Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
substance was moistened with 1 mL.
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
The skins of the animals were examined for local alterations after the clipping procedure (one day before the application) and immediately before the application. The treated areas and the surrounding untreated skin (control area) of the animals were examined for erythema/eschar and oedema as well as for other local alterations approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.
Number of animals:
3 females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
All exposed skin sites were normal at each examination term.
Executive summary:

The possible irritating or corrosive effects of the substance, following a single application to the intact skin of rabbits, was investigated in conformance with the OECD-Guideline 404 and the Directive 92/69/EEC, method B.4.

All exposed skin sites were normal at each examination term.
