Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
March 30, 1979 - April 6, 1979
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
This in vivo study has been performed before the adoption of OECD 404, using US test standards. As the conditions under which the study was performed were more severe than prescribed by OECD 404 (24 hours occlusive exposure instead of 4 hours semi-occlusive exposure), it is still regarded as reliable information for assessing the skin irritation hazard of the substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: effects were reported on the intact skin sites (mean erythema score of 1 at removal of the patch), which fully reversed within 48 hours. No oedema effects were observed. Results indicate minimal irritation.
Conclusions:
In an in vivo study performed similar to Code of Federal Regulations 21, Part 191.1 (g) (2), 191.11, before the adoption of OECD 404, the skin irritation potential of the substance (solid content: 36-38%) was investigated. The 3 rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the test material for 24 hours under occlusive conditions. Effects were only reported directly after patch removal, with a very slight intensity, which fully reversed within 48 hours.
