Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:

other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
This study was conducted in accordance with a recognized scientific procedure for analyzing the primary dermal irritation of a test material in experimental animals. However, the test material was a solid and was not pre-moistened. The test was performed on a 40% formulation. Study details were sufficient to support the conclusions in the report regarding the dermal irritation toxicity of the formulated test material. However, they are not sufficient to identify the dermal irritation potential of the more pure form of Bis (t-butyl peroxyisopropyl) benzene.

Any other information on results incl. tables

MEASURED ENDPOINT/INDEX (i.e. LD50, PII): Test material
produced very slight erythema and was not considered a
primary dermal irritation.

There was not dermal irritation after 4 hours of contact.
After 28 hours there was very slight erythema (grade 1) on abraded sites, but cleared by 52 hours. There was no edema
and no irritation observed on intact skin sites.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU directive 67/548/EEC and EU Regulation (EC) N0. 1272/2008 (CLP):
Conclusions:
Test material is not considered as a primary dermal irritant.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation of the peroxide was evaluated in rabbits according to OECD 404 guideline.

The substance was applied undiluted and not pre-moistened to the skin of 6 New-Zealand White albino rabbits and held in contact for 4 hours by means of an occlusive dressing.

No irritation was observed.

Under the experimental conditions,the substance was considered as non irritant when applied topically in rabits.
