- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- - 1 hour after the removal of the dressing, well defined erythema (score of 2) and very slight oedema (score of 1) were observed in all animals.
- After 24 hours and until day 7, a severe erythema (score of 4) was observed in all animals. The animals showed also necrotic areas of the superficial layers of the skin (stratum corneum) while the dermis was not included. Well defined oedema (score of 2) was noted at the 24, 48 and 72 hour examinations.
- At the end of the observation period (day 14), the superficial lesions had disappeared but very slight to severe erythema was still present. Very slight oedema (score of 1) was still present in 2 of the 3 animals at the 14 day examination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP (Reg. 1272/2008/EC) and Directive 67/548/EEC
- Conclusions:
- The results of this study indicate that the test item has strong irritating effects when applied to the skin of rabbits and its effects are not fully reversible within the 14-day observation period. According to the criteria laid down in CLP (Reg 1272/2008/EC) and directive 67/548/EEC, the test material is therefore classified irritant Category 2 and irritant R38 respectively.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test material (containing 10 -15% isopropanol and 5% water to induce skin irritation was assessed in 3 rabbits according to the
OECD guideline 404 in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice regulations.A single dose of 0.5 g of test material reduced to paste with sterile water was applied to the skin of the rabbits under a semi-occlusive dressing for a 4-hour exposure period. Skin reactions were observed 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after removal of the dressing and then on days 7 and 14,in order to observe their reversibility. The mean values of the scores for erythema and oedema were calculated for each animal.
The mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for individual animals were 4.0, 4.0, and 4.0 for erythema and 2.0, 2.0, and 2.0 for oedema. After 24 hours and until day 7, a severe erythema (score of 4) was observed in all animals. The animals showed also necrotic areas of the superficial layers of the skin (stratum corneum) while the dermis was not included. Well defined oedema (score of 2) was noted at the 24, 48 and 72 hour examinations. At the end of the observation period (day 14), the superficial lesions had disappeared but very slight to severe erythema was still present. Very slight oedema (score of 1) was still present in 2 of the 3 animals at the 14 day examination.
Even if the solvent Isopropanol probably enhances the uptake of the sustance,it does not interfere with the inherent toxicity of the substance itself which must be considered as a severe skin irritant.
