TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: clipped hair free back of six rabbis
- % coverage: one-inch square/ site

- Type of wrap if used: Each test site was covered with cotton gauze pads and secured with tape in contact with the skin for 24 h. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with rubberized cloth or other occlusive impervious material to retard evaporation of the test substance. After the 24-h exposure period, the wrappings were removed.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): No
- Time after start of exposure: No data

SCORING SYSTEM: The sites were scored after approximately 1 h for erythema and edema, using a standard Draize scoring system on a scale of 0–4 for each parameter (maximum of 8.0 Primary Irritation Index). Scoring was repeated at 24, 48 and 72 h post-exposure or until all irritation resolved.

Remarks on result:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Mild skin irritation was present on the treated area after 4 hours exposure period
Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours exposure period.
Executive summary:

Primary skin irritation study of test chemical was conducted on the intact or abraded skin of six rabbits to observe its irritation efficacy under occlusive condition. Briefly, the backs of six rabbits were clipped free of hair. Each test material was placed on two one-inch square sites on the same animal. One site was intact and the other site was abraded. Each test site was covered with cotton gauze pads and secured with tape in contact with the skin for 24 h. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with rubberized cloth or other occlusive impervious material to retard evaporation of the test substance. After the 24-h exposure period, the wrappings were removed. The sites were scored after approximately 1 h for erythema and edema, using a standard Draize scoring system on a scale of 0–4 for each parameter (maximum of 8.0 Primary Irritation Index). Scoring was repeated at 24, 48 and 72 h post-exposure or until all irritation resolved. Mild skin irritation was observed on treated area after 4 hours exposure period. The test material was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours exposure period and hence it is likely to classify as a skin irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test chemical was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours exposure period.
Executive summary:

Data available for the various test chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:

Primary skin irritation study of the two test chemicals was conducted on the intact or abraded skin of six rabbits to observe its irritation efficacy under occlusive condition. Briefly, the backs of six rabbits were clipped free of hair. Each test material was placed on two one-inch square sites on the same animal. One site was intact and the other site was abraded. Each test site was covered with cotton gauze pads and secured with tape in contact with the skin for 24 h. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with rubberized cloth or other occlusive impervious material to retard evaporation of the test substance. After the 24-h exposure period, the wrappings were removed. The sites were scored after approximately 1 h for erythema and edema, using a standard Draize scoring system on a scale of 0–4 for each parameter (maximum of 8.0 Primary Irritation Index). Scoring was repeated at 24, 48 and 72 h post-exposure or until all irritation resolved. Mild skin irritation was observed on treated area after 4 hours exposure period. The test chemicals was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours exposure period and hence it is likely to classify as a skin irritant.

Based on the data available and applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours exposure period.
