Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of ucb22060was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g to the intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the observation times (all scores O). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore O. The test item caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no other clinical signs of test item related effects were observed. Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin. Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 06, 2001 ), ucb 22060 is considered to be “not irritating” to rabbit skin.
