Executive summary:

Suberg (Bayer AG), 1983

The skin irritation potential of benzothiazole was investigated in 3 female New Zealand White rabbits comparable to OECD guideline 404 with acceptable restrictions. A 2.5 x 2.5 cm area of intact shaved animal skin was used to apply the test substance. Gauze pads were loaded with 0.5 mL benzothiazole and the test areas were covered semiocclusive with elastic tape. The exposure duration was 4 hours. The skin was rinsed 4 hours after application of the test substance. The skin irritation reactions were examined and scored using the Draize method 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. The mean erythema score at 24 hours was 0.3. At the 48 and 72 hour reading points the erythema score was 0.0. The mean oedema score at 24, 48 and 72 hour were 0.0. The criteria for classification are not fulfilled.
