Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
Concentration: 0.5 g of the test material was applied as a paste with 0.16 mL of water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: a surface of about 6 cm²
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap: semiocclusive dressing: covered with a Codex hydrophilic eight layer gauze pad 2.5 cm per side, followed by 10 cm wide adhesive perforated tape (Peloplast: M.S.R.) applied on a crimped gauze bandage (Creplux-Molinier) covering more particularly the whole clipped surface (to avoid possible orthoergic reactions) and wrapped around the animal (without blocking the respiratory and abdominal movements).


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the bandages were removed and if necessary excess test material, which had not penetrated, was wiped away with a gauze pad moistened with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:

Erythema and eschar formation:

No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) or eschar formation (injuries in depth) preventing erythema reading 4

Oedema formation:

No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (edges raised approximately 1 millimetre) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to this study, the test material is not classified as a dermal irritant.
Executive summary:

A dermal irritation study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 404.

Six male New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test material moistened with 0.16 mL of water to form a paste. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours, followed by observation of the animals for 14 days. Irritation was evaluated based on erythema and oedema reactions observed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of application.

No skin reactions were observed during the study. The mean score for the readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours for both erythema and oedema was equal to 0.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not classified for dermal irritation.
