Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Mean erythema score (24 to 72 hours) was 0.1 and mean oedema score (24 to 72 hours) was 0. In this study, rosin, maleated is not a dermal irritant.


Therefore, rosin, maleated is not classified for corrosion/ irritation in Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC. Based on the absence of any signs of irritation during the study, this material is not classifiable for skin irritation according to UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) or EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, three New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 grams of rosin, maleated (CAS 8050 -28 -0) for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Animals then were observed for 72 hours. Mean erythema and oedema scores were calucated for the 24 to 72 hour time period. Mean erythema score (24 to 72 hours) was 0.1 and mean oedema score (24 to 72 hours) was 0. In this study, rosin, maleated is not a dermal irritant.
