Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
other: applied as paste in polyethylene glycol 400
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):
500 mg

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):
0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution):
n.a. paste
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Then test substance was removed from the skin with warm tap water.
Observation period:
30 - 60 min. after removal of the patches
24, 48 and 72 hrs after removal of the patches
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- % coverage: 100%
The moistened substance was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster (specially produced by Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg). The plaster was fixed to the prepared skinarea (ca. 25 cm2) and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, with warm tap water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No edema or erythema were recorded after 4 h exposure of 500 mg test item to rabbit skin. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be not irritating.
Executive summary:

Skin irritation was tested in a guideline study according to OECD guideline 404 in rabbits.30 min up to three days after treatment, the skin did not show any sign of erythema or edema. Mean scores on all observation time points after application were 0 for the three animals.
