Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
A single dose of 0.5ml of the test substance in its original form was prepared on a gauze patch and then applied to a 6cm2 clipped area of 3 male New Zealand rabbits.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
First of all, the test was performed using one animal in order to check that the result by cutaneous route was non-existant to moderate. The test was contined using 2 other animals 72 hours after the cutaneous application in the first animal. The test substance was held in contact with the skin for 4 hours by means of a semi-occlusive dressing. The cutaneous reactions were observed 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing and then daily in order to observe their reversibility or irrersibility.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is consiedered as irritant by cutaneous route in the rabbit.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation study was performed according to the OECD 404 guideline. -

0.5ml of the substance sodium undec-10-enoate (in a 33.2% aqueous solution) was applied under a semi-occlusive patch to rabbits for 4 hours.

The substance is considered as irritant by cutaneous route in the rabbit.
