Executive summary:

DBE has been tested for skin irritation on 3 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline n° 404 and EU guideline n° B.4 (Draize Method) in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice. The rabbits received a dermal dose of 0.5 ml of DBE on a gauze on intact and abraded skin sites under an semiocclusive dressing for a period of 24 hours. Scores for erythema and oedema were measured 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal and primary cutaneous index was calculated (maximum possible index =12)

No sign of dermal irritation (score = 0 for erythema and oedema) was observed for intact skin site of the 3 rabbits at any reading time. Primary Irritation Index was = 0.0. No other signs of intoxication were observed.

Based on these results DBE is not classified irritating to skin according to the criteria of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
