Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

bi-distilled

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 grams/animal, as delivered by the sponsor
- The test material was moistened with approximately 0.1 ml of bi-distilled water before application.
- Prior to the application the pH of the test item was determined at a concentration of 1% in water with PH-Test-Strip (E. Merck, D64271 Darmstadt, Germany) and was found to be 3-4.

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): approximately 0.1 ml
- Lot/batch no. (if required): no data
- Purity: no data

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

72 hours

Number of animals:

1 male and 2 females

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² of the clipped flank
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap if used: the gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing, wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, July 31, 1992 approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze ppatch and test item.
- If evident, corrosive or staining properties of the test item were described and recorded.
- The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. An animal is positive when the mean score is 2 or greater. The test is positive for irritation when at least 2 animals are positive for the same endpoint (erythema/eschar or oedema).

Irritant / corrosive response data:

- Irritation: the test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0.
- Corrosion: no irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

Other effects:

- no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred
- no staining by the test item of treated skin was observed.
- animal number 91 showed a slight body weight loss (9.6%) during the observation period. The reason for this weight loss could not be established due to the short duration of the study. The body weights of all other rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

T002113 is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin. According to the CLP regulation, the test item should not be classified.
