Skin irritation / corrosion

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions, study well documented; significance limited due to substance-induced coloration of the skin, which didn't allow correct reading of skin reactions; skin reactions could be caused by other components of the product (acetic acid).

Necrosis with crusts

Individual scores for erythema could not be determined due to substance-induced coloration of the skin. The mean edema score (24, 72 h) was 1.3 in 1 of 6 animals, 2.0 in 4 of 6 animals and 3.0 in 1 of 6 animals. At the end of the observation period (day 8) scaling (in 2 animals) or superficial necrosis with crusts (in 3 animals) was observed. Only cutaneous effects observed after treatment of intact skin are considered relevant for hazard assessment and are described in detail.
