Form of application: To the intact, shorn skin in the dorsal region of the trunk (area 25 cm2). Type and duration of the signs of irritation: One hour after the removal of the plaster the skin of the animals revealed hardly perceptible to clearly outlined erythema. Very slight oedema was observed in two animals. 24 to 48 hours after the removal of the plaster the skin still exhibited hardly perceptible erythema. 72 hours after the removal of the plaster, all of the animals were free from signs of irritation.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Clear conjunctival chemosis was observed in the animals one hour p.a. Due to dye depositions, conjunctival redness and inflammation of the iris could not be assessed at this point in time. In addition, a lilac efflux caused by the substance occurred. 24 h p.a. the conjunctivae of all of the animals exhibited clear hyperaemia in some blood vessels and slight chemosis. The iris was reddened. As from 24 h p.a. all of the animals were free from signs of irritation. In addition to the signs of irritation which occurred, as from 24 h p.a. the iris, conjunctivae and nictitating membrane, and as from 48 hours p.a. the eyeball too, were discolored by the substance.
Interpretation of results:
other: not classified under Regulation 1272/2008
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance was tested for eye irritation following OECD 405. Under the experimental conditions the substance did not show any eye irritation properties
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for eye irritation following OECD 405. Under the experimental conditions the substance did not show any eye irritation properties

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

The analogue substance was tested for skin and eye irritation following OECd 404 and 405 respectively (NONS dossier, 1988). In vivo results are available showing no irritating potential for skin and eye.

Based on the read across considerations the same results apply to the test item.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Under Regulation 1272/2008:

a substance is classified as skin irritant Cat 2:

1) Mean value of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0 for erythema/ eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or

2)Inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or

3) In some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above.

 

A substance is classified as:

Eye irritant Cat 2: if at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:

1)    corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or

2)    2) iritis ≥ 1, and/or

3)     conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or

4)     conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2

5)    calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material, and which fully reverses within an observation period of 21 days

Based on the results of the in vivo studies performed on the analogue substance and the read across considerations, the substance is not classified for skin and eye irritation
