Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 404, an application of undiluted DEIPA (0.5 ml) resulted in no dermal irritation in New Zealand White rabbits.

Executive summary:

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 404, the dermal irritation of DEIPA was assessed. Three New Zealand White rabbits received an application of 0.5 ml of undiluted DEIPA to clipped skin, which was subsequently covered for 4 hours by an occlusive patch followed by removal of the test material with a damp cloth. All rabbits were graded for erythema and edema at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

 

No dermal irritation was exhibited in any of the rabbits. The application of DEIPA did not significantly affect body weights and no systemic toxicity was observed [although the extent of examination is not specified]. The study was terminated on day 4.

 

From the results of this well-conducted study, DEIPA can be considered as non-irritating to the skin of rabbits.
