Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at all treated skin sites one and 24 hours after patch removal with very slight erythema at the 48 and 72-hour observations. The erythema extended up to 6 cm beyond all treatment sites during this time.

Very slight edema was noted at all treated skin sites one and 24 hours after patch removal. Very slight edema was noted at three treated skin sites at the 48 hours observation and persisted at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation.

Desquamation extending up to a 6 cm beyond the treatment site was noted at two treated skin sites at the 48-hour observation, at five treated skin sites at the 72 hour observation and at all treated skin sites 7 days post exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The skin irritation potential for isotridecanol is minimal.
Executive summary:

In this study, 6 rabbits were exposed to 0.5 ml and isotridecanol, neat, for 4 hours to evaluate the skin irritation potential.  Irritation responses were examined at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days post exposure.  Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at all treated skin sites one and 24 hours after patch removal with very slight erythema at the 48 and 72-hour observations.  The erythema extended up to 6 cm beyond all treatment sites during this time.  Very slight edema was noted at all treated skin sites one and 24 hours after patch removal.  Very slight edema was noted at three treated skin sites at the 48 hours observation and persisted at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation.  Desquamation extending up to a 6 cm beyond the treatment site was noted at two treated skin sites at the 48-hour observation, at five treated skin sites at the 72 hour observation and at all treated skin sites 7 days post exposure.   The mean skin irritation scores between 24 and 72 hours were: erythema 1.1 and edema 0.5.
