Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The test substance was moistened with distilled water to achieve a dry paste by preparing a 45% w/w mixture. Five-tenths of a gram of the test substance (1.11 g of the test mixture) was applied to each animal.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and behavioral changes at least once daily during the test period. Observations included gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea and coma.

Number of animals:

3 female rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE:
On the day before application, a group of animals was prepared by clipping (Oster model #A5-small) the dorsal area and the trunk. On the day of dosing, but prior to application, the animals were examined for health and the skin checked for any abnormalities. Three healthy animals without preexisting skin irritation were selected for test.
Prior to application, the test substance was moistened with distilled water to achieve a dry paste by preparing a 45% w/w mixture. Five-tenths of a gram of the test substance (1.1 1 g of the test mixture) was placed on a 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 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:
After 4 hours of exposure to the test substance, the pads and collars were removed and the test sites were gently cleansed of any residual test substance.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Individual dose sites were scored according to the Draize scoring system (see Table 3) at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. The Primary Dermal Irritation Index (PDII) was obtained by adding the average erythema and edema scores for the 1, 24, 48 and 72-hour scoring intervals and dividing by the number of evaluation intervals (4).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU GHS

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, Spectrace MD-8 10 Marker (Solvent Free) caused only very slight irritation which was resolved by 24 hrs. Therefore, this material would not be classified as a skin irritant under EU GHS criteria.

Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for Spectrace® MD-810 Marker (Solvent

Free) to produce irritation after a single topical application.

Five-tenths of a gram of the test substance was moistened with distilled water and applied to the skin of three healthy rabbits

for 4 hours. Following exposure, dermal irritation was evaluated by the method of Draize et al.

All animals appeared active and healthy. There were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior. There was no edema observed at any treated site during this study. One hour after patch removal, all three treated sites

exhibited very slight erythema. All animals were free of dermal irritation by 24 hours. The Primary Dermal Irritation Index (PDII) calculated for this test substance was 0.3.
