clipped
Vehicle:
other: 0.5 % methylcellulose
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.5 g (neat test material)

VEHICLE
- Amount applied: 0.7 mL
- Concentration: 0.5 % methylcellulose
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
Three rabbits, two males and one female.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: An area approximately 10 cm x 10 cm of the back of each rabbit.
- Type of wrap if use: The test site was covered with a gauze patch (approximately 6 cm²) with cotton backing. The gauze patch was held in place with an elastic rabbit jacket.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The back of each rabbit was wiped with a damp disposable towel to remove any residual test substance.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours.

SCORING SYSTEM
The application sites were graded for erythema and oedema within thirty minutes, and 24, 48 and 72 hours after test material removal.

BODY WEIGHTS
Animals were weighed on the day of treatment, and at study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, application of the test material resulted in no irritation in any of the rabbits, and had no effect on body weights.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation potential of the test material was determined in a GLP study conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 404, EPA OPPTS 870.2500, EU Method B.4, and Japan MAFF Primary Dermal Irritation Study, 1985.

Aliquots of 0.5 g of the neat test material, moistened with 0.7 mL of 0.5 % methylcellulose, were applied for four hours to the intact skin on the back of three New Zealand White rabbits.

Under the conditions of the test, application of the test material resulted in no irritation in any of the rabbits, and had no effect on body weights.
