Other effects:
A loss of 30 grams in body weight was recorded between the day of administration and the 24 hours following it in the first rabbit administered, as was a loss of 110 grams in body weight between 48 and 72 hours after the administration. A loss of 70 grams in body weight was recorded in another animal between 72 hours and 7 days after the administration, and a loss of 10 grams between the day of administration and the 24 hours afterwards in the case of the remaining animal. However, a posterior recovery of the weight was observed in all the animals.

The behaviour and physical state of the rabbits was normal throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The means of the erythema and edema evaluation 24, 48 and 72 hours after removing the patch in the animals after a 4-hour exposure to the test item, were 2.11 (erythema) and 0.78 (edema). Only one animal showed a mean score (24-72 h) greater than 2.3. Based on the CLP classification criteria, the test material should not be classified for skin irritation.
Executive summary:

The degree of primary dermal irritation caused by the test item was determined after application to the shaven skin of 3 rabbits. The study was carried out according to OECD guideline 404 and EU method B.4. Initially one animal was used, and 3 semiocclusive patches were applied sequentially during 3 minutes, 1 and 4 hours, respectively. A confirmation assay was then sequentially performed, applying a patch with the test item during 4 hours in another two animals. The means of the erythema and edema evaluations at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removing the patch in the animals after a 4 -hour exposure to the test item were 2.11 (erythema) and 0.78 (edema).
