Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 cm²
- Type of wrap if used: occlusive elastic bandage
- test item was applied to intact as well as scarified skin of each animal

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

SCORING SYSTEM: described in § 1500.41 in Fed. Reg. 38, No. 187, 27.09.1973, p.27019, in accordance with OECD TG 404.
Scores were assessed 24, 48 and 72 h after start of exposure, which lasted for 24 h. For classification, the readings are stated here as immediately, 24 and 48 h after end of exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions. This conclusion is legitimate although the testing regime differs from today's standard methods (e.g., exposure of intact and scarified skin, application period 24 hours instead of 4 hours, deviating reading times, scoring system is identical to the currently used system), because no skin reactions were observed in any animal at any timepoint. The test material contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are considered adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to an acute dermal irritation/corrosion test in 6 Himalayan albino rabbits according to FDA guideline. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 500 mg test substance (pasted in 0.7 mL PEG 400) for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for up to 48 hours after end of exposure. No skin reactions were observed. Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
