- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- water
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 72 hours
- Number of animals:
- Three males
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm [6.25 cm2]
- Type of wrap if used: material was placed under a gauze patch secured in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM, approximate size 2.5x4.0 cm). An elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) was applied over this, around the trunk of the animal.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes (gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours
SCORING SYSTEM: Erythema and eschar formation, and oedema formation, were assessed approximately one, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches. A primary irritation index was calculated by adding all of the 24- and 72-hour readings (scored using the Draize scale, see “Any other information”) and dividing by the total number of observations (i.e. six). According to the study report, a primary irritation index of zero indicates a “non-irritant”; one of >0-2 indicates a “mild irritant”; one of >2-5 indicates a moderate irritant and one of >5-8 indicates a severe irritant.
Results and discussion
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 24 and 72 hours after patch removal
- Score:
- 0
- Max. score:
- 8
- Reversibility:
- other: not applicable
- Remarks on result:
- other: see below
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No evidence of skin irritation. See attchment.
Yellow-orange staining of the skin caused by the test material was observed. Nevertheless, it was reported that this did not prevent accurate assessment of the skin responses, particularly erythema and eschar formation, for which scores of 0 for all rabbits at all time points were recorded. The study was terminated 72 hours after removal of the patches because of the lack of adverse skin reactions. - Other effects:
- No other effects or systemic toxicity were reported.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In a guideline study, to GLP, ammonium hexachlororhodate produced a primary irritation index of 0 following a 4-hr semi-occlusive application (0.5 g) to the skin of three rabbits. No corrosive effects or evidence of systemic toxicity were reported.
- Executive summary:
In an OECD Test Guideline 404 study, ammonium hexachlororhodate was investigated for irritant (and corrosive) effects following a 4-hr (semi-occluded) application (0.5 g) to the shaved, intact skin of three male White Russian rabbits. The test sites were quantitatively and qualitatively assessed for erythema (and eschar) formation and oedema 1, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after removal of the patches.
No erythema or eschar formation, or oedema, was seen at any time point in any animal. A primary dermal irritation index of 0 was calculated using the observations at 24 and 72 hr. Yellow-orange staining of the skin caused by the test material was observed. Nevertheless, it was reported that this did not prevent accurate assessment of the skin responses. No other effects or systemic toxicity were reported.
Based on the results of this study, no classification for skin irritation is required according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
