Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Skin irritation was tested using an internal standard method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. 2 animals were treated for 1, 5 and 15 minutes and for 20 hours usually using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 X 2.5 cm was covered with the moistened test substance using cotton patches of this size.

Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): ca. 1 mL (80% aqueous solution) administered using cotton patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm size.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Experiment 1: 1, 5, or 15 minutes

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure:
An application site of 2.5 X 2.5 cm was covered with the aqueous solution of the test substance (37°C; approx. 1 ml) using a cotton pad of this size.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

Experiment 1:
Washing of the treated skin in the 1 min, 5 min and 15 min test immediately after the respective treatment period. Concentrated Lutrol (a mild detergent) and a 50% aqueous solution therof was used for washing.

Experiment 2: No washing was done after the 20 h treatment period.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Descriptive grading in the raw data: no effect / questionable / slight / strong / very strong.
In addition, indication of the type of finding as appropriate: erythema / edema / scale formation / necrosis / scar.
The descriptive scores in the raw data were converted into OECD/ Draize scores.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating according to EU regulation
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the present study, the test substance has not to be classified as skin irritant following EU CLP requirements. At 48 h post patch removal, skin irritation was not recorded. Nevertheless, in view of only minimal findings at 24 h and the absence of findings at 72 h post patch removal, the study result is fully conclusive regarding classification and labelling according to EU regulations.
