In all animals, at all time points, no dermal irritation was noted.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
CLP-Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
No dermal irritation was noted.
It was concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is not irritant to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The IRI project No.238237, includes an acute oral toxicity test, an eye irritation test and a dermal irritation test.

In the dermal irritation test, three rabbits were treated with 0.5 ml of 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane in a

4 -hour semi-occluded exposure. No irritation was noted following the exposure.

It is concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is not irritant to rabbit skin.

In all animals, at all time points, no irritant responses were noted.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No irritant responses were noted.
It was concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is practically non-irritant to rabbit eyes
Executive summary:

The IRI project No.238237, includes an acute oral toxicity test, an eye irritation test and a dermal irritation test.

In the acute eye irritation test, three rabbits were treated with a single instillation of 0.1 ml of the test item.

The eyes were examined for irritation, using standard illumination, at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation, using scoring system.

No corneal, iridial or conjunctival responses were noted.

It is concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is non-irritant to rabbit eyes.

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

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Under the acute dermal irritation test in rabbit, no irritation was noted following a 4 -hours semi-occlusive exposure.

It is concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is not irritant to rabbit skin.

Under the acute eye irritation test in rabbits no corneal, iridial or conjunctival responses were noted.

It is concluded that 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane is non-irritant to rabbit eyes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane does not meet the classification criteria of Regulation EC No.1272/2008 both for skin and eye irritation.
