Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
other: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Remarks:
Test substance is one component of the target (UVCB) substance; it is one of the major components, ranging between 10 - 60 % w/w. Other components show slight differences in terms of position / type of functional groups.
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
Source study has reliability 2. Details on the read across are available in section 13.

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics" of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), 1959.
Compared to the currently accepted OECD guideline 404: duration was 24 h instead of 4 h; no rinse was done; application was also on scarified skin; no 48 h observation was done.
GLP compliance:
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

No signs of irritation were noted on both intact and scarified skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritant according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Not irritant to skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

Method

Skin irritation potential of test substance was assessed by application of 0.5 g under gauze patches to both intact and scarified skin of 6 rabbits. Gauze patches were removed 24 h after application; skin reaction was scored 24 h (upon removal) and 72 h after application.

Results

No signs of skin irritation in terms of oedema and erythema were noted.
