Details on study design:

TESTING PROCEDURE:
Three male animals in acceptable health condition were selected for this test. Each animal was examined 24 hours before starting the test. Approximately 24 hours prior to the test the hair was clipped from the back and flanks of the animals. The test item was applied to an approximately 6 cm² area of intact skin. Sterile gauze pads (10x10cm) were placed on the skin of rabbits. These gauze patches were kept in contact with the skin by a patch with a surrounding adhesive hypoallergenic plaster. The entire trunks of the animals were wrapped with plastic wrap for 4 hours. 4 hours after the application the rest of the test item was removed using body temperature water. In the first step an initial test was performed using one animal. One hour after application of the test item to the sentinel animal, the application site was examined. Severe irritation or corrosive effect could not be found in the initial test, therefore the bandage was replaced and the exposure continued for a further 3 hours (a total 4 hours exposure). Two additional animals were involved for this study.

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS AND EVALUATION OF SKIN IRRITATION:
- Animals were examined for signs of erythema and oedema, and the responses scored at 60 minutes, 24, 48, 72 hours then at 1 and 2 weeks after the patch removal. At the end of the observation period the animals were humanely sacrificed.
- The body weights were recorded at the beginning and at the end of the experiment.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

- 1 hour after the patch removal very slight erythema (score 1) occurred in all animals. Oedema was not observed in animals during the study.
- 24 hours after the patch removal moderate to severe erythema (score 3) was recorded in all animals.
- 48 hours after the patch removal moderate to severe erythema (score 3) was detected in two animals (No.: 01319, 01349) and very slight erythema (score 1) was observed in animal No.: 01348.
- 72 hours after the patch removal well defined erythema (score 2) was recorded in animal No.: 01319, very slight erythema (score 1) was detected in animal No.: 01348 and moderate to severe erythema (score 3) was observed in animal No.: 01349.
- 1 week after the patch removal very slight erythema (score 1) was detected in animal No.: 01319 and well defined erythema (score 2) was recorded in animal No.: 01349. However, other irritation signs occurred in animals. Crusting was observed in all animals and desquamation was detected in two animals (No.: 01319, 01349).
- 2 weeks after the patch removal all animals became free of irritation symptoms.

Other effects:

During the study the behaviour and general state of animals were normal. There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test substance is, in a GLP compliant OECD 404 guideline study, considered to be irritating to the skin.

Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant acute skin irritation study performed according to OECD guideline 404, the irritating potential of Petol PM 410-4N was investigated. Three male new Zealand White rabbits were treated once with 0.5 mL pure test substance. Approximately 24 hours prior to the test the hair was clipped from the back and flanks of the animals. The test item was applied under occlusive conditions to the skin for 4 hours. After 4 hours the rest of the test item was removed with water at body temperature. Animals were examined for signs of erythema and oedema, and the responses scored at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and at 1 and 2 weeks after the patch removal. Test item caused slight to severe skin irritant (erythema) effects, fully reversible within 2 weeks. The animals’ individual mean scores (average of the readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) were 2.66, 1.66, and 3.00. No edema was observed at any time point. After one week crusting and desquamation were observed which was no longer observed at the final observation time 14 days after treatment. During the study the behaviour and general state of animals were normal. There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period. Based on the results of the study, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the skin.
