Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure:small area of approx. 1 inch x 1 inch
- % coverage: 100%
- Type of wrap if used: The test article was administered under a 1" x 1" square 4 ply gauze patch. The gauze patch was held in contact with the skin at the cut edges with a non-irritating tape. Removal and ingestion of the test article was prevented by placing an elastic wrap over the trunk and test area (semi-occlusive binding). The elastic wrap was then further secured with adhesive tape around the trunk at the cranial and caudal ends.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Residual test article was removed using gauze moistened with Mineral Oil followed by wiping with dry gauze
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM
Evaluation of the results will be done according to EEC Criteria, FHSA Criteria, EPA Criteria, DOT criteria, see "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables" for details and dermal grading system.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Exposure to the test article produced very slight to well-defined erythema on 6/6 test sites and very slight edema on 5/6 test sites at the 1 hour scoring interval which progressed to focal/pinpoint to mild blanching on 3/6 test sites by the 48 hour scoring. The dermal irritation generally diminished during the remainder of the test period and resolved completely in all animals by study day 14. Additional dermal findings noted during the period included desquamation which was noted on 6/6 test sites.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The study is well-documented and was performed according to EPA OPP 81-5 (Acute Dermal Irritation), under GLP conditions. Hence, the information provided in the report can be considered reliable. In consequence, the results are suitable for the assessment of the acute dermal irritation potential of the test item. Under the conditions of this test, the test item was determined to be an irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (EPA OPP 81-5), young adult New Zealand White rabbits (2 females, 4 males) were dermally exposed to 0.5 ml of the undiluted test item for four hours to an area of approx. 1 inch². Animals then were observed for 14 days.

Exposure to the test article produced very slight to well-defined erythema on 6/6 test sites and very slight edema on 5/6 test sites at the 1 hour scoring interval which progressed to focal/pinpoint to mild blanching on 3/6 test sites by the 48 hour scoring. The dermal irritation generally diminished during the remainder of the test period and resolved completely in all animals by study day 14. Additional dermal findings noted during the period included desquamation which was noted on 6/6 test sites.

In this study, the undiluted test item is a dermal irritant.
