Scoring was done similar to the Draize system of classification.

Observations: Moderate to severe erythema and defined edema was observed at 24 h and moderate to severe erythema and moderate edema was observed at 72 h on abraded and intact rabbit skin.

The mean primary skin irritation index obtained = 5.50 (mean of erythema and edema scores at 24 and 72 h).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information irritating to the skin Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance had an irritant effect on the skin and was classified as a irritating according to the definitions given in the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The Draize system of classification, which is separate from the Federal Register test, would regard the test substance as a severe irritant to the skin. Further, according to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008) , the test substance may be considered to be Category 2 skin irritant as the mean scores of erythema and edema were >2.3 after 72 h.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the skin irritation potential of test substance, amides, C18 -unsatd., N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) to the rabbit skin in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, 191.11.

Six animals were treated with undiluted 0.5 mL (0.5 g) of the test substance. The treated areas were covered with a semi-occlusive gauze patch and taped to maintain the test substance in contact with the skin for a duration of 24 h. The degree of erythema and edema were recorded according to Draize scoring system after 24 and 72 h.

Moderate to severe erythema and defined edema was observed at 24 h and moderate to severe erythema and moderate edema was observed at 72 h on the abraded and intact rabbit skin. The meanprimary skin irritation index (PII) was 5.5.

Under the test conditions, the test substance had an irritant effect on the skin and was classified as a irritating according to the definitions given in the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The Draize system of classification, which is separate from the Federal Register test, would regard the material as a severe irritant to the skin. Further, According to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008), the test substance may be considered to be Category 2 skin irritant as the mean scores of erythema and edema were >2.3 after 72 h.
