Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

Pre-treatment:
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, an area of approximately 10 cm wide from one flank to the other (across the back) of each animal shaved with an electric clipper.

Treatment:
The test article was applied to the shaved skin on one flank by means of a gauze patch (2 cm x 3 cm). A control patch was applied to the other flank. The patches were loosely covered with aluminium foil and held in place with adhesive tape. Control patches were moistened with distilled water to improve contact.

Post treatment:
4 hours after treatment, the dressings were removed and the area washed with lukewarm water to remove any remaining test article.

Scoring method:
EPA/OECD (Draize Scale)

Skin examinations:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

Clinical Observations:
Checked daily

Mortality:
Checked daily

Body weight:
Measured and recorded immediately before dose administration and at 72 hour examination (study end).

Skin Examination:
Very slight erythema (score 1) was observed in two animals (no. 088 and 043) at the 1-hour examination. All skin reactions were fully reversed within 24 hours.
For results see Table 1.
Calculated skin irritation indices and scores according to OECD/EEC guidelines are presented in Table 2.

Mortality:
There was no mortality in the test.

Clinical Observations:
There were no remarkable clinical observations.

Body weights:
Body weights were not affected by treatment. Individual body weights presented din Table 3.

Classification:
According to Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, issued May 4, 1993, the results of this test indicate that CA 2219 A (Intermediate of CGA 276854) is not required to be classified for skin irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

According to the test results, CA 2219 A (Intermediate of CGA 276854) is not required to be classified according to Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, issued May 4, 1993.

Executive summary:

A dermal irritation/corrosion was conducted with test article CA 2219 A (Intermediate of CGA 276854) (batch 249-GE001/SU). The test article (0.5 ml) was applied to the shaved skin of three rabbits for four hours under occlusive conditions. The test sites were examined for skin irritation at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

The test article caused skin irritation in two animals. Very slight erythema was observed after the 1 hour examination. All skin reactions were fully reversed within 24 hours after patch removal. There was no mortality, and there were no remarkable clinical observations. Body weights were not affected by treatment. 

Calculation of mean scores for individual animals (EEC method, 24 – 72 hours) for erythema and eschar, and edema resulted in scores of 0, with an overall mean of 0. 

According to the test results, CA 2219 A (Intermediate of CGA 276854) is not required to be classified according to Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, issued May 4, 1993.
