Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: abraded and intact shaved skin.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
Gauze of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with 0.5 ml of the test substance were applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The dressing were removed after a 24 hrs application.
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: before treatment the entire back and the flank of the rabbits were shaved with an electric clipper and immediately before treatment the shaven skin on one side was slightly scarified.
- Type of wrap if used: patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information according to the CLP Regulation Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Not irritating.
Executive summary:

Method

The skin irritation potential was assessed following the procedure of the patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).

Results

Primary irritation index was estimated to be 0.83, therefore the substance resulted minimal irritating.

Discussion and conclusion

The scoring system criteria used to record the hardness of the skin reactions followed in the current test are the same as those reported into the OECD guideline, therefore it is possible to re-evaluate the results according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), because the raw tables are included into the study report. Only the intact skin reactions were considered.

Mean values from grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were 0 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions.

In conclusion, the test item is not classified as irritating, according to the CLP (EC 1272/2008) Regulation.
