Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: GAUKLER ; OFFENBACH (FRG)
- Age at study initiation: no data
- mean weight at study initiation: 2.8 (males) and 2.6 kg (female)
- Housing: singly
- certified diet and tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 8 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL undiluted TS
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour(s)
Observation period:
30-60 minutes after removal of the patches as well as 24, 48 and 72 hours after the beginning of exposure
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
The fur was clipped at least 15 hrs before treatment.
Application: A pad (2.5 x 2.5 cm) soaked with 0.5 ml of undiluted TS was placed to the shaved, intact rabbit's dorsal skin (secured by porous dressing). At the end of the contact period excess test substance was washed off.
Observations, examinations: Skin reactions were examined at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal.
Data evaluation: Skin reactions were scored according to the table of Draize contained in the OECD TG 404.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No skin reaction was noted in any of the animals at any reading, i.e. the score for erythema and edema was 0 at all readings in all animals. Therefore, the mean score was 0 for both erythema and edema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
No skin reaction was noted at any reading 1, 24, 48, or 82 h after semiocclusive dermal exposure to 0.5 mL undiluted test substance for 4 h in any of 3 White Vienna rabbits.
