Irritant / corrosive response data:
See Table I, the test substance is slightly irritating:
- Very slight reactions were seen in two animals during the 4 days observation period. The skin of both animals was normal on day 4
- Very slight erythema was seen in the third animal following removal of the bandage. By day 2, well defined erythema with slight oedema had developed and persisted to day 8. The skin was normal on day 10.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Petrepar-147 is not classified as skin irritant according to the criteria of Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to OECD 404 without compliance in GLP, three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of Petrepar-147. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 10 days. The skin reactions were assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 5 and 10 days after removal of the dressing. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times; 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, for each animal separately.

The mean individual scores were 0.67, 0.67, 2.0 for erythema and 0.00, 0.67, 1.33 for edema. Skin reactions were totally reversible at day 10. Petrepar-147 is slightly irritating.

Based upon the directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation 1272/2008, Petrepar-147 is not considered as irritating to the rabbit skin.
