Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test substanceTrigustral was irritating to the skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study (ECETOC Technical Report No.066), 4 rabbits were dermally exposed (semi-occlusive) to 0.5 mL of undiluted Trigustral for 4 hrs. Animals were observed for 1 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr and 7 days after patch removal. Erythema and edema were scored using the grading scale for skin irritation effects noted in Table 1.


 


The test substance caused well defined erythema in all treated animals (mean score: 2 – 2.2), slight oedema (mean score:1 - 2 ) in 3/4 rabbits and very slight oedema (mean score: 0 - 1) in 1/4 rabbit. The odema in 1 rabbit was fully reversible on Day 7 while 3/4 animals had very slight oedema remaining (max score:0.5) at Day 7. All animals had erythema still present by Day 7 (max score:2). Desquamation from the skin was observed in 2/4 animals at the 7 day timepoint.


 


Trigustral is a skin irritant based on the results of this OECD 404 skin irritation/corrosion study.
