Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
New Zealand White rabbits (weight range 3.4-4.1 kg).

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: Clipping
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
30 minutes after patch removal and on days 2 to 9.
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
A 4 hour semi-occlusive application of pure test material was made to clipped skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. The treatment site was washed at patch removal. Reactions were graded 30 minutes after patch removal and on days 2 to 9. Observations for signs of toxicity were also conducted.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight to well-defined erythema was seen in 1 rabbit days 1-8 and very slight erythema was seen in 1 rabbit days 1-4, which persisted for a further two to six days before resolving by days 9 or 5. No reaction was seen in the third rabbit following the removal of the dressings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance does not require labelling with the risk phrase R38 "Irritating to the skin," as described in the EEC Directive 83/467/EEC, Annex VI, Part II(D) or the H-statement H315 “Causes skin irritation” according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Very slight erythema only was evident in two animals following the removal of the dressings on days 1 and 2. Similar reactions (very slight or well-defined erythema) persisted for a further two to six days before resolving by days 5 or 9. There was no response to treatment in the remaining animal throughout the observation period. A single semi-occlusive application of the test substance to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited transient slight dermal irritation, but not sufficient that labelling is required with the risk phrase R38 "Irritating to the skin," or H-statement H315 “Causes skin irritation”.
