Irritant / corrosive response data:
Grey/green colored dermal necrosis (attributed a Draize score of 4 for injuries in depth), surrounded by an area of dermal hemorrhage extending up to 30 mm beyond the test site, and moderate edema were noted in the treated skin site immediately after patch removal. The reactions were indicative of dermal corrosion.
The skin reactions were considered to be irreversible and indicative of full thickness tissue destruction, therefore, the animal was humanely killed immediately after the observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was classified as corrosive to rabbit skin (based on one animal).
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item following a single, 4-Hour, semi-occluded application to the intact rabbit skin according to OECD 404.


A single 4-Hour, semi occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced grey/green colored dermal necrosis (attributed a Draize score of 4 for injuries in depth), surrounded by an area of dermal hemorrhage extending up to 30 mm beyond the test site, and moderate edema. The reactions were indicative of dermal corrosion.


The skin reactions were considered to be irreversible and indicative of full thickness tissue destruction, therefore, the animal was humanely killed immediately after the observation.


The test item was classified as corrosive to rabbit skin (based on one animal).
