TEST ANIMALS
- Source: IVANOVAS, 7964 Kisslegg/Allgaeu, Germany and MADOERIN AG, 4414 Fuellinsdorf, Switzerland
- Weight at study initiation: 2-3 kg
- Housing: individually in metal cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): standard rabbit food - NAFAG, No. 814, Gossau SG; ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): drinking water; ad libitum
- Acclimation period: a minimum of 4 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22±2
- Humidity (%): 55±10

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: shaved or abraded (only data from the shaved skin sites are presented here, since they are suitable for assessment)
Vehicle:
other: The test material was prepared for application in polyethylene glycol + saline (70 : 30 parts).
Controls:
other: untreated skin sites of the same animals
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
- Concentration (if solution): as 50% in polyethylene glycol
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
6 (3 males and 3 females)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the right flank (the whole back and flanks was shaved with an electric clipper). The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment.
- % coverage: the patch the patches were covered with an impermeable material
- Type of wrap if used: the covered patches were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Time after start of exposure: the patches were removed 24 hours after the application

SCORING SYSTEM: comparable to the OECD scoring system

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No irritation was observed on intact skin sites. It could therefore be assumed that the test substance is not irritating according to EU-CLP.
Other effects:
A slight irritation (edema score 1 and erythema score 1 in one female animal) was observed on abraded skin sites 24 hours after treatment, but was completely reversible within 48 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a rabbit study according to an EPA guideline, the substance did not induce any skin irritation.
