Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study the test substance is considered to be irritating to skin.

Executive summary:

The study was performed in a method equivalent or similar to EU Method B.4 under GLP to assess the irritancy potential of the test substance to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The test substance was applied over an area of approximately 2.5cm square to the clipped backs of 4 albino rabbits. The test substance was held in contact with the skin under a semi-occlusive patch for a 4 hour period. After this time the patches were removed and the skin reaction to the test substance was assessed after one, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Additional assessments were carried out 7 and 14 days after dosing to determine the degree of reversibility of the skin reaction. The response increased within twenty four hours of dosing when well defined erythema of the skin was noted in all four animals. Slight oedema was apparent and very slight oedema of the skin was observed. Well defined erythema and slight oedema were observed at the treated sites at the forty eight hour observation. Seventy two hours after dosing slight increase in oedematous reaction had occurred in one animal and thickening of the treated skin was observed in a second animal. Well defined erythema, moderate oedema and thickening of the treated skin was observed in all organisms seven days after dosing. This reaction declined and fourteen days after dosing well defined erythema and slight oedema remained in one organism, and very slight irritation was observed at the treated sites of the remaining organisms. Desquamation from the skin surface was noted in all four rabbits of the group. Applicant recalculation of the results indicates that under the conditions of this study, that the mean erythema scores between 24 and 72 hours were > 2.0 in at least 3 of 4 organisms and the response had not fully reversed within a 14 day period. The test item should be considered as irritating to the skin.
