Primary dermal irritation index:  5.4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is classified as a mild irritant by the study report.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study six male New Zealand White rabbits were dosed with 0.5 mL of hydrotreated light naphthenic oil on two areas of exposed skin, one shaved and one abraded. The treated area was then covered with an occlusive dressing. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the treated skin was wiped to remove any residue of test material. The degree of erythema and oedema was recorded according to the Draize scale. A second reading of skin responses was made at 72 hours and again at 96 hours, and 7 and 14 days.

Results of the 24 and 72-hour readings were used to determine the Primary Irritation Index. The primary dermal irritation score was 5.4. Signs of erythema and oedema were seen at all across all observation periods, except day 14 day, at both the intact and abraded sites. The mean erythema and oedema scores for the 24 to 72 hour period were 2.67 and 2.67 for intact skin. For abraded skin, the mean erythema and oedema scores for the 24 to 72 hour period were 2.67 and 2.82, repsectively, for abraded skin. This study was performed during 24 hours rather than 4 hours recommended by the current OECD guidelines. Consequently, the result from a shorter exposure time will likely not cause classification of the category. Lubricant base oils (IP 346 > 3 wt %) are not skin irritants based on a weight of evidence approach.

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it is an acceptable, well-documented study report.
