar formation (injuries in depth).

Oedema formation
0 No oedema.
1 Very slight oedema (barely perceptible).
2 Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising).
3 Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm).
4 Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

According to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC "RESIN 835 A" does not require classification for skin irritation.

Executive summary:

Methods and investigations were performed in accordance with the OECD Guideline 404 and the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method B.4.

Administration of the test substance

0.5 g "RESIN 835 A", moistened with deionised water, was applied via a patch to a site of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 New Zealand White rabbits and covered by a semi-occlusive dressing.

The duration of the exposure was 4 hours.

Due to a prior performed EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity/Irritation Test (internal study code ACH35/ACH36) no skin corrosion or irritation was observed. Therefore the test substance was administered to the three animals simultaneously.

Investigations

·       Body weights: at the start and at the termination of the test.

·       General signs of toxicity: once daily.

·       Skin examinations: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal (p.a.).

Results

General signs of toxicity

No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Skin examinations

·       Erythema/Eschar: Not observed at any observation point.

·       Oedema: Not observed at any observation point.

Conclusion

The following mean scores were calculated for each animal from the examinations 24 h,
48 h and 72 h p.a.:

	Mean Scores for Animal No.:
	81	82	83
Erythema / Eschar	0.0	0.0	0.0
Oedema	0.0	0.0	0.0

According to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC "RESIN 835 A" does not require classification for skin irritation.
