Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test material is classified as irritant to the skin according to the Annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of undiluted test item was applied on an undamaged skin area of the flank of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits. On the other flank an untreated area was served as the control. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 h. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch and observations were continued from Days 7 to 14. Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the cutaneous responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.

 

A moderate erythema associated with a slight to severe oedema was noted on the treated area of the animals 24 hours after the patch removal. The erythematous and oedematous reactions were totally reversible between days 7 and 14. Dryness was noted from days 3 and 7 and was totally reversible on day 14.

The mean scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 3 / 3 / 3 for erythema and 3.3 / 2 / 2.3 for oedema.

Therefore, the test material is classified as irritating to the skin in category 2 according to the Annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.
