Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Resin acids and Rosin acids, fumarated, esters with pentaerythritol is not a primary skin irritant when tested using a method similar to that described in OECD Guideline 404. Mean erythema and edema scores for 24 to 72 hours were observed 0 in intact rabbit skin exposed to the test material under semi-occluded contact for 4 hours.

Resin acids and Rosin acids, fumarated, esters with pentaerythritol 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:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Resin acids and Rosin acids, fumarated, esters with pentaerythritol based on category read across that is explained in the category justification document attached in Section 13 of the dossier.

In a primary dermal irritation study, six young adult New Zealand white rabbits were exposed to 500 mg of Bevilite 62-115 (resin acids and rosin acids, fumarated, esters with pentaerythritol) applied for 4 hours under semi-occluded contact to intact skin. Methods used in this study were compliant with current guidelines (OECD 404). Animals were then observed for a period of 72 hours post-treatment. Irritation was scored. Mean erythema and edema scores for 24 to 72 hours were observed 0 in intact rabbit skin exposed to the test material under semi-occluded contact for 4 hours. Based on these findings, Bevilite 62-115 (resin acids and rosin acids, fumarated, esters with pentaerythritol) was not considered to be a skin irritant to rabbits, and presents a low skin irritation hazard.
