Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, ITC 288 was non-irritant to rabbit skin. Therefore, no classification is required according to the EU legislation (CLP regulation (1272/2008) and Directive 67/548/EEC).
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (Tuffnell, 1992), six male New Zealand rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of ITC 288, moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water for 4 hours under an semi-occlusive dressing. Animals were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the draize scale. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of ITC 288 to the intact skin of six rabbits produced very slight erythema. All treated skin sites appeared normal after treatment. Mean scores (24, 48, 72 hours) was 0.0 for erythema and edema. Under the test conditions of this study, ITC 288 is not considered as skin irritant according to the EU legislation (CLP regulation (1272/2008) and Directive 67/548/EEC).

This skin irritation study is classified as acceptable. It satifies the guideline requirement for a skin irritation in the rabbit.
