Irritant / corrosive response data:
A very slight or well-defined erythema was observed in all animals from day 1 up to day 9 or 10. A slight oedema was noted in two animals on day 1 only. Dryness of the skin was recorded in all animals from day 4or 5 up to day 1 or 11. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.3, 1.3 and 2.0 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for oedema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
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) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

In this study, 3 rabbits were subjected to a 4h dermal (shaved) exposure of 0.5 ml of ECOLANE 90 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.  A very slight or well-defined erythema was observed in all animals from day 1 up to day 9 or 10. A slight oedema was noted in two animals on day 1 only. Dryness of the skin was recorded in all animals from day 4 or 5 up to day l or 11.  Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.3, 1.3 and 2.0 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for oedema.  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) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
