Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:
The duration of exposure was 4 hours
Observation period:
10 days
Number of animals:
3 females
Details on study design:
Hair was clipped on thedorsal area of the trunk one day before the application of the test substance. An electric hair clipper, Aesculap GH 204, with a 1 mm cutterhead was used. The test site was median on the dorsal throcal region.
A cellulose patch with 0.5 mL of the test substance, spread over an area of approximately 6 cm^2, was applied to the test site and held in place by fixing marginally with non irritating tape. The application site was covered by a dressing. Access by the animal to the application site was prevented by a plastic collar.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered not irritant according with the CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied to the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits.

The animals were examined for local reactions and for general signs.

Methods and investigations were performed in conformance with the OECD Guideline 404 and the EU method B.4.

General toxic effects: no general toxic effects of the test substance were observed.

Mean scores for erythema/eschar formation, c indicate no irritation to skin.

Scores returned to "0", i.e. normal, within maximum 10 days after patch removal in all animals.
