Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg, soaked with 1.5 mL distilled water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal.
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
Hair was clipped on the dorsal area of the trunk one day before the application of the test substance. An electric hair clipper with a 1 mm cutterhead was used. The test site was median on the dorsal thoracal region.
A cellulose patch with 0.5 g of the test substance (actual concentrations: 496, 504 and 498 mg), spread over an area of approximately 6 cm2 and soaked with 1.5 ml distilled water, was applied to the test site and held in place by fixing marginally with non irritating tape. The application site was covered by a dressing. Access by the animal to the application site was prevented by a plastic collar.
The duration of exposure was 4 hours.
At the end of the exposure period the dressing, the tape with the patch and the collar were removed. Residual test substance was wiped off using wet cellulose tissue.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is not classified as irritant.
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied to the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits. The animals were examined for local reactions and for general signs. Methods and investigations were performed according to the OECD Guideline 404 and the EC method B.4.

Only slight erythema were observed in one rabbit at 1 and 24 h p.a. The test substance is not classified as irritant.
