Test system

Type of coverage:
not specified
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
50% aqueous solution of the test substance was applied to the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
exposure 4 hr
Observation period:
0, 24, 48 and 72 hr after end of exposure
Number of animals:
3 females
Details on study design:
Hair was clipped on the dorsal area of the trunk one day before the application of the test substance. An electric hair clipper, was used. The test site was median on the dorsal thoracal region. A cellulose patch with 0.5 gr of test substance spread over an area of approx. 6 cm2 was applied to the test site and held in place byfixing marginally with non irritating tape. The application site was prevented by a plastic collar. The duration of exposure was 4 hr. At the end of the exposure period the dressing, the tape with the patch and the collar were removed. residual test substance was wiped off using wet cellulose tissue.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Scores of 0 were noted at first skin observation for erythema formation and for oedema formation in all animals.
scores at reading times (24, 48 and 72 hr after the end of the exposure):
Erythema and eschar formation: only scores of 0, i.e normal scores, were observed in 2/3 animals at each reading time. In animal 302 (#2) very slight erythema formation (score 1) was noted 24 hr after exposure.
Oedema formation: In all animals only scores of 0, i/e normal scores, were noted at reading times.
Other effects:
No additional effects were noted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
50% aqueous solution of the test substance is not skin irritant
Executive summary:

A 50% aqueous solution of the test substance was applied to intact skin of each of 3 rabbits.

Study was conducted according to OECD 404 and EC guideline 84/449 (method B4).

the animals were exposed for 4 hr and observations were done after 24, 48 and 72 hr after the end of exposure.

No toxic effects were noted. In animal 302 (#2) very slight erythema formation (score 1) was noted 24 hr after exposure which was reversible.

Based on the study results, the test substance was found to be non irritant.
