Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
not specified

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: shaved intact or shaved abraded with a scarifying instrument
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period:
examinations: 24 and 72 h after application, i.e. 0 and 48 h after the end of treatment/exposure
Number of animals:
3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
0.5 g of the test substance is spread on a 25 cm2 gauze patch, which is applied on the abraded and intact skin of 6 rabbits, clipped free of hair under occlusive conditions. After 24 hours of exposure, the patches are removed. Reactions are recorded 0 and 48 h after the end of exposure.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No skin reactions were observed in any animal at any time point.
At the first reading after end of exposure discolored skin, caused by the test item, was noted in all animals. This effect was no longer evident at the second reading 48 hours after end of exposure.
Other effects:
one female animal died (not test material related).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions.
Executive summary:

The test material was subject to an acute dermal irritation/corrosion test in 6 rabbits according to the regulation of the US Federal Hazardous Substance Labeling Act. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 500 mg test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were examined 0 and 48 h after the end of exposure. No signs of irritation were observed.

Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
