Skin alterations
Erythema (scores 1 and 2) and edema (scores 1 and 2) were seen at the application sites from experimental day 1 up to experimental day 13.
Strong redness around the application sites was observed from experimental day 6 up to experimental day 8.
Leathery skin at the application sites and around were observed from experimental day 6 up to experimental day 12 followed by the formation of scales up to the end of the experimental part of the study .
Other effects:
No signs of clinical toxicity were detected. All animals survived the observation period. Body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: EU GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study the test item revealed a long acting irritating potential with mean erythema scores of 1 and mean edema scores of 1.33, 0.33 and 0.33 after 24, 48 and 72 h. Based on these scores the test material does not fulfil the classification criteria for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Purpose

The purpose of this assay was to identify the skin irritation/corrosion potential of the test item when applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. This study was conducted according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and followed the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No 404. This study should provide a rational basis for risk assessment to the irritating potential of the test item in human.

Study Design

To test for primary skin irritation, 0.5 g of the test material was mixed with some drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards the test material was spread onto 6 cm2 patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. The study was started as an initial test with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Thereafter, examinations were performed daily up to day 15 of the experimental phase.

Results

Erythema (scores 1 and 2) and edema (scores 1 and 2) were seen at the application sites from experimental day 1 up to experimental day 13. Strong redness around the application sites was observed from experimental day 6 up to experimental day 8.

Leathery skin at the application sites and around were observed from experimental day 6 up to experimental day 12 followed by the formation of scales up to the end of the experimental part of the study.

The evaluation of the mean scores of all animals is shown below:

time (h) 1 24 48 72

Erythema 1 1 1 1

Edema 1 1.33 0.33 0.33

Conclusion

Based on the edema and erythema scores of < 2.3, the test material is not classified as a skin irritant according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
