Irritant / corrosive response data:
During reading after 1 hour since the end of exposure, well defined erythema was stated on treated area of skin of all rabbits. No oedema of skin was stated in rabbits.
During reading after 24 hours since the end of exposure, well defined erythema was still observed on treated area of skin of all rabbits. Barely perceptible oedema of skin was stated in rabbit No 1 and No 2.
During reading after 48 hours since the end of exposure, barely perceptible erythema was stated in rabbit No 1 whereas well defined erythema was observed in rabbit No 2 and No 3. No oedema of treated skin was stated.
During readings after 72 hours and 7 days since the end of exposure, barely perceptible erythema of skin was stated in rabbits No 1 and No 3, well defined erythema - in rabbit No 2.
During reading after 14 days since the end of exposure, no pathological changes were stated on treated area of skin of rabbit No 1. Barely perceptible
erythema of skin was stated in rabbits No 2 and No 3.
During reading after 21 days since the end of exposure, no pathological changes were stated on treated area of skin of rabbits.
Other effects:
The animals gained in the body weight: at the end of experiment rabbit No 1 weighed 4.0 kg, rabbit No 2 – 3.8 kg and rabbit No 3 – 3.6 kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is not irritating to skin since mean values for erythema and oedema calculated for each animal for three consecutive days (24, 48 and 72 hours) did not exceed the trigger values leading to classification and labelling according to CLP.
Executive summary:

Acute skin irritation/corrosion study with Fe (III) HBED (CAS 1061328 -86 -6) according to the OECD TG 404 was conducted in 3 White New Zealand rabbits (Gruszka, 2008). The powdered test item in amount of 0.5 g was applied as a single dose to the shaved skin of the rabbits and covered with an appropriate band. The test substance was held 4 hours in contact with the skin by semi-occlusive dressing. Skin condition was evaluated after 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours as well as after 7, 14 and 21 days after the end of exposure. The mean values of the scores for erythema and oedema were calculated for each animal. Erythema and oedema were observed on skin of rabbits. Well-defined erythema was observed in all animals at 1-hour and at 24-hour readings. Erythema became barely perceptible on day 7 in two animals and on day 14 in third animal and was fully reversible within 21 days of observation period. Very slight oedema was noted only in two animals at 24-hour reading and disappeared completely after 48 hours after exposure. No pathological changes were noted on treated skin of animals. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.3, 0.3 and 2.0 for erythema and 0.3, 1.7 and 0.0 for oedema. These values do not exceed cut-off-values defined in the Guidance on the Application of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, and do not trigger classification and labeling as skin irritant.
