- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS- Source: Three New Zealand White (Hsdlf:NZW) strain rabbits were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Leicestershire, UK. - Age at study initiation: twelve to twenty weeks old- Weight at study initiation: At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.18 to 2.78 kg- Housing: The animals were individually housed in suspended cages. - Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to food (2930 Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. - Water (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to mains drinking water was allowed throughout the study. - Acclimation period: At least five days.ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS- Temperature (°C): 17 to 23°C - Humidity (%): 30 to 70%Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Air changes (per hr): At least fifteen changes per hour- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- other: clipped free of fur
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIALFor the purpose of the study the test item was ground to a powder before use.The absorption of the test item was not determined.At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water, was introduced
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 3 minutes (initial animal), 1 hour (initial animal) and 4 hours (all animals)
- Observation period:
- 72 hours plus an additional observation was made at one treated skin site on Day 7.
- Number of animals:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- MEASUREMENT OF PH:The pH of the test item was determined prior to commencement of the study and found to be as follows:10% w/w aqueous preparation of the test item: pH 8.1 (immediately) : pH 8.5 (after 10 minutes)PROCEDURE:On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.One rabbit was initially treated. Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset for the duration of the exposure period.One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. Any residual test item was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, an additional two animals were treated with 0.5 g of test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water. One patch was applied to the back of each rabbit and was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a period of four hours.SCORING SYSTEM:Immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale (see evaluation of skin reactions below).Any other skin reactions and clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.An additional observation was made at one treated skin site on Day 7 to assess the reversibility of skin reactions. Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.8 and was classified as a MILD IRRITANT to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.The test item produced a maximum individual mean score of 1.7 and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
- Executive summary:
Introduction.
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:
- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
- Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008
- United States Environmental Protection Agency Health Effects Tesat Guidelines OPPTS 870.2500 Acute Dermal Irritation August 1998
- Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF), Testing Guidelines for Toxicology Studies, 12 NohSan No. 8147, amended 10 December 2002
- Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, 1992
Results.
3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no corrosive effects.
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight to well-defined erythema at two treated skin sites. Very slight oedema, light brown discolouration of the epidermis and loss of skin elasticity were
also noted at one treated skin site. No evidence of skin irritation was noted at one treated skin site during the study. One treated skin site appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation and the remaining treated skin site appeared normal at the 7-Day
observation.
Conclusion.
The test item produced a primary irritation index of 0.8 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme.
The test item produced a maximum individual mean score of 1.7 and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
