Irritant / corrosive response data:
All animals showed very slight erythema/eschar at the 3-4 hrs observation. This persisted in all animals until at least day 10, with some animals showing an increase to a score of 2. The erythema/eschar did not resolve in two of the animals by the end of the experiment at day 21. Two animals showed very slight edema at the .75 hr observation, with all animals showing this at the 24 hr observation. The edema symptoms did not worsen, and resolved in all animals by day 21.
Other effects:
No other effects were seen in any animal at any observation.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
The average erythema score was calculated using the scores from the 24, 48, and 72 hr observations was 1.22 and the average edema score was calculated as 1.0. Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested C9-C14 aliphatic solvents (2-25% aromatics) based on analogue read across.

This study examined the skin irritancy of MR Solvent to rabbit skin. 3 male and 3 female rabbits were exposed dermally to 0.5 ml of test substance for 4 hrs. Test substance was applied to a clipped dorsal area and the area occluded. After 4 hrs, the test areas were washed with tap water. Once the test substance was removed, the animals were scored for skin irritation. Additional observations were made at 24, 48, and 72 hrs, and 7, 10, 14, 17, and 21 days after removal. Animals exhibited very slight erythema and edema (score of 1) beginning at the first observation. By the 24 hr observation, some of the erythema scores had risen to 2, which reversed by day 10. All edema symptoms had resolved by day 21, however, two animals still had very slight redness on day 21. No other signs of skin irritation were seen. The average erythema score was calculated using the scores from the 24, 48, and 72 hr observations was 1.22 and the average edema score was calculated as 1.0. Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: control area on each test animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hrs
Observation period:
21 days
Number of animals:
6 - 3 males, 3 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: An 8 x 8 cm dorsal area of the trunk was clipped. Part of this area was used as a control.
