Score:

0

Remarks on result:

other: erythema scores at other time points could not be read because of staining due to the color of the test substance

Irritant / corrosive response data:

All edema scores in all animals at any time point were zero. Erythema scores could not be read due to coloring of the test site. The only readable time points are listed above (score = zero)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Considering the non-observed cutaneous reactions as well as the average score for irritation, the test substance does not give indication of an irritant
property to the skin under the test conditions chosen.

Executive summary:

The potential of the test substance to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 0.5 g of the test substance to the intact skin of 3 White New Zealand rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing. After removal of the patch the application area was washed off. The cutaneous reactions were assessed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch and then in weekly intervals until day 14. Index for erythema could not be read in all animals because of staining due to the color of the test substance. No edema was observed in all animals over the observation period. In two animals evaluation of erythema was applicable 72 hours respectively 14 days after removal of the patch. No erythema was noted. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.0 for edema. Considering the non-observed cutaneous reactions as well as the average score for irritation, the test substance does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin under the test conditions chosen.
