Irritant / corrosive response data:
Severe irritation was observed in the animal 0.5 - 1 and 24 hours following application. Changes noted in the colouration and/or texture of the skin included dark and light brown, dark red and purple discolouration, blanching, coriaceousness and necrosis. Due to the evidence of corrosion (necrosis) exhibited in this single animal at the 24 hour reading, this study was terminated without testing in additional animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was considered corrosive in this skin irritation test.
Executive summary:

A study was carried out according to OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) and FIFRA 40 CFR. The study was conducted to assess the potential of a 50 % active ingredient formulation of the test material to cause irritation after one topical application to the skin of a New Zealand White male rabbit for four hours. Signs of skin reaction were observed 0.5 - 1 hour and 24 hours post application. Severe irritation was observed. Changes noted in the colouration and/or texture of the skin included dark and light brown, dark red and purple discolouration, blanching, coriaceousness and necrosis. Due to the evidence of corrosion (necrosis) exhibited in this single animal at the 24 hour reading, this study was terminated without testing in additional animals. The test item was considered to be corrosive in this skin irritation test.
