Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In the skin irritation study, which was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, the undiluted test material was not irritating to the skin of rabbits, following 4 hours semi-occlusive contact.
- Executive summary:
In a study performed according to OECD Test Guideline 404 (Acute dermal irritancy/corrosivity) and in compliance with GLP, the test material was tested for its potential to induce skin irritation in rabbits.
A 0.5 ml volume of the test material was applied undiluted for 4 hours to the shaved backs of three (two male and one female) New Zealand White rabbits, semi-occluded. All test sites were examined for signs of dermal irritation (i.e. oedema, erythema and/or eschar formation) and corrosivity (i.e. ulceration and/or necrosis) 30-60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours following removal of the patch. The primary Dermal Irritation Index (PDII) was calculated according to Draize criteria.
No signs of dermal irritation or corrosivity were observed in the three rabbits at any timepoint. The PDII for the test material was 0.
Under the conditions of the test, the test material was not irritating to rabbit skin.
