Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Sipomer B-CEA applied as such on the skin of New Zealand White rabbits for 3 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours was not irritating.
Executive summary:

SIPOMER B-CEA was tested for primary dermal irritation/corrosion in 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Each of the 3 rabbits received three 0.5 ml doses of the test article (a liquid) on a dry compress in a single dermal dose to 2.5 cm2clipped area of the skin. The doses were held in contact with the skin under a semi-occlusive patch for an exposure period of 3 minutes, 1 hour, and 4-hours, respectively. Cutaneous examinations were performed at removal of the dressing, after wiping of the remaining test article, then daily for up to 14 days.

 

Exposure for 3 minutes produced very slight erythema (score 1) in 2/3 animals at removal of the dressing. The effects resolved completely by the 24-hour observation time. No oedema was observed.

Exposure for 1 hour produced very slight erythema (score 1) in all 3 animals at removal of the dressing. On one site, erythema increased to well-defined (grade 2) at 72 hours. The effects resolved completely by day 7 (2/3 animals) or day 10 (1 animal). No oedema was observed.

Exposure for 4 hours produced very slight erythema (score 1), and very slight (2/3 animals) to well-defined oedema (1 animal). Oedema resolved completely by the 72-hour observation time. On 3 test sites, the erythema increased to well-defined by the 72-hour scoring and persisted at day 7 on one site. Additional findings included superficial lightening and desquamation on 3 sites and 1 site, respectively. These effects resolved completely by day 14. The individual mean scores for each animal were 1.33 – 1.33 – 1.33 for erythema, and 0.33 – 0.67 – 0.33 for oedema. (or PII: 1.92)

 

Based on these results, SIPOMER B-CEA should not be classified as a skin irritant according to GHS criteria.
