Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In the present test the mean erythema score for Galaxolide 50 DEP exceeded 2.0 (the calculated score was 2.1). The solvent in this study, DEP, scored 0.2 for erythema and zero for oedema. The irritating effect was not reversible in 7 out of in total 15 animals in these three studies during an observation period of 7 days, as at that time point still some erythema and/or oedema was seen. The substance only needs to be classified as skin irritant based on the criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC (DSD). When considering Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP), the substance should be regarded as non-irritating.
- Executive summary:
In the present study 0.5 ml of Galaxolide 50 (65% HHCB in DEP), was placed evenly over a 2.5 cm2 of surgical lint, which was then placed on the skin of each of 4 rabbits and held by an Elastoplast adhesive bandage 10 cm wide for a period of 1 hr. Scores of skin results were given after 1, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hrs. An average score (average of all 4 animals over 24, 48, and 72 hrs) for erythema of 2.1 and for oedema of 1.5 was calculated for Galaxolide. After 168 hrs erythema and oedema were still observed in 4/4 and 3/4 animals, respectively. The average score for DEP was 0.2 for erythema and zero for oedema. The substance only needs to be classified as skin irritant based on the criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC (DSD). When considering Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP), the substance should be regarded as non-irritating.
