Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- 1979-04-30 to 1979-05-14
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- This study is classified as reliable with restrictions because it is an acceptable and a well-documented study report, but is done for the read-across substance. Read-across justification: Based on the chemical composition, the renewable hydrocarbons produced from raw materials such as fatty acid rich oil like Crude Tall Oil (CTO) or triglyserides, using a hydrotreatment process have similar hydrocarbon fractions and they contain the same critical constituents than fossil diesel fuels. According to the identified hydrocarbon blocks, the typical carbon number ranges and the physicochemical properties, the renewable hydrocarbons with diesel type fractions can be considered as having structural similarities and similar behaviour in contact with water and in the physiological processes than the analogue source substances (fossil diesel fuels). Their irritation properties, skin sensitisation property as well as acute and long-term adverse effects to human health is similar. Therefore, and in order to avoid the unnecessary animal testing, the read-across data from the analogue fossil diesel fuels is used to evaluate skin and eye irritation, the genetic toxicity, carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity and short term and/or long-term toxicological effects of the target substance.

- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to the read-across substance, similar to renewable hydrocarbons of wood origin (diesel type fraction), for 24 hours in occlusive conditions. The mean erythema and oedema scores during the 24 to 72 hour observation periods were 2.5 and 1.5, respectively. Based on the conditions of this study, the test substance is considered an skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
This skin irritation study was conducted for the read-across substance, #2 Home Heating Oil (50% cat]), similar to the registering substance.
In this study New Zealand White rabbits (3/sex) were exposed to 0.5 mL of test substance applied to four shaved test area on the back (2 abraded and 2 intact) via a a gauze patch. Gauze patches were secured with Saran wrap and Band-Aids and wrapped with Conform elastic tape. After 24 hours of exposure the covering were removed and the test sites were wiped with gauze sponges to removed excess material. Animals were observed at 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 and 14 days post-administration. Signs of erythema and eodema were scored according to the draize technique.Signs of erythema and oedema were evident at 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days. By day 14 all erythema and oedema had subsided. The mean erythema and oedema scores during the 24 to 72 hour observation periods were 2.5 and 1.5, respectively. Based on the conditions of this study, the test material is classified as an irritant.
This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restrictions because it is an acceptable and a well-documented study report, but is conducted for the read-across substance.
