Irritant / corrosive response data:

30 to 60 minutes after patch removal, 3/3 animals showed well defined erythema (score 2) and 1/3 animals each very slight oedema (score 1) or slight edema (score 2), 1/3 animals was free of edema at this observation. At the 24 hours scoring, erythema had lessened in 2/3 animals to score 1 and worsened in 1/3 animal to score 3. At the 24 hours scoring 2/3 animals showed an edema score 1. The only skin reaction still present at the 48 hours scoring, was a erythema score 2 in 1/3 animals. Fully reversibility in all animals was reached for erythema at the 72 hours scoring and for edema at the 48 hours scoring.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Classification is based on erythema/eschar and oedema calculated as mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the test material, in consideration of reversibility.
No classification for skin irritation is justified for the "Coco AAPB (99.4 % dry solids)" according to CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).

Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to EU Method B.4 (1992) and OECD Guideline 404 (1992), 3 New Zealand White rabbits were dermally patch (2.5 x 2.5 cm²) exposed for 4 hours to 0.5 g of Coco AAPB (99.4 % dry solids) moistened with physiological saline. Test sites were covered with semi-occlusive dressing. Animals were then observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored according to Draize as stipulated in the OECD guideline.

30 to 60 minutes after patch removal, 3/3 animals showed well defined erythema (score 2) and 1/3 animals each very slight edema (score 1) or slight edema (score 2), 1/3 animals was free of edema at this observation. At the 24 hours scoring, erythema had lessened in 2/3 animals to score 1 and worsened in 1/3 animal to score 3. At the 24 hours scoring 2/3 animals showed an edema score 1. The only skin reaction still present at the 48 hours scoring, was a erythema score 2 in 1/3 animals. Fully reversibility in all animals was reached for erythema at the 72 hours scoring and for edema at the 48 hours scoring.

In this study, Coco AAPB (99.4 % dry solids) is not a dermal irritant.
