Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

water

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g per animal
- Concentration (if solution): 0.5 mL of purified water used to moisten test material before application


VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): approximately 0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution): not applicable
- Lot/batch no. (if required): no data
- Purity: no data

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing.

Number of animals:

3 animals (1 male and 2 females)

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: an area of approximately 100 cm2 (10 cm x 10 cm) of the left flank
- % coverage: no data
- Type of wrap if used: T1310 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): 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 Commission Directive 2004173/EC, April 29, 2004.
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. An animal is positive when the mean score is 2 or greater. The test is positive for irritation when at least 2 animals are positive for the same endpoint (erythema/eschar or oedema).

Remarks on result:

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0. Neither alterations of the treated skin were observed, nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

Other effects:

No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred. No staining produced by the test item of the treated skin was observed. The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The application of T1310 to the skin resulted in no signs of irritation. The test item caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed. Based upon the criteria of the CLP classification, T1310 is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
