- Source: Hoechst AG breeding colony
- Strain: SPF-Albino-Himalayan, Hoe HIMK(SPFWiga)
- Weight at study initiation: 1,5 - 2,0 kg
- Housing: single cage
- Diet: ERKA 8300, ad libitum
- Water: tap water, ad libitum

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped intact and clipped scarified
Vehicle:
other: propandiol 1,2
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g mixed with 0.6 ml propandiol 1,2
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period:
72 h after beginning of treatment
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
0.5 g of the test substance mixed with 0.35 ml propandiol 1,2 and placed on a square gauze patch, 2,5 x 2,5 cm of size, was applied on a clipped/intact and clipped/scarified skin of the albino rabbit. The patches were fixed by an adhesive tape and additionally covered by a neutral, impermeable PVC film. The entire trunk of the animal was then wrapped with an elastic bandage. After 24 hours of exposure the patches were removed and the reactions were examined. Follw-up examinations were made 48 h and 72 h after beginning of treatment.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Based on the slightness and the full recovery in the majority of test animals a full reversibility of effects is expected for the remaining animal in the case of a prolonged observation period of 14 days according to effective guidelines.

Similar results were obtained for clipped scarified skin.
Other effects:
no other effects reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification acc. to (EC) 1272/2008: not irritating

This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guideline. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were examined at 24, 48, and 72 h after beginning of treatment. Mean values of the 24, 48 and 72 h readings were calculated for each animal. Only slight effects (erythema mean score: <=1, edema mean score: 0.06) below the threshold for classification were determined for the intact skin. All effects were fully reversible or expected to be fully reversible. Similar results were obtained for scarified skin. Based on these findings the test material was judged not to be irritating to skin.
