Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
In a dermal irritation study, test substance was dermally applied on the intact or abraded side surface of 6 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 h. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 and 72 h after the removal of the patch.
GLP compliance:
no

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
24 and 72 hours after application of test substance
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The back of each rabbits were clipped free of hair 24 hour before application of the test substance. Two sites were abraded and two were unabraded. The test substance was applied to the test site.
- Type of wrap if used: The test sites were covered with a gauze pad and the entire back was overwrapped with rubber dam.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- 24 hours later, the wraps were removed and excess test substance was removed and each test site was scored for erythema and edema.

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
24 and 72 hours after application of test substance

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: Draize method

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance was non-irritating to skin of rabbits, therefore it is not classified according to the annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study, 0.5 g of test substance was dermally applied on the intact or abraded side surface of 6 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 h. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 and 72 h after the removal of the patch.

 

Test substance caused a minimum amount of edema in one of the six treated rabbits at the 24-hour reading only. The total primary irritation score was 0.04.

Reversibility was not assessed.

 

Under the test conditions, the test substance was non-irritating to skin of rabbits, therefore it is not classified according to the annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.
