Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Method according to the official journal of French Republic (Offical Journal of 21 february 1982)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
powder not moistened; but as skin was scarified we may expect that it was self-moistened. No reading at 48h, but readings at 24+72h consistent. Study stopped at 72h, but reactions were slight and started to reverse.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
This method is used to evaluate the index of Primary Irritation induced by a test article, after a single application
Any substance provoking after a single applciation an orthoergic inflammatory cutaneous reaction appearing within 24 hours on the application site is designated as a Primary irritant.
GLP compliance:
no

Remarks:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The maximum score at each reading time for all animals and areas (normal and scarified), is 1 for erythema and 0 for edema.
Effects generally show a tendecy to recovery (score 0) at 72h: 5/6 non-scarified areas and 2/6 scarified areas.
No desquamation and skin flexibility alteration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test item is not classified according to CLP regulation and GHS
Executive summary:

According to non-GLP study following a national protocol, slight irritation is observed with a tendency to reversibility at 72h.

GHS and CLP classification is not warranted.
