Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (corrosive)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be corrosive when applied undiluted to intact skin of rabbits for either 3 minutes or one hour under semiocclusive conditions.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated similar to OECD test guideline no 404 using shorter exposure periods as described for potentially corrosive matter.

The test item (0.5 mL) was applied to the intact skin of one New Zealand White rabbit under semiocclusive conditions for either 3 minutes or one hour. The scoring of skin reactions was performed at 24, 48 and 72 hours.

Skin reactions observed after 3 minutes of exposure already revealed necrotic effects within the full thickness of skin. Moreover mean (i.e. 24 -48 -72 h reading times) erythema score of 4 (i.e. maximal possible score) as well as a mean edema score of 1 was reported. After 1 hour exposure necrosis was observed, too. Mean erythema score of 4.0 and mean edema score of 2.0 was reported. All of the described effects were not reversible within 72 hours. Due to the severity of effects and irreversibility seen the test item was regarded as corrosive to skin of rabbits.
