- Area of exposure: 6 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): With water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM: The degree of irritation was daily registered for three days to be later scored in order to make a whole assessment of the effects.
The score was performed within 30-60 minutes, at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema to slight eschar formation 4
Maximum possible 4
- Edema formation:
No edema 0
Very slight edema 1
Slight edema 2
Moderate edema 3
Severe edema 4
Maximum possible 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Sodium trichloroacetate has shown potential of slight irritation for the rabbits skin, and the effects were fully reversible within 7 days.
Executive summary:

This study has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the possible irritant / corrosive effects of sodium trichloroacetate on the skin, using white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The method of the assay has been developed according to OECD Protocol Nº 404,1992. A single dose of 0.5 gwas applied to a skin area of approximately 6 cm2 in three rabbits (males). During the assay period, environmental conditions remained constant (Temperature:22°C, Humidity: 60 % and Photoperiod: twelve hours light and twelve hours darkness). The degree of irritation was daily registered for three days to be later scored in order to make a whole assessment of the effects. Sodium trichloroacetate has shown potential of slight irritation for the rabbits skin, and the effects were fully reversible within 7 days.
