other: deoinised water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Samples with approximately 0.5 mg of the test substance were moistened with 1.0 mL deionised water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours.
Observation period:
The skins of the animals were examined for local alterations one day before the administration of the test substance (after clipping of the hair) and immediately before the administration. The treated areas of the animals were examined for erythema/eschar and oedema as well as for other local alterations such as hyperplasia, scaling, discolouration, fissures, scabs and alopecia) approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hous after patch removal.
Number of animals:
3 animals (first the test substance was administered to one animal; as no corrosive effect was observed in the inital test, the test substance was administered to two additional animals)
Details on study design:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
All areas to be treated with the test substance and all control areas were normal before the application and at each observation time.
Other effects:
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
All areas to be treated with the test substance and all control areas were normal before the application and at each observation time. Based on the results, the test substance is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

Assessment of the possible irritation/corrosion by the test substance following a single application to the intact skin of rabbits was determined according to the OECD Guideline 404 and B.4 EU Method, with GLP. 0.5 g of the test substance moistened with deionised water, was applied via a patch to a site of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 New Zealand White rabbits and covered by a semi-occlusive dressing. The duration of exposure was 4 hours. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred. All areas to be treated with the test substance and all control areas were normal before the application and at each observation time. Based on the results, the test substance is not a skin irritant.
