Four-hour Exposure
Well-defined erythema and moderate oedema , with slight haemorrhage of the dermal capillaries was noted at all test sites one hour after removal of the patches. Light-brown coloured slight eschar surrounded by moderate erythema, with slight to severe oedema were noted at subsequent 24, 48 and 72-hour observations. The eschar persisted at two test sites on day seven with or without desquamation. The skin at the remaining test site was shiny and pink-coloured with continued desquamation, The shiny, pink-coloured skin was noted at all test sites on day fourteen. Desquamation and abnormal fur growth persisted at two test sites on day fourteen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Maximum irritation with eschar and desquamation were observed which was not reversible within the 14 days observation period, but with signs of skin repair. Although there was no actual necrosis reported, classification as corrosive is prudent.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the effects of Amine 760 on the irritancy potential to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used was based on that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion".

A three minute, 1 hour and 4 hours, semi-occluded dermal application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits followed by a decontamination procedure with acetone produced irritation scores directly after patch removal and 1,2 and 3 days afterwards.

Results: Maximum scores for erythema were observed in all animals during first 3 days and in two animals accompanied by eschar formation even until day 7, with desquamation in all three animals. At end of observation period on day 14, all animals show pink and shiny skin and in two animals desquamation is still visible. Although the report indicate no visible necrosis, the seriousness of the effects, only partial recovery, and pink shiny colouration indicative of skin recovery after damage, it is probably prudent to classify as corrosive.
