Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: J. Scheele, Büderich, Germany
- Housing: single caged
- Diet: standard diet Ssniff K 4

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 1°C
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: shaved intact or shaved abraded with a scarifying instrument
Vehicle:
other: type vehicle used not specified
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g of the test item (The amount used is not explicitely specified in the report, but according to the guideline followed 0.5 gram is requested in the case of solids and semisolids) mixed with an appropriate solvent
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
0.5 g of the test substance diluted in an appropriate solvent is spread on a gauze patch, measuring 2,5 x 2,5 cm which is applied on the abraded and intact skin of 6 albino rabbits, clipped free of hair under occlusive conditions. After 24 hours of exposure, the patches are removed and reactions are recorded. Readings are made again 72 hours after application.
(Abrasions are minor incisions through the stratum corneum, but not sufficiently deep to disturb the derma or to produce bleeding)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to an acute dermal irritation/corrosion test in 6 New Zealand White rabbits according to CFR guideline. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g of the test substance dissolved in an appropriate solvent for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were recorded 24 h and 72 after application (i.e. 0 and 48h after patch removal). No skin reactions were observed. Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
