- Type of wrap if used: Cotton wool and a Tubigrip elasticated bandage (for 1 h and 4 h exposures)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): washed with lukewarm water (30-40°C) to remove any residual test substance. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.
- Time after start of exposure: Prelim test: 3 mins, 1 h and 4 h. Main test: 4 h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days): Examination of the treated skin was made on removal of the dressings (for 3 minute or one hour exposures) and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation:

Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema :0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) :1
Well-defined erythema :2
Moderate to severe erythema :3
Severe erythema (beef redness) or eschar formation (injuries in depth) preventing grading of erythema ;4

Oedema formation:
No oedema ;0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) ;1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) ;2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) ;3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) :4

A primary irritation index (PII) was calculated from the erythema and oedema scores according to the following formula as described in Technical Report No. 66 “Skin irritation and Corrosion: Reference chemicals data bank” (March 1995) ECETOC, Brussels.

PII = ((Sum of erythema at 24/48/72 h) + (Sum of Oedema at 24/48/72 h)) / (3 • No. of animals)

The maximum possible score was 8.0. The PII was then used to classify the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0. According to the criteria of European Commission regulation 1272/2008, Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2- methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid did not require any classification and labelling.
Executive summary:

OECD 404 (2012) - In a primary dermal irritation study (OECD 404), young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3 females) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid for 4 hours at an area measuring 25x25 mm.  Animals then were observed for 3 days.  Irritation was scored by the primary irritation index (PII) formula, as reported in Technical Report No. 66 “Skin Irritation and Corrosion: Reference Chemicals Data Bank” (March 1995), ECETOC, Brussels.

 

There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period. The mean Primary Irritation Index through the 24/48/72 h observation period was 0 (maximum value observed during the test was also 0).  In this study,  Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid was not a dermal irritant.

 

According to the criteria of European Commission Regulation 1272/2008, Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid does not require any classification or labelling with regards to skin irritation.
