- Weight at study initiation: 2.7 - 3.3 kg
- Housing: animals were maintained in individual wire cages type III.
- Diet: standard diet "ssniff K 4", ad libitum.
- Water: ad libitum.
- Health status: animals were routinely inspected for health status. The animal facilities were disinfected by Zephirol (1% in water), twice a week. About 1 day before the administration, the rabbits were examined in order to assess the suitability for use.
- Quarantine: 14 days in testing laboratories.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 21 ± 2 °C
- Relative humidity: 45 - 65 %
- Air changes: ca 10 per hr.
- Photoperiod: 12 hrs dark / hrs light.

Controls:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg in water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
Three rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: the day of the exposure, the skin rabbits was clipped on the flanks.. The shaven skin involves an area of ca 6 x 6 cm.
- Type of wrap if used: hypoallergenic gauze measuring ca 6 cm2, fixed by elastic adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: with water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM
Skin reacrions have been scored according to the Draize scale.

Evaluation of skin reactions
Erythema and Eschar Formation
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4

Oedema Formation
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not skin irritant
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the irritation of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method followed OECD Guidelines No. 404.

A single 4-hour semi-occluded application (0.5 g in water) of the test material was administered to the intact skin of three rabbits. Skin reactions were recorded 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and at 7 days after administration.

Skin reactions were recorded in none of the treated animals.

Conclusion

The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions.
