Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.9, with 2 out of 3 animals having a mean (24-72 hour) erythema score of 2.0. The average edema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.1. Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
Executive summary:

In this study, 3 rabbits were subjected to a 4h dermal (shaved) exposure of 0.5 ml of Petrepar 134 (50/50) via a semi-occluded patch. Dermal responses were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72h post-dosing and once a day for a total of 14 days according to the Draize method of scoring. Topical application of Petrepar 134 (50/50) elicited dermal responses in all animals. Well defined erythema and slight oedema followed exposure and was resolved by day 13. The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.9, with 2 out of 3 animals having a mean (24-72 hour) erythema score of 2.0. The average edema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.1. Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
