Executive summary:

The study objective was to determine the irritant / corrosive effects on skin of female albino rabbits (strain Crl:KBL(NZW)BR). The method used complied with the OECD TG 404 and GLP, therefore the sudy is assigned as Klimish 1. 0.5 mL of the pure liquid test substance was applied to the skin of the animal under a gauze patch. The treated skin area was approximately 2.5 cm by 2.5 cm in size. The patch was placed on the dorso-lateral areas of the trunk of each animal and was held in place with non-irritating tape for the duration of the exposure period. After the exposure period the dressing and patch were removed. The exposed skin area was carefully washed with water without altering the existing response, or the integrity of the epidermis. The surrounding untreated skin served as control. In the first step only one animal was used and three test patches were applied successively to this animal. As no serious skin reactions were observed after three minutes, the second patch was applied and removed after one hour. At this stage the observations indicated that with respect to animal welfare the exposure can be allowed to extend to four hours, therefore the third patch was applied and removed after four hours and the responses were graded one hour later. The test was completed using two additional animals, exposed for four hours. The dermal irritation was scored approximately at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. The dermal irritation was observed after 72 hours therefore the animals were monitored usually on day 7 and 14 after patch removal until the changes had completely subsided. The degree of erythema/eschar formation and oedema formation was recorded as specified by DRAIZE. Any serious lesions or toxic effects other than dermal irritation were also recorded and fully described. As general criteria the body weight of each animal was recorded at the beginning of the study. If clinical findings other than dermal irritations occur they were recorded daily. The mean irritation scores for erythema (redness) and eschar formation at the 24 -h, 48 -h and 72 -h reading points were 2.3, 2.0 and 2.0 for animal 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The mean oedema scores were 2.0, 1.3 and 1.0 for animal 1, 2 and 3, respectively. All skin reactions were fully reversible within 7 days. There were no systemic intolerance reactions. The irritation scores in 2 of 3 animals do not exceed the cut-off values defined in the CLP, therefore the classification as skin irritant is not warranted for this substance.
