acetalization product between glucose and C14 alcohol

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

 The substance is not irritating to the skin in animals and humans. It is slightly irritating to the eye in animals, without classification being required. 
 For skin and eye irritation the conclusion is “Not classified - based on specific, valid data on the substance”. 
Considering these results in high-sensitivity assays, there is no reason to suspect any relevant respiratory irritation, especially as the granulometry of the substance (as the substance is in the form of pearls) leads to negligible exposure of terminal airways. 
For this route, the conclusion is “Not classified - based on weight-of-evidence analysis”.

- Supplier: elevage de Gérome (Quartier Labaste- F40260 Linxe)
- Acclimatisation period: 5 days
- Weight of animals: between 2.38 and 2.68kg (during the test)
- Age at the beginning of the test: 11 to 12 weeks old

Housing
Each animal was kept in an individual box installed in conventionnal air conditioned animal husbanding; the environmental conditions were:
- T°: between 19 and 23°C
- Relative humidity: between 39 and 52%
- Lighting time: 12 hours daily
- Rate of air exchange: at least ten changes per hour

Drinking water and foodstuff were supplied freely.
Microbiological and chemical analyses of the water were carried out once every six months by the Institut Européen de l'Environnement de Bordeaux.

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: On the opposite flank, an untreated area was served as control.

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5g of the test item was applied on an undamaged skin area of one flank of one animal

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

If no reaction is observed 72 hours after the treatment, the study was terminated. In case of persistent reactions, additional observations can be carried out from D4 to D14 in order to determine the reversible character of the lesions observed.

Number of animals:

Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the cutaneous responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated during 4 hours.

Details on study design:

Approximatively 24 hours before the test, the rabbits' backs anf flancks were shorn using electric clippers equipped with a fine comb, so as to expose an area of skin about 6 cm².

0.5g of the test item was applied on an undamaged skin area of one flank of one animal. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. After the removal of the patch, the treated area was rinsed with distilled water.
On the opposite flank, an untreated area was served as control.
Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the cutaneous responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated during 4 hours.

The skin reactions were appreciated 1 hour and then 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch.
This examination consists in assessing the irritant reactions in the treated zone, compared to a control area; the following scales are used:
Grading scales :
Erythema and Eschar formation Oedema
0...... No erythema 0 ......No oedema
1...... Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1 ......Very slight oedema (barely perceptible)
2......Well defined erythema 2 ...... Slight oedema (contour clearly defined)
3...... Moderate to severe erythema 3 ......Moderate oedema (raised approx. 1mm)
4...... Severe erythema (beef redness) with eschars formation 4 ...... Severe oedema (raised more than 1mm, preventing grading of erythema and extending beyond area of exposure)

Irritant / corrosive response data:

According to the calculated means, the item must not be classified in accordance with the European regulation 67/548/EEC.

Other effects:

It was noted, 1 hour after the test item application, on the treated area, a slight to well defined erythema in the three animals associated with a very slight oedema in one animal. The oedematous reaction was totally reversible at D1 and the erythematous reactions were totally reversible between D1 and D2.

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Conclusions:

The test item is non irritant to skin (Psi=0.3) according to the classification established in the journal officiel de la republique francaise dated February 21st, 1982.

Executive summary:

The test item lce 08083 was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 0.5 g, under semi occlusive dressing during 4 hours on an undamaged skin area of 3 rabbits.
