Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
A dose of 0.5 g of the test item was applied to each test site.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The test item was held in contact with the skin throughout a 4-hour period.
At the end of the exposure period, the residual test item was removed with tap water.
Observation period:
All animals were observed for 72 hours after the patch removal.
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm²
- Type of wrap if used: The gauze was held in place with non-irritating tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): At the end of the exposure period, the residual test item was removed with tap water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Erythema and Eschar Formation
0: No erythema
1: Very slight erythema (barely perceptible)
2: Well defined erythema
3: Moderate to severe erythema
4: Severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema
- Oedema Formation
0: No oedema
1: Very slight oedema (barely perceptible)
2: Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising)
3: Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm)
4: Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond exposure area)

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No irritant or corrosive effects were observed on the intact skin of the three female rabbits (strain NZW) after a contact time of 4 hours.
In animal no 3 the test item showed slightly irritant (erythema grade 1) effects 48 hours after patch removal which were fully reversible within 72 hours.
Other effects:
Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item at a dose of 0.5 g showed slightly irritant but no corrosive
effects which were fully reversible within 72 hours after patch removal in one out of three animals. Neither irritant nor corrosive effects were observed in any other animal. Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

In conformity with the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations according to Annex VI of Commission Directive 2001/59/EC, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
According to Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
According to GHS (Globally Harmonized Classification System), the test item has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
