60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.

Number of animals:

3 female rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal area of the trunk
- % coverage: small area (approximately 6 cm2) of intact skin site
- Type of wrap if used: impervious occlusive wrap

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: After patch removal, the dressing and unabsorbed test product was removed and the site of application was cleaned with lukewarm water.

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days) : 60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: The site of application was observed for skin reaction if any. The intact skin site of application of each animal was observed for signs of erythema and oedema and the responses were scored following Draize’s method at 60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

The test chemical applied at the dose level of 0.5 gm on shaven back skin (approximately 6 cm2) of rabbit did not produce any clinical signs of irritation to skin during period of observation. The overall irritation score was calculated to be 0.00. Hence, the test chemicalk can be considered to be not irritating to skin. It can be classified under the category "Not Classified".

Executive summary:

A dermal irritation study was conducted on female New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical.

In the initial test one healthy rabbit of body weight 1.80kg±200gm was selected for the study after acclimatization. The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied at the different sites on the shaven back skin of animal. The hairs of back sides were removed (approximately 6 cm2) one day earlier before the treatment.

The test substance in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied to a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin and covered with a gauze patch, which was held in place with non irritating tape. The first patch was applied on the shaven back skin of rabbit and removed after three minutes. No serious reaction was observed at the site of application. The second patch was applied on the different shaven back side and removed after one hour. There were no signs of skin reaction observed at this site of application. Finally, a third patch was applied at a different site and was removed after four hour. No skin reaction was observed after four hours patch removal.Finally, the animal was observed for 14 days, for any irritation and corrosion.

Because no corrosive effect observed in the initial test, a confirmatory test was done in order to confirm the irritant or negative response of the test substance by using two additional animals. In the confirmatory test the test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied on the shaven back skin of two animals, each with one patch, for an exposure period of four hours.

The test chemical applied at the dose level of 0.5 gm on shaven back skin (approximately 6 cm2) of rabbit did not produce any clinical signs of irritation to skin during period of observation. The overall irritation score was calculated to be 0.00. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to skin. It can be classified under the category "Not Classified".
