TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Gaukler; Offenbach / Main, FRG
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals
- Weight at study initiation: male animal: 2.8 kg; female animals: 2.99 kg and 2.74 kg
- Housing: One animal per cage (type: stainless steel wire mesh cages with grating, floor area: 3000 cm2)
- Diet: Kliba-labordiaet 341, Klingentalmuehle AG, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland (about 130 g per animal per day)
- Water: tap water (about 250 mL/animal/day)
- Acclimation period: at least one week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 24
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): fully air-conditioned rooms
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h light and 12 h dark.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
The test patches (2.5 x 2.5 cm) were moistened with 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
At least 24 hours before study start, the fur was removed by clipping the dorsal of the trunk of the animals; only animals with healthy intact skin have been used. The test substance was applied in a single dose to the intact untreated skin.
- Application site: upper third of the back or flanks
- Readings: 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after removal of the test patches
- A check for general observations and mortality was made twice each working day and once on weekends and on public holidays

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hour

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained in this study and under the test conditions the test substance is not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

The potential of the test substance to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 0.5 mL of the test substance to the intact skin of 3 white Vienna rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for erythema was calculated to be 0.7, 0, and 0 for the three animals, respectively. The score for edema was 0 for all animals. The erythema observed in one animal was reversible within 72 hours after removal of the patch. Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings the test substnace does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin.
