Endpoint summary

Description of key information
The results of the skin irritation study according to OECD 404 indicate that the target substance and Category Member 2, 2-butyloctanoic acid, has a slight irritant effect on the skin of the rabbit. However, this was not of sufficient severity to require classification of the test item. That result is supported by a skin irritation study on the Category Member 3, 2-decyltetradecanoic acid.
The results of the eye irritation study according to OECD 405 indicate that the target substance and Category Member 2, 2-butyloctanoic acid, has a slight irritant effect in the eye. However, the observed reaction was not sufficiently severe to require classification of the test item. That result is supported by an eye irritation study on the Category Member 3, 2-decyltetradecanoic acid.

Additional information
The results of the skin irritation study according to OECD 404 indicate that the test item, 2-butyloctanoic acid, has a slight irritant effect on the skin of the rabbit. However, this was not of sufficient severity to require classification of the test item.
The results of the eye irritation study according to OECD 405 indicate that the test item, 2-butyloctanoic acid, has a slight irritant effect in the eye. However, the observed reaction was not sufficiently severe to require classification of the test item.
Effects on skin
irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating
Effects on eye irritation: slightly irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the classification criteria of regulation (EC) 1272/2008 2 -butyloctanoic acid has not to be classified neither as skin irritant nor eye irritant.
