Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
The test patches (2.5 x 2.5 cm) were moistened with a dose of 0.5 mL of the undiluted liquid test substance.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm, upper third of the back or flanks

SCORING SYSTEM: erythema and eschar formation, and edema formation according to OECD 404 guideline 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the patch.

General observations: A check was made twice each workday and once on saturdays, sundays and on public holidays for general observations and for any dead or moribund animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test the substance is considered to be not corrosive or irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

The potential to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosion was assessed in a OECD 404 guideline study (in compliance with GLP) by a single topical application of 0.5 mL of the test substance to the intact skin of 3 white Vienna rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.1 for erythema and 0.0 for edema. The findings were reversible between 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches. It was concluded that the test substance was not irritating to the skin.
