Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
3 male rabbits, weighing 2 - 3 kg (12 - 14 weeks old), were individually housed in metal cages, identified with ear tags, and kept at constant temperature of 20 +/- 3 °C, a relative humidity of 30-70% and at a 12 hour dark/light cycle. m They received diet and water ad libitum Body weight was recorded on days 0, 3, and 7 of the test.

Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 grams per flank of 6 cm2
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours with a semi-occlusive bandage
Observation period:
Observation was daily.
Skin reactions and signs of toxicity were recorded at 1 hour, 24, 48, 72 hours , and daily afterwards,
Number of animals:
three male rabbits
Details on study design:
Irritation / corrosion was classified according to EEC guideline 83/467/1983 (Appendix 2).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Although there was erythema in 2/3 animals and oedema in 1/3 animals with a minimum score of 1, the mean value was below the threshold for classificaiton and labelling
Executive summary:

Although there was erythema in 2/3 animals and oedema in 1/3 animals with a minimum score of 1, the mean value was below the threshold for classification and labelling; the product TK 10884/1 is minimally irritating to skin
