- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Necrosis was seen in both experiments (3 min and 1 hr exposure time) in all animals after 24 hrs observation time. After 72 hrs a marked necrosis could be detected for experiments with 3 min exposure time, and a deep necrosis for experiments with 60 min exposure time.
Severe to very severe erythema were seen in all animals over all reading time points (24, 48, 72 hrs) in both experiments (exposure time 1 hr and 3 min). Consequently this effect is not reversible within the given timepoints.
Clearly visible edema were seen in all animals after 24 and 48 hrs in experiments with 3 minutes exposure time. After 72 hrs edema score still very weak edema were seen. Consequently this effects is not reversible within 72 days. The edema extend beyond the exposed area. The edema were confirmed by gross-pathological examinations. In tests with an exposure time of 60 min more severe edema (grade 3 moderate to severe edema) were seen after 24 and 48 hrs in all animals. After 72 hrs the edema were reduced to grade 2 (clearly visible). Again the edema covered an area larger than the exposure size. Within the observation time all edema effects are not reversible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The substance was shown to be corrosive under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
A test was done for assessing the corrosive or irritating potential of the test substance.
The test was done equivalent to OECD guideline 404 (adopted 1981 -05 -12) under occlusive conditions with 2 different exposure times (3 min and 1 hr). Two male and 1 female white vienna rabbits were tested per application .
After 24 hrs (1 st observation time point) necrosis was seen in all animals in both experiments. After 72 hrs a deep necrosis could be seen for experiments with longer exposure time (1 hr) and a marked necrosis for the test with shorter (3 min) exposure time. Severe to very severe erythema were seen in all animals over all reading time points (24, 48, 72 hrs) in both experiments (exposure times 1 hr and 3 min). These effects were not reversible within observation period. Additionally in both experiments edema were seen. For tests with shorter exposure time the edema were of grade 2 for 24 and 48 hrs and decrease to score 1 after 72 hrs. For tests with longer exposure time moderate to severe edema were detected after 24 and 48 hrs. These effects decreased to grade 2 (clearly visible) for tests after 72 hrs. Due to the irreversible damage to the skin, the compound is to be considered as corrosive.
