- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Nafag
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 8 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 +- 1
- Humidity (%): 55 +- 5
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 14 hrs light day

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:
6 rabbits, 3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
The shaved skin area on the left side was slightly scarified just before treatment. A gauze patch of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with test substance was applied immediatly to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with an impermeable foil of 5x5 cm, which was fixed to the body of the animals with adhesive tape.
FAT 11 030/A was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application the test material was wetted with tap water.
The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal during an observation period of 8 days on the basis of erythema and edema formation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: US CPSC / US FDA
Conclusions:
The original study applied criteria US CPSC/US FDA and classified the substance as "moderately irritating".
Preparation of the substance was found to cause minimal irritation (mean reaction score after 24 hours: 0.7) when applied to intact but moderate irritation when applied to abraded rabbit skin (mean reaction score after 24 hours: 2.7).
Executive summary:

6 rabbits (3 males and 3 females) of the Russian breed were dosed with substance in quantities of 0.5 g to the shaved skin area in order to find out the primary irritation index. The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal during an observation period of 8 days.
