Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Davidson's Mill Farm, South Brunswick, NJ
- Age at study initiation: Adult
- Weight at study initiation: no data
- Housing: The animals were singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging with mesh floors which conform to the size recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals DHEW (NIH) No. 86.23. Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times per week.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted Purina Rabbit Chow #5326.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum by automatic water dispensing system.
- Acclimation period: 18 or 46 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17.8-22.8° C
- Humidity (%): no data
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/12 dark cycle

IN-LIFE DATES: no data

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

distilled

Controls:

other: Untreated skin areas were used as control.

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 gram of test item (dry weight basis)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

up to 72 hours

Number of animals:

2 males and 4 females

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Dorsal area and trunk. On the day prior to application, a group of animals was prepared by clipping (Oster model #A2-small) the dorsal area and the trunk.
- % coverage: one 6 cm2 area
- Type of wrap if used: Micropore tape
The test material was applied to approximately to 1 inch x 1 inch, 4-ply gauze pad and applied to one 6 cm2 intact dose site on each animal. The pad and entire trunk of each animal were then wrapped with a semi-occlusive 3 inch Micropore tape to avoid dislocation of the pad. Elizabethan collars were placed on each rabbit and they were returned to their designated cages.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The test sites were gently wiped with water and a clean towel to remove residual test item.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days)
- Skin reactions were recorded at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration
- Cage side observations: once daily during the test period.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The dermal irritation was assessed according to the Draize Standard Skin Irritation Grading Scale
- Primary Dermal Irritation Index (PDII) was classifed as follows:
PDII Classification
Less than 2.0 Slightlly irritating
2.0-5.0 Moderately irritating
Greater than 5.0 Severly irritating

Irritant / corrosive response data:

One rabbit was free from dermal irritation throughout the study. Within twenty-four hours of patch removal, very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at five of six treated sites. Two rabbits also exhibited ver slight edema. The overall incidence and severity of irritation decreased with time. All affected animals were free from erythema and edema within 72 hours.

Any other information on results incl. tables

All animals appeared active and healthy.  Apart from the dermal irritation noted, there were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharamologic effects or abnormal  behavior.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the classification system used, the Imazalil sulfate, is classified as slightly irritating to the skin when moistened with distilled water prior to application.

Under the conditions of this study, the Primary Irritation Index (PII) was 0.7, indicating that the test substance is a mild irritant. Based on the mean scores for erythema and edema at 24, 48 and 72 hours and the criteria of the CLP Regulation, the substance is considered as non irritant to the skin (score < 2.3).
