TEST SITE
500 mg of the test item was mixed with some drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards the test material was spread onto 6 cm2 patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits. The patch was fastened to the left side of the animal's back and kept in place by a self-adhesive fabric (Fixomull® stretch, Beiersdorf). According to the result of a pretest (HET-CAM), which revealed no irritating potential, the animal study was started with three animals.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After 4 hours exposure the patches were removed and any test material left was wiped off.

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
The rabbits were investigated for skin alterations, behaviour, and general condition 1 hour after removal of the patches, after 24, 48 and 72 hrs, and then daily up to study day 8.
Body weight was recorded on days 1, 5 and 8.

SCORING SYSTEM
Skin changes at the application site were evaluated according to the DRAIZE and OECD recommendations.

Study design

To test for primary skin irritation, 500 mg of the test item was mixed with some drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards the test material was spread onto 6 cm2 patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. According to the result of a pretest, the animal study was started with three animals. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Then, examinations were performed daily for a further 7 days.

Results

Under the conditions of the present study no signs of irritation were seen (mean scores of 0 at all time points).

Conclusion

No skin irritating potential could be detected. Therefore the test item has not be classified as a skin irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No skin irritating potential could be detected.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and methods applied are fully compliant with OECD GL 404. For the test item no skin irritating potential could be detected.
