Details on test material:

white powder; stored at room temperature in the dark

Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

New Zealand White rabbits were supplied by David Percival Ltd, Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, UK.; acclimatisation period of at least five days; At the start of the study the animals were in the weight range of 2.0 to 3.5 kg and
were twelve to twenty weeks old. Free access to mains drinking water and food was allowed through out the study. The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least 15 changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours of darkness.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

other: distilled water

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 g of the test material, moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water was introduced under 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch

Duration of treatment / exposure:

The patch was removed after four hours and any residual material removed from the test area by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.

Observation period:

Approximately one hour after removing the patch and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored.

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

The day before the test the three rabbits were clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area and inspected for gross abnormalities of the epidermis. Only animals with an intact healthy epidermis are selected for the study. A suitable site on the back of each rabbit was selected as test site and 0.5 g of test material moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water was introduced under a 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch which was secured in position with surgical tape. The animals were then placed in a corset to avoid the rabbits interfering with the patch and 4 hours later the patch and the corset were removed and residual material removed. After patch removal, the test sites were evaluated after 1 hour, 24, 48, and 72 hours according to the Draize classification scheme for determination of primary irritation index.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The individual scores for erythema/eschar and oedema were all zero for all three animals for the complete 72 hour observation period. No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.The Draize classification scheme for determination of primary irritation index was used

Other effects:

No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study. There were no signs of systemic toxicity

Any other information on results incl. tables

Calculation of Primary Irritation Index and Grading of Irritancy Potential Using the Draize

Scheme: The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72-hour readings were totalled for the three test

rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by six to give the primary irritation index of the test

material.

Primary Irritation Index Classification of Irritancy

0                                   Non-irritant

>0 to2                            Mild irritant

>2 to 5                            Moderate irritant

> 5 to 8                           Severe irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Conclusions:

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as a non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted. The test material did not meet the classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations.
