Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River France, L’Arbresle Cedex, France
- Age at study initiation: between 12 and 24 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: body weights were at least 1.5 kg
- Housing: labeled cages with perforated floors and shelters
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted diet for rabbits approximately 100 grams per day. Hay and wooden sticks were available during the study period.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 to 24°C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): at least 10 air changes/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle

IN-LIFE DATES: From: To:

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

other: watery ethanol (50% v/v)

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 grams of the test substance

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 1 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 h

Observation period:

72 hours after the removal of the dressings and test substance

Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2x3 cm
- Type of wrap if used: The metalline patch was mounted on Micropore tape, which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the dressing was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using tap water.
- Time after start of exposure: Four hours

OBSERVATION:
-Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
-Toxicity: At least once daily.
-Body Weight: Day of treatment (prior to application) and after the final observation.
-Necropsy: No necropsy was performed according to protocol.
-Irritation: The skin reactions were assessed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressings and test substance. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. Adjacent areas of the untreated skin of each animal served as controls.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

No skin irritation was caused by 4 hours exposure to the test substance.

Other effects:

No staining of the treated skin by the test substance was observed and no test substance remnants were seen.
No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Conclusions:

Based on these results the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation according to the:
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011) (including all amendments);
- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (including all amendments).
