Very slight oedema only was observed in one intact and three abraded sites.
Very slight erythema with and without very slight oedema was observed in three intact and four abraded sites at the 72 hours reading.
Discolouration of the skin consisting of blanching and subsequent scab formation was observed in the intact and abraded sites of one animal, and slight hyperkeratinization in the abraded site of one other animal at the 72 hours reading .
One animal did not show any observable response to treatment throughout the 72 hours observation period.

* The scores for 48 hrs were not measured during the test and not reported in the report.

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information According to the CLP Regulation. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Non irritating.

Executive summary:

Method

The skin irritation potential was assessed with test procedure indicated in the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the U.S.A., Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41.

Results

Primary irritation index was estimated to be 1.1, therefore, according to the ETAD subcommittee for Toxicology classification, the substance resulted slightly irritant.

Discussion and conclusion

The scoring system criteria used to record the skin reactions followed in the current test is the same of the OECD scoring system, therefore it is possible to re-evaluate the results according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), because the raw tables of skin reactions are included into the study report.

Despite the reaction scores at 48 hours were not reported, the mean value scored is reasonably expected to be less than 2.3 for erythema/eschar and for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

In conclusion, the test item can be classified as NON irritating, according to the CLP (EC 1278/2008) Regulation.

Additional information

SKIN IRRITATION

The skin irritation potential was assessed following the test procedure indicated in the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the U. S. A., Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41. The primary irritation index was estimated to be 1.1, therefore, according to the ETAD subcommittee for Toxicology classification, the substance resulted slightly irritant.

Despite the reaction scores at 48 hours were not reported, the mean value scored is reasonably expected to be less than 2.3 for erythema/eschar and for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

In conclusion, the substance can be considered as non skin irritant (Kynoch R., Ligget P., 1975).

A second study is available; it was performed according to OECD 404 and confirms the outcomes of the key study. Nevertheless, in this case the substance was tested in diluted solution, with a concentration of 34 %.

EYE IRRITATION

The eye irritation potential was assessed following the test procedure indicated in the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the U. S. A., Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.42. Main Draize score was 1.1, therefore, according to the ETAD subcommittee for Toxicology classification, the substance resulted non irritant.

In conclusion, the test item can be classified as non irritating, according to the CLP (EC 1278/2008) Regulation.

Even though the test substance concentration was low, further two studies are available and support the conclusion of the key study. The first one was performed according to OECD 405 and confirms the outcomes of the key study; in this case the substance was tested in diluted solution, with a concentration of 34 % (Zapatero et al, 1992). In the case of the second one, only a summary of the test with limited details is available. In this case the substance concentration was only of the 33 % (Benz et al, 1972).

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:

The test procedure cannot be subsumed under a testing guideline, nevertheless are scientifically acceptable.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:

The test procedure cannot be subsumed under a testing guideline, nevertheless are scientifically acceptable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), 3.2 Skin corrosion/irritation section, skin irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4 hours.

In all the studies available, the mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in at least 2 of 3 animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions.

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) substances that have the potential to induce reversible eye irritation are classified in Category 2 (irritating to eyes) if, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or iritis ≥ 1, and/or conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2, 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.

The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for irtitis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and oedema, in all animals.

In conclusion, the available experimental data are adequate for classification and labelling and the substance is not classified for the eye and skin irritation, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
