Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: Clipped free of fur.
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
Moistened with distilled water.
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.5g of the test material.

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied: Moistened with 1.0 mL of distilled water.
- Lot/batch no.: 97E19B26
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour exposure.
Observation period:
Approximately 1 hour following removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.
Number of animals:
Three male animals.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back of rabbit (dorsal/flank area).
- Type of wrap if used: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximate size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm).
To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not considered to be an irritant under the conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema at two treated skin sites. All treated skin sites appeared normal at the 24-hour observation.

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

The test material did not meet the criteria necessary for classification as irritant or corrosive to the skin, according to EC labelling regulations.
