REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Erythema:
No erythema -> 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) ->1
Slight erythema (perceptible) -> 2
Moderate to severe erythema -> 3
Severe erythema with eschar formation:
* slight -> 4
* extended (more than 50% of the surface of application) -> 8

- Oedema Formation:
No oedema -> 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) -> 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) -> 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm) -> 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) -> 4

- Primary Dermal Irritation Index = (Sum of individual Erythema scores + Sum of individual Edema scores) / 16

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Terbium trinitrate was a slighty irritant for the skin but it was not classified for skin irritation.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, 4 New Zealand rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of terbium trinitrate applied on a disc of 3 cm diameter maintened under semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Animals were then observed for up to 72 hours. Irritation was scored after 25 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing by calculating dermal irritation scores, based on the grading of cutaneous erythema and edema.

Very slight to slight erythema and/or none to slight oedema were observed.

Terbium trinitrate was a slighty irritant for the skin but it was not classified for skin irritation.
