Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the regulation EC No. 1272/2008 Bismuth neodecanoate (Cos Cat 83) does not need to be classified as irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

Bismuth neodecanoate was evaluated for its dermal irritation properties in a skin irritation test in rabbits. The back of each of the six rabbits was clipped free of fur on the day prior to dosing. On the day of dosing, a volume of 0.5 mL of bismuth neodecanoate was applied to each test site (left and right of each animal), which was occluded with a one-inch square gauze patch. Four hours post-dose, the patches and remaining material were removed. 4.5, 28, 52 and 76 after dosing the test sites were examined and scored separately for both erythema and edema according to the Draize scale. Very slight erythema and edema were observed in three of six animals. The mean of the grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing were below the classification criteria given in the regulation EC 1272/2008. Thus, no classification for skin irritation or corrosion is required.
