Skin irritation / corrosion

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin irritation: in vivo

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2006-08-31 to 2006-10-17

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

GLP study performed according to OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) and EU method B.4 (Acute Toxicity: Dermal Irritation/Corrosion) with one deviation: the test substance was put on a surgical patch of approximately 4 cm X 4 cm (instead of 6 cm2) to ensure good contact and uniform distribution of test substance on the skin. This deviation, however, did not affect the validity of this study.

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The left flank was clipped with an electric clipper, exposing an area of approximately 100 cm2 (10cm x 10 cm). The test substance was placed on a surgical gauze patch (4 cm X 4 cm) and applied to the intact skin of the clipped area.
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap if used: The surgical gauze patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with tape.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours


SCORING SYSTEM:
- Skin reactions were assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the Commission Directive 2004/73/EC, April 29, 2004.

Results and discussion

Results

Irritation parameter:

overall irritation score

Basis:

mean

Time point:

other: 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours

Score:

0

Max. score:

4

Reversibility:

other: not applicable

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test substance 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 erythemal eschar and edema for each of the three animals was therefore 0. Neither alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

Other effects:

During the study, no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals and no mortality occurred. No staining of the treated skin was observed. The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.
