- 4 hrs
- Observation period:
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal. Further assessments were carried out at 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 days after patch removal to determine the reversibility of responses.

- 3 males
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The hair was clipped from the dorsal area of the trunk of each rabbit approximately 24 h before treatment. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin.
- % coverage: The test and control materials (0.5 ml) were applied to intact skin on each rabbit under 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm patches of gauze.
- Type of wrap if used: Due to the volatility of the test material, the patches were covered with Sleek, an occlusive dressing, which remained in position for 4 h.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The patches were removed and the skin wiped with water dampened tissues to remove surplus test material without altering the existing response or the integrity of the epidermis.
- Time after start of exposure: After 4 hr exposure period
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days)
1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal. Further assessments were carried out at 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 days after patch removal to determine the reversibility of responses.
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: The daily scores for erythema and oedema for the test and control material at the 24, 48 and 72 h assessments were totalled and the mean was calculated. This mean value is expressed as a mean irritation score for each material. The Draize scoring system was used (Appendix).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In an in vivo skin irritation study in male New Zealand rabbits, the substance 1,2-Diethoxypropane was not irritating.
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study (8280), 3 male rabbits were dermally exposed (dorsal area of the trunk; occlusive) to 0.5mL of undiluted 1,2-Diethoxypropane for 4 hours. The substance was removed after 4 hrs with washing. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 hrs for overall irritation scores and up to 11 days for reversibility. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
The overall irritation score (erythema) for all animals was 1.33. In only 1 animal (#3) the irritation was not fully reversible at Day 11 (erythema = 1). The overall irritation score (oedema) for animal #1 was 0. The overall irritation score (oedema) for animal #2 was 1.33 (fully reversible within 10 days). The overall irritation score (oedema) for animal #3 was 0.66 (fully reversible within 8 days). The observations were not extended to 14 days. In only 1 animal (#3) was the erythema not fully reversible at Day 11 (erythema = 1). Overall, based on the CLP criteria, the substance is not irritating.
