Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
From the experimental results, it is concluded that Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS no: 127-68-4)was not irritating to the skin of white Vienna rabbits.
Executive summary:

A Draize Test was carried out for chemical Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS no: 127-68-4) on skin of six white Vienna rabbits in accordance with OECD test guideline 404.

The chemical was applied to the intact or abraded skin of each rabbit at a dose of 50% of Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulphonate in water for 24 hours under occlusive condition.

After the application time, the skin was washed with water which may have contained a mild detergent. Animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were observed on working days. Findings were recorded after 24, 72 hours and at the end of the observation period. Findings were graded as described in OECD test guideline 404.

The chemical caused slight erythema and edema which were fully reversible within 8 days.

Since the observed effects were not persisted during the observed period, the chemical Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS no: 127-68-4) was considered as not irritating to the skin of white Vienna rabbits.
