Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was observed in most animals, 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-treatment. Very slight edema was noted in two animals 24 h after exposure of the substance on the skin, which only in 1 animals for 72 h. Desquamation was seen in one animal at 48 h, and in 2 at 72 h. All skin reactions disappeared within the 7 day observation period.
Other effects:
No other effects were noted

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

In this dermal irritation study, 3 young adult New Zealand rabbits, 2 males and 1 female, were exposedviathe dermal route to 0.5 ml of SER-AD FX 511 per animal. The test material was applied as a aliquid for 4 hours to a 2.5x 2.5cm of the body surface area of test animals. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored using the Draize scheme. Very slight erythema was observed in most animals, 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-treatment. Very slight edema was noted in two animals 24 h after exposure of the substance on the skin, which only in 1 animals for 72 h. Desquamation was seen in one animal at 48 h, and in 2 at 72 h. All skin reactions disappeared within the 7 day observation period. In this study, SER-AD FX 511 was not a dermal irritant. On the basis of this study, SER-AD FX 511 does not warrant classification as being irritating to the skin.

Additional information

The substance is mildly irritating to skin and minimally irritating to the eye in reliable in vivo studies.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available. The study is Klimisch 1.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available. The study is Klimisch 1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not cause skin irritation and the degree of eye irritancy is insufficient to meet the classification criteria. Hence it is not classified for skin or eye irritancy.
