EXAMINATIONS<br />

- Scoring system: The reactions were scored using the following criteria: 0 =<br />

no reaction, + = weakly positive reaction (usually characterised by mild<br />

erythema across most of the treatment site, ++ = moderately positive<br />

reaction (usually distinct erythema possibly spreading beyond the treatment<br />

site, +++ = strongly positive reaction (strong, often spreading erythema with<br />

oedema).<br />

- Examination time points: 24, 48, and 72 hr.<br />

Test substance : SOURCE: Solvay<br />

Acceptable, well documented publication which meets basic scientific<br />

principles.<br />

Species : rabbit<br />

Concentration : 50 %<br />

Exposure : no data<br />

Exposure time : 4 hour(s)<br />

Number of animals : 6<br />

Vehicle : water<br />

PDII : 0<br />

Result : not irritating<br />

Classification : not irritating<br />

Method : other: revis ed FHSA procedure proposed by FDA (<strong>19</strong>72)<br />

Year : <strong>19</strong>75<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: sodium carbonate<br />

Method : METHOD FOLLOWED: Probably comparable to OECD guideline 404, as<br />

FHSA procedure proposed by FDA was used. However, description was too<br />

short to make a full comparison.<br />

DEVIATIONS FROM<br />

OECD GUIDELINE 404: Test substance was suspended in water in stead<br />

of being moistened with water; scores done at 4, 24 and 48h, instead of 1,<br />

24, 48 and 72h; most subjects were reexamined after one month; intact skin<br />

and abraded skin was used instead of only intact skin; reporting less<br />

elaborate than guideline demands.<br />

GLP: No<br />

METHOD OF CALCULATION: A primary irritation index was calculated by<br />
