OECD SIDS <strong>SODIUM</strong> <strong>CARBONATE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY Id <strong>497</strong>-<strong>19</strong>-8<br />

Date <strong>19</strong>.02.2003<br />

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

averageing the scores for abraded and intact skin with respect to e rythema<br />

and oedema at 4, 24 and 48 h.<br />

STATISTICAL METHODS: Not reported.<br />

ANALYTICAL METHODS: Not reported.<br />

Result : AVERAGE SCORE<br />

- Erythema: 0<br />

- Edema: 0<br />

For abraded skin a mean score of 1.5<br />

REVERSIBILITY: Not relevant<br />

OTHER EFFECTS: No tissue destruction.<br />

Test condition : TEST ANIMALS:<br />

No details reported.<br />

ADMINISTRATION/EXPOSURE<br />

- Preparation of test substance: No preparation<br />

- Area of exposure: Intact and abraded skin.<br />

- Occlusion: Semi-occlusive or occlusive patches used.<br />

- Vehicle: Not reported.<br />

- Concentration in vehicle: Not reported.<br />

- Total volume applied: 0.5 ml<br />

- Postexposure period: Up to 48 h, and reexamination after one month.<br />

- Removal of test substance: Not reported.<br />

IN VITRO TEST SYSTEM<br />

Not relevant.<br />

EXAMINATIONS<br />

- Scoring system: Primary irritation indices<br />

- Examination time points: 4, 24, and 48 hr.<br />

Test substance : SOURCE: Not reported<br />

PURITY: Not reported<br />

IMPURITY/ADDITIVE/ETC.: Not reported<br />

ANY OTHER INFORMATION: Not reported<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

Description too short and only referenced method, therefore no assessment<br />

can be made.<br />

17.02.2003 (17)<br />

Species : guinea pig<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: revised 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<br />

66<br />

: 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 />

averageing the scores for abraded and intact skin with respect to erythema<br />
