- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
The fur on the backs of six rabbits was clipped the day before dosing. One-half milliliter of the test material was applied to each of two intact and two abraded sites on the back of each rabbit. Epidermal abrasions (cross-hatching) were made with a hypodermic needle penetrating the stratum corneum over areas of approximately one square inch. After application, each treated site was covered with a gauze patch secured by porous tape. The trunk of each animal was loosely wrapped in a sheet of plastic film, and paper towels were wrapped around the plastic to prevent tearing. A collar was also placed on each animal to protect the wrappings during the exposure period.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): After a four-hour exposure period, the wrappings and collars were removed, and the skin was wiped with gauze pads moistened with mineral oil, followed by dry gauze to remove any remaining test material.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours
SCORING SYSTEM:
Irritation was scored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the test material and at 7 and 14 days, using a modified scoring method of Draize et al.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The test material caused well-defined to severe erythema with no to moderate edema within one hour after unwrapping. Irritation increased to severe erythema and eschar formation with well-defined to severe edema at 24 through 72 hours. Cracking was observed on one animal at 72 hours. Severe erythema, eschar, cracking, a thin layer of light brown necrotic skin and thick light brown flakes were present on Day 7 with slight edema observed in one animal. At 14 days, well-defined to severe erythema, with eschar, a thin layer of light brown necrotic skin, thick light brown flakes, sloughing, alopecia and thin fur regrowth were present. There were no consistent differences between intact and abraded skin.
- Other effects:
- Microscopic findings included acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and subacute inflammation in all sites. Epidermal exudate was also observed. These findings are considered to be compound-related and indicate mild dermal irritation.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Based on the primary irritation score of 6.2, this test material is considered to be a severe skin irritant. Compound-related microscopic observations occurred at all treated sites.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on a primary irritation score of 6.2, the test material is considered to be a severe skin irritant. There were compound-related microscopic observations at all treated sites.
The mean value of the scores for erythema and edema formation for 24, 48 and 72 hours was calculated to be 3.5 and so will be classified as irritating according to the dangerous substances directive, 67/548/EEC. - Executive summary:
One-half milliliter of the test material was applied to two intact and two abraded areas on the back of each of six rabbits for four hours. The primary irritation score was 6.2. Erythema and edema were observed one hour after unwrapping. Severe erythema vas observed at 24 hours and persisted in some cases through Day 14; edema was present through Day 7.
Other signs of severe skin irritation were also observed; there were no significant differences between intact and abraded sites. Compound-related microscopic findings included acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and subacute inflammation in all sites. Epidermal exudate was also observed.
Based on a primary irritation score of 6.2, the test material is considered to be a severe skin irritant. There were compound-related microscopic observations at all treated sites. The mean value of the scores for erythema and edema formation for 24, 48 and 72 hours was calculated to be 3.5 and so will be classified as irritating according to the dangerous substances directive, 67/548/EEC.
