Irritant / corrosive response data:

The individual scores for erythema/eschar and oedema are reported.
Very slight erythema was noted at all treated skin sites at the 24 hour observation and persisted at one treated skin site at the 48 hour observation.
Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 48 hour observation and the remaining treated skin site appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

Other effects:

Individual bodyweights and bodyweight changes are reported.
All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.

Interpretation of Results

Calculation of Primary Irritation Index and Grading of Irritancy Potential Using the Draize Scheme

The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72‑Hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by six to give the primary irritation index of the test item. The test item was classified according to the following scheme devised by Draize J H (1959) "Dermal Toxicity" In: Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics. Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, p.46‑59:

Primary Irritation Index	Classification of Irritancy
0	Non-irritant
> 0 to 2	Mild irritant
> 2 to 5	Moderate irritant
> 5 to 8	Severe irritant

If irreversible alteration of the dermal tissue is noted in any rabbit, as judged by the Study Director, which include ulceration and clear necrosis or signs of scar tissue, the test item is classified as corrosive to rabbit skin. Classification according to Draize may, therefore, not be applicable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: mild irritant

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Draize classification scheme

Conclusions:

The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

Executive summary:

Introduction. The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)

Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Results. A single 4‑Hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 48‑Hour observation and one treated skin site appeared normal at the 72‑Hour observation.

Conclusion. The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
