- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 - 23 deg. C
- Humidity (%): 30-70%
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12h light / 12h dark:

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

other: Distilled water

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

500 mg of the test substance moistened with 0.5ml of distilled water

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 h

Observation period:

One hour after the removal of patches and 24, 48 and 72 hours later the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back of each rabbit
- Type of wrap if used: Patch secured with surgical adhesive tape. The trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset to prevent the animal interfering with the patches.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Any residual test material was removed by gently swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirit.
- Time after start of exposure: First rabbit had 3 patches applied one of which was removed at each of 3 time points - 3m, 1h and 4h. The two remaining animals (with only 1 patch applied each) had patches removed after 4h.

Interpretation of Results

Calculation of Primary Irritation Index and Grading of Irritancy Potential Using the Draize Scheme

The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72 - Hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by six to give the primary irritation index of the test item. The test item was classified according to the following scheme devised by Draize J H (1959) "Dermal Toxicity" In: Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics. Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, p.47:

Primary Irritation Index	Classification of Irritancy
0	Non-irritant
> 0 to 2	Mild irritant
> 2 to 5	Moderate irritant
> 5 to 8	Severe irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information mild irritant Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.7 and was classified as amild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were recorded.

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following guidelines:

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 'Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion' (adopted 24 April 2002)

Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Directive 2004/73/EC

Results

A single 4h semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of 3 rabbits produced very slightly erythema and very slight oedema. One treated skin site appeared normal at the 24h observation, one other treated skin site appeared normal at the 72h observation and the remaining treated skin site appeared normal at the 7 day observation.

3 min. and 1h semi-occluded applications of the test substance to intact skin of one rabbit produced no evidence of skin irritation.

Conclusion

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.7 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to Draize classification scheme.
