Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating according to EU CLP classification
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material application produced a primary irritation index of 3.42 calculated according to US EPA FIFRA guidelines, and mean scores of 1.9 for erythema/eschar formation and 1.1 for edema according to EU labelling restrictions. Compound-induced corrosion was not reported.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, 5 male and 1 female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 millilitre of Gulftene 8 for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days and irritation was scored by the Draize method.

 

The test material application produced a primary irritation index of 3.42 calculated according to US EPA FIFRA guidelines, and mean scores of 1.9 for erythema/eschar formation and 1.1 for edema according to EU labelling restrictions. Compound-induced corrosion was not reported. 

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was carried out according to Guidelines (EPA 798.4470, OECD 404, 92/69/EEC B.4 and MAFF 59 NohSan No. 4200) and was GLP compliant.
