Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: Not necessary since they are reconstructed skin membranes
Remarks:
SPF bred New Zealand White albino rabbits.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution): used as is
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours.
Observation period:
1, 24, 48, 72 hours and at 7 and 14 days after treatment.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- % coverage: 100%
- Type of wrap if used: The test substance was distributed over a cotton gauze patch. The patch loaded with the test substance was fixed to the selected application site by means of semi-occlusive, adhesive tape. Subsequently, the entire trunk of the rabbit was wrapped with a self-adhesive-gauze to maintain the patch in position and to retard evaporation of volatile substances.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The test site was cleaned with a tissue moistened with water.
- Time after start of exposure: Exposure time 4 hours. Observation period post-exposure: 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and at 7 and 14 days.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: The resulting skin reactions were evaluated by the method of Draize et al. (J. Pharrnacol. Exp. Ther. 82 (1944) 377-390.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
According to the EC-standards (as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993), 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 is not irritating to (human) skin. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS; UN/ECE 2003) 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 is also not irritating to (human) skin.
Executive summary:

A sample of 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was tested for acute dermal irritating properties in an experiment with three albino rabbits, according to EC Directive 92/69/EC, method B.4 and OECD Guideline no. 404. 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 caused very slight erythema and very slight oedema. At 24 and 48 hours after treatment, only very slight erythema was observed in the three rabbits. At 72 hours after removal, no signs of skin irritation were observed in any of the three rabbits.

According to the EC-standards (as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993), 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 is not irritating to (human) skin. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS; UN/ECE 2003) 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 is also not irritating to (human) skin.
