Vehicle:

other: other: polyethylene glycol (PEG 400)

Controls:

not specified

Amount / concentration applied:

- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 500 mg
- Concentration (if solution): Before application a 50 % Polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 h

Observation period:

72 h

Number of animals:

6 (3 males and 3 females)

Details on study design:

PROCEDURE:
- 2 days prior to the dermal application, six rabbits were shaved on the whole back and flanks with an electric clipper. The shaven skin of the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment.
- A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape.
- Test substance was applied to each side in quantities of 500 mg. Before application a 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made. The gauze patches were removed 24 h after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 h after it.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Dermal irritation was graded in each animal according to the following scoring scale:
- 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 (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)

- Edema formation:
0 no edema
1 very slight edema (barely perceptible)
2 slight edema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising)
3 moderate edema (raised approximately 1 millimeter)
4 severe edema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond area of exposure)

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance was considered to be not irritating to the intact skin.

Executive summary:

An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test substance in Russian rabbits according to the method given in the Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) which is similar to OECD Guideline 404 with few deviations. In this study, 500 mg of test substance (i.e. 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400)) was applied to each side. A gauze patch of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the scarified as well as intact skin of rabbits for 24 h under occlusive conditions. After the 24 h of application period, the dressing was removed and the intact and abraded sites were assessed for oedema and erythema. A further assessment was made at 72 h. No skin reaction was observed the exposed intact skin. Even no erytehma was seen on the scarified skin as well. However, very slight to slight edema was observed on the sacrificed skin of 5 out of 6 animals, which was fully reversible within 72 h. However, exposure to scarified skin is an elevated testing condition, which leads to increased irritation and is a deviation from guideline. Hence the results obtained with scarified skin normally do not have to be taken into account for hazard assessment. Hence, it was concluded that, under the study conditions, the test substance was not irritating to the intact skin.
