- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The animals were dosed with 0.5 mL per prepared area.

No vehicle was used.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours per exposure
Observation period:
24, 72 and 96 hours, 7 and 14 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean erythema score for intact skin is 1.9 and the mean oedema score is 2.25.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, six, young adult New Zealand White rabbits, were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted hydrodesulfurised middle distillate under occlusion (24 hour contact time) applied to one abraded area and one intact area of skin.

 

Dermal irritation was scored according to the method of Draize at 24, 72 and 96 hours, and 7 and 14 days after test material application. One animal died on day 11 (considered unrelated to treatment).

 

The mean erythema score for intact skin is 1.9 and the mean oedema score is 2.25.

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restriction because it is an acceptable and well documented study report.
