Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

The skin of all 3 animals did not show any reactions.Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed.The Primary Irritation Index (PII) of the test chemical was 0.0
Based on these results and applying the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex VI of the EEC Council directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC), the test chemical need not be labelled as Skin Irritant.

Executive summary:

The test chemical was applied in a single dose to the skin of the experimental animals, each animal serving as its own control.The degree of irritation was evaluated and scored according to OECD 404 Guidelines at specific intervals.

3 young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study. One day before dose administration, the fur was removed from the central back of the rabbits by clipping, exposing an area of skin of approximately 10*10 cm. 0.5 gm of test substance moistened with 0.5 ml of milli RO water  was applied on  6cm square patch of Metalline, mounted on a permeable tape.this was applied to the left flank of each animal.The right flank being covered with same dressing with the test chemical served as control.Finally the animals were wrapped in a flexible bandage. The exposure duration was 4 hours, after which the remaining test substance was gently removed using a tissue moistened with tap-water. The exposed areas were examined for signs of erythema and edema and the responses were scored at 60 minutes then 24, 48, 72 hours after patch removal. The test results were evaluated according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex VI of the EEC Council directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC).

The skin of all 3 animals did not show any reactions.Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed.The Primary Irritation Index (PII) of the test chemical was 0.0

Based on these results and applying the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances (Annex VI of the EEC Council directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 83/467/EEC), the test chemical need not be labelled as Skin Irritant.
