Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The mean irritation index of 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin was 0.0 after 24 hours.
Hence, the test material 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (CAS No: 91-44-1) was considered to be not irritating to guinea pigs
Executive summary:

Skin irritation test was conducted on guinea pigs to determine the irritation potential of 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (CAS No: 91-44-1) .

10 female Pirbright-White guinea pigs were treated with an emulsion prepared from FCA and physiological saline but without the test chemical and applied on a semicircular arc on the clipped or shaved shoulder area (4*6 cm) from left to right in such a way that whole emulsion was used up for the animals.1 day before the challenge exposure, teh guinea pigs were treated with 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (CAS No: 91-44-1)  by applying different concentrations of the test chemical (10%, 3% and 1%) to the right flank.The results of the challenge exposure were observed after 24 hours. A (+) reaction was considered as threshold of irritation.

The mean irritation index of 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin was 0.0 after 24 hours.

Hence, the test material 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (CAS No: 91-44-1) wasconsidered to be not irritating to guinea pigs
