Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

14 days

Number of animals:

3 male

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 150 cm2 (10x15 cm2)
- % coverage: 4% (2x3cm (6cm2))
- Type of wrap if used: Coban elastic bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
The irritation was assessed according to the following numerical scoring system. At each observation, the highest scores given were recorded:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema - 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) - 1
Well-defined erythema - 3
Severe erythema (beet redness)* - 4
*where signs of necrosis or corrosion (injuries in depth) prevent erythema scoring, the maximum grade is given
Oedema formation:
No oedema - 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) - 1
Slight oedema (edges of area are well-defined by definite raising) - 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm) - 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond the area of exposure) - 4

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Four hours of exposure to 0.5 ml resulted in well-defined erythema and very slight or slight oedema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits. Diffuse and speckled erythema was noted in one animal between 24 and 72 hours. The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in all animals. Scaliness was observed in two animals after 72 hours and all animals after 7 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Dihydro-3-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]furan-2,5-dione has been tested for acute skin irritation in a semi-occlusive study conducted according to OECD TG 404 and in compliance with GLP. Diffuse and speckled erythema was noted in one animal between 24 and 72 hours. The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in all animals. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the skin.
