Details on study design:

On the day prior to dosing, the back of each rabbit was clipped free of fur with electric clippers. During this procedure, care was taken to avoide accidental abrasion to the skin. On the day of dosing. a volume of 0.5 ml of the test article was applied to each of 2 test sites. Following application, each test site was occluded with a one-inch square gauze patch held in place with Blenderm(r) tape.

Four hours post-dose, the patches were removed. The exposure sites were gently wiped with clean gauze to remove as much non-absorbed test article as possible. One half hour after unwrapping, the exposure sites were examined and scored separately for both erythema and edema on a graded sc all of 0 to 4 in accordance with the Skin Reaction Code. The exposure sites were again examined and scored at 28, 52 and 76 hours post-dose. Any signs of irritation were noted and observations were made on day 4, 7, 10 and 14 or until all sites returned to normal. Any extraordinary finding. dermal or toxicological, were noted.

In evaluation the average irritation, scores for individual intact exposure sites were recorded separately for each of the scoring time intervals. Based on the 28, 52 and 76 hour observations, a total for erythema and eschar formation was added to a total for edema, then divided by 6 to yield individual animal score. The mean of the six scores was calculated and this score represents the mean primary score.

Additional information

Skin Irritation:

Key study

In a GLP study similar to OECD 404, New Zealand White Rabbits exposed to Molyvan 855 slight erythema and eshcar formation was the primary effect observed in animals up until 76 hours post dosing. Slight edema formation was observed in two animals post dosing up to 28 hours post dosing (Food and Drug Research Laboratories, Inc, 1985).

Eye Irritation:

Key study

In a GLP study similar to OECD 405, using New Zealand White rabbits, all effects noted were fully reversible within 72 hours with only minor effect still being documented in one animal at 48 hours post treatment, Molyvan 885 was found to be moderately irritating (Food and Drug Research Laboratories, Inc, 1985).

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Well conducted study similar to OECD 404 under GLP conditions.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Well conducted study similar to OECD 405 under GLP conditions.

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating

Effects on eye irritation: moderately irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation:

In the key study conducted similar to OECD 404 under GLP conditions, slight erythema and eshcar formation was the primary effect observed in animals up until 76 hours post dosing; slight edema formation was observed in two animals post dosing up to 28 hours post dosing (Food and Drug Research Laboratories, Inc, 1985) therefore, according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, Molyvan 855 is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion.

Eye irritation

In the key study conducted similar to OECD 405 under GLP conditions, all effects noted were fully reversible within 72 hours with only minor effects still being documented in one animal at 48 hours post treatment, (Food and Drug Research Laboratories, Inc, 1985).

Therefore, according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, Molyvan 855 is not classified for eye irritation.
