- Conclusions:
- According to CLP (regulation EC, No 1272-2008), the test substance Acide Undecylenique is to be classified as "Eye IrritantCategory 2 (irritating to eyes)"
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test substance ACIDE UNDECYLENIQUE to induce ocular irritation was evaluated in rabbits according to OECD guideline No. 405/ and EU directive 92/69/EEC B.5. 0.1 g Acide Undecylenique was placed in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were observed for 15 days. Eye irritation was scored and mean values for chemosis, redness of conjunktiva, iris lesions and corneal opacity were calculated. Very slight to moderate conjunctival reactions were observed in all animals from day 1; these reactions persisted up to day 14 at the latest. A slight iritis was noted in two animals at day 2, it persisted up to day 4 or 10, respectively. A very slight or slight corneal opacity was recorded in all animals on day 2; it persisted up to day 4 (two animals) or 12. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance ACIDE UNDECYLENIQUE is irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits.

Additional information
Skin irritation :
During the in vivo skin irritation study, UNDECYLENIC ACID were applied on rabbits patch test during 4 hours. Skin irritating effects were observed, which lead to a classification as "slightly irritating" with mean erythema score equal to 2.35 and mean oedema score equal to 0.48. All erythema were not fully reversible, but oedema yes.
Eye irritation :
The 1999 study on eye irritation with a dose application of 0.1 ml (100mg) revealed that the test substance UNDECYLENIC ACID is irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits. Acide Undecylenique (0.1g) was placed in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were observed for 15 days. Eye irritation was scored and mean values are : chemosis (2.6/4), redness of conjunctival (2/3), iris lesions (0.7/2) and corneal opacity (1.2/4). All oculars reaction were fully reversible in 14 days.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation:
EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), acid undecylenic is classified in category 2 on skin irritation.
Justifications : mean erythema score was 2.35 (>2).
Eye irritation:
EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), acid undecylenic is classified in category 2 on eye irritation.
Justifications : Cornea opacity = 1.2 (>1), conjunctivae score (redness) = 2 (= ou > 2), chemosis = 2.6 (>2). All effects were fully reversible in 15 days.
