- PRE-EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
The skin of the back of the animals was clipped 24 h before treatment and examined for potential lesions. Since the animals showed no evidence of abnormalities, it was allocated to the test.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TEST ARTICLE
The test article was used as supplied by the sponsor. One of the animals (rabbit no. 1) was treated with 0.5 ml of the liquid test article, which was applied to the left side of the back, the untreated right side served as control. The test article was applied to a gauze patch and then applied to the skin. The closed patch exposure was effected by means of a semiocclusive bandage using Ypsiplast® (Holthaus Medical, Remscheid-Lüttringhausen), non-irritating tape Elastoplast® (Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg) and Stülpa® (P. Hartmann AG, Heidenheim-Brenz), which enveloped the whole of the animal's trunk. Exposure duration was 4 h. Since there were only a moderate response to the application of the test article, the further two animals were treated subsequently in the same manner.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring scheme as stipulated by OECD 404

- CLINICAL SKIN OBSERVATIONS
- Slight to well-defined erythema was observed in all animals 1 h after patch removal following the 4-hour exposure and was still apparent, unchanging or increasing in degree, up to day 4 or 5 after exposure. The score 3 was observed in one animal 24 and 48 h and in one animal 72 h after exposure. Subsequently, a decreased degree of erythema was observed until the reversibility on days 7 and 8 after exposure.
Very slight to slight oedema was seen in the animals between 1 h and day 5 after exposure. Additionally, slight eschar formation was observed in one animal on days 4 and 5 after exposure.
REVERSIBILITY
- The observed findings were fully reversible within 8 days after patch removal. - Other effects:
- TOXIC EFFECTS OTHER THAN SKIN IRRITATION
- No other toxic effects were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- Judgement is based on erythema/eschar and oedema calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the test material, in consideration of reversibility.
The test substance is considered to be a skin irritant Category 2 according to CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008). - Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD Guideline 404, 17 July 1992 and EU Method B.4, 29 December 1992, three White New Zealand rabbits were semi-occlusive dermaly exposed to 0.5 mL of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate (approx. 100 % a.i.) for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 8 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize as stipulated by OECD Guideline 404.
Slight to well-defined erythema was observed in all animals 1 h after patch removal following the 4-hour exposure and was still apparent, unchanging or increasing in degree, up to day 4 or 5 after exposure. The score 3 was observed in one animal 24 and 48 h and in one animal 72 h after exposure. Subsequently, a decreased degree of erythema was observed until the reversibility on days 7 and 8 after exposure. Very slight to slight oedema was seen in the animals between 1 h and day 5 after exposure. Additionally, slight eschar formation was observed in one animal on days 4 and 5 after exposure. The observed findings were fully reversible within 8 days after patch removal.
Mean values of skin reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h were ≥ 2.3 ≤ 4.0 for erythema/eschar in 2 of 3 animals.
The test substance Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate is considered to be a skin irritant Category 2 according to CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
