Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: electric clipper
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
5 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after treatment
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: ca. 19.6 cm² (moistened test substance beneath a plastic cup of 2.5 cm diameter)
- % coverage: entire area of exposure
- Type of wrap if used: The loaded cup was fixed to the selected application site by means of semi-occlusive, adhesive tape (Leukopor, BDF, Germany). Subsequently, the entire trunk of the rabbit was wrapped with a self-adhesive-gauze (Fixomull, BDF, Germany) to maintain the cup in position and to retard evaporation of volatile substances. The gauze was additionally fastened with two strips of tape (Leukoflex, BDF, Germany).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
The dermal irritant potential of L-valine was assessed by application of the moistened product to the skin of three rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 404. No signs of irritation were seen at any point after application, thus the product is classified as not-irritating to human skin.
