Irritant / corrosive response data:
There were no abnormal clinical signs or changes in body weight. No erythema was observed in any animal throughout the study. Edema (scores: 1) was observed in 2/3 animals at 1 hour postdose and resolved by 24 hours postdose. The PII was 0.0/8.0.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study (PII = 0.0/8.0), the test article is not a dermal irritant.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of T-7601 (off white solid, Lot 3) was evaluated in New Zealand White rabbits. This study was performed in accordance with OECD GLP. The study design was based on OECD 404 (1992) and Commission Directive 92/69/EEC B.4 (1992). The hair was clipped from the dorsal skin of three male rabbits. The test material (0.5 g) was moistened with deionized water and placed under a metalline patch on the back of each animal and secured with micropore tape. The torso was wrapped with a coban bandage in a semi-occlusive manner for a 4-hour exposure. Observations for skin irritation (erythema and edema) were recorded at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after unwrapping. The Primary Irritation Index (PII) was calculated. There were no abnormal clinical signs or changes in body weight. No erythema was observed in any animal throughout the study. Edema (scores: 1) was observed in 2/3 animals at 1-hour post dose and resolved by 24 hours post dose. The PII was 0.0/8.0. Based on the results of the study (PII = 0.0/8.0), the test article is not a dermal irritant.
