Irritant / corrosive response data:
- A slight to important erythema in the 3 animals, associated with a slight oedema in two animals, was noted 24 hours after the test item application.
- The oedematous reactions were totally reversible the 3rd day of the test and the erythematous reactions were totally reversible between the 4th and the 5th day of the test.
- On the cutaneous structure, the skin recovered a normal aspect, between the 5th and the 12th day of the test.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified as irritating to skin according to the criteria of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and classified in Category 3 (mild irritant) according to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of undiluted test item was applied on an undamaged skin area of the flank of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits. On the other flank an untreated area was served as the control. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 h. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch and observations were continued from Days 4 to 14. Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the cutaneous responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.

 

A slight to important erythema in the 3 animals, associated with a slight oedema in two animals was noted 24 hours after the test item application. The oedematous reactions were totally reversible the 3rd day of the test and the erythematous reactions were totally reversible between the 4th and the 5th day of the test. On the cutaneous structure, the skin recovered a normal aspect, between the 5th and the 12th day of the test.

 

The mean scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 2.3 / 1.7 / 0.7 for erythema and 0.3 / 0.3 / 0.0 for oedema.

Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified as irritating to skin according to the criteria of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and classified in Category 3 (mild irritant) according to the GHS.

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