Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Male New Zealand White Rabbits approximately ten to twelve weeks old were used for this study.
The rabbits were obtained from Kuiper Rabbitry, Gary, Indiana. The rabbits weighed from 2.88 to 3.20
kilograms at the start of the study and were individually housed in stainless steel cages in a
temperature (20 ± 3° C), humidity (30-70%), and (12 hour/cycle) light controlled room. Each rabbit was
assigned a test animal number which appeared as an ear tag and also appeared on a cage card visible
on the front of each cage. The rabbits were nulliparous and non-pregnant. The rabbits were
maintained according to the recommendations contained in the National Academy Press 2011: "Guide
for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals". They were conditioned for at least five days prior to
study initiation. Purina Laboratory Rabbit Chow and water were available ad libitum. All animals used
for this study were considered to be in good health at study initiation.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
3 animals
Details on study design:
The day before study initiation, electric clippers were used to remove the hair from the left side of the trunk, from the midline of the back to the abdomen. The following day a 0.5 ml aliquot of the test material was then applied to an area approximately 6 square centimeters on the side of the test animal. The application site is located approximately 5-7 centimeters down from the backbone. The test substance was then covered with a 2.5 cm² - 2 layer gauze patch held in place with non-irritating Kendall Curity Standard Porous Tape and the patch was then covered with a semi-occlusive plastic overwrap secured in place with Kendall Curity Standard Porous Tape for the duration of the exposure period. At the end of the 4 hour contact period, excess material was removed from the site; the site being observed and scored. Dermal irritation readings for erythema and edema were performed approximately 4.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The application sites were graded for indication of skin reactions at 4.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after test substance application. There were minor skin irritation reactions in all of the test subjects. The maximum skin irritation score was 2 for erythema and 1 for oedema at the 72 hour observation. The mean value for erythema was 1.89 and oedema was 0.67 in the 3 animals from grading’s at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. Therefore, in accordance with the CLP guidance, the test substance does not meet the classification criteria for Skin irritation.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD guideline, 404, to determine its skin irritation potential by applying 0.5ml of the test on unabraded site, left side of the trunk from the midline of the back to the abdomen, of 3 albino rats. The excess material was removed from the site after 4 hours and the site was observed and scored. Dermal irritation readings for erythema and oedema were performed approximately 4.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after treatment. There were minor skin irritation reactions in all of the test subjects. The maximum skin irritation score was 2 for erythema and 1 for oedema at the 72 hour observation. The mean value for erythema was 1.89 and oedema was 0.67 in the 3 animals from grading’s at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. Therefore, in accordance with the CLP guidance, the test substance does not meet the classification criteria for Skin irritation.
