Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

The PII score for the test was 0.44.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to assess the acute dermal irritancy of the test article in rabbits according to OECD Test Guideline 404. Three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 ml of the test article, by application onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Skin reactions were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure. Exposure to the test material resulted in well defined erythema in the treated skin-area of the rabbits which had resolved within 48 hours in two animals and within 72 hours in the other animal. No edema was noted. Under the conditions of the test, the test material caused slight to well-defined erythema when applied to the skin of rabbits. The test material does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations.
