Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The test item was administered at 0.5 g/animal, the dose specified in the test guidelines for a solid test item.

- % coverage: approximately 100 cm² (10 cm x 10 cm).
- Type of wrap if used: On the day of treatment, 0.5 g of the test item was placed on a surgical gauze patch (ca. 4 cm x 4 cm). This gauze patch was applied to the intact skin of the clipped area. The patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the
abdomen and anchored with tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, July 31, 1992 approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test item.

OBSERVATIONS:
- Viability/Mortality: Daily from delivery of the animals to the termination of test.
- Clinical signs: Daily from delivery of the animals to the termination of test.
- Body weights: At start of acclimatization, on the day of application and at termination of observation.
- Necropsy: No necropsy was performed in the animals sacrificed at termination of observation.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the measuring intervals (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.
No staining by the test item of the treated skin was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was determined to be not irritating to rabbit skin under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 404) study conducted with GLP, the test material (EC 438-340-0) was induced mean erythema and edema scores of 0.0 in all test animals (rabbit) across the 24, 48, & 72 hour observation periods. The test material was exposed to the test animals (intact skin, 4 hours) under semi-occlusive conditions. The result of the test is not sufficient to meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant under the criteria of the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
