Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
was moistened with distilled water
Controls:
other: untreated skin of each animal was used for comparison.
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg (0.5 g)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
approximately 24, 48, and 72 hour
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6.25 cm2

- Type of wrap if used:
The area of application was covered with a 2.5-cm x 2.5-cm gauze patch secured with paper tape, loosely overwrapped with Saran Wrap®, and secured with Elastoplast® tape to provide a semiocclusive dressing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

The test sites were washed using tap water and disposable paper towels. The test material was removed from the test sites as thoroughly as possible without irritating the skin.

- Time after start of exposure:
At the end of the 4-hour exposure period

SCORING SYSTEM:
based on the Draize scoring system

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Application of N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) to the skin of rabbits under 4-hour semioccluded conditions resulted in only a very slight erythema reaction in one animal. No other dermal irritation was observed. The average of the 4-, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour scores is 0.04 (considered to be slightly irritating). All irritation cleared by the 48-hour observation.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to assess the relative level of primary dermal skin irritation of a test material on rabbits under semioccluded conditions. The study was conducted according to EPA guidelines: EPA OTS 798.4470 (Acute Dermal Irritation)

The primary dermal irritation potential of N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) was evaluated in rabbits under 4-hour semioccluded conditions. The test material produced only a very slight erythema reaction in one animal. No other dermal irritation was observed The average of the 4-, 24-, 48- and 72-hour index scores is 0.04 (considered to be slightly irritating). All irritation cleared by the 48-hour observation.
