Additional information
The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated similar to OECD test guideline no 404 using short exposure periods as described for potentially corrosive matter.
The test item (0.5 mL) was applied to the intact skin of one New Zealand White rabbit under semiocclusive conditions for either 3 minutes or one hour. The scoring of skin reactions was performed at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
Skin reactions observed after 3 minutes of exposure already revealed necrotic effects within the full thickness of skin. Moreover mean (i.e. 24 -48 -72 h reading times) erythema score of 4 (i.e. maximal possible score) as well as a mean edema score of 1 was reported. After 1 hour exposure necrosis was observed, too. Mean erythema score of 4.0 and mean edema score of 2.0 was reported. All of the described effects were not reversible within 72 hours. Due to the severity of effects and irreversibility seen the test item was regarded as corrosive to skin of rabbits (BASF, 1990).Other reliable short term studies supported the finding that the test item revealed corrosive characteristics when applied undiluted to intact skin of rabbits for either 3 minutes or one hour under semiocclusive conditions. (BASF, 1985 (short term), 1958).
Moreover studies using longer exposure periods found comparable results (BASF, 1985; IFREB, 1978; Younger Labs, 1972).
For example the test item (0.5 mL) was applied to the intact skin of three New Zealand White rabbits under semiocclusive conditions for four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 30 to 60 minutes after removal of the test item and 24, 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure.
Skin reactions observed were necrosis of full thickness of skin already 30 to 60 minutes after patch removal. Moreover a mean (i.e. 24 -48 -72 h reading times and all animals) erythema score of 4.0 as well as an edema score of 1.33 was reported. Therefore the test item was regarded as corrosive to skin of rabbits (BASF, 1985).In another study the test item was found also to be corrosive when applied undiluted to intact skin of male and female rabbits for four hours under semiocclusive conditions (Younger Lab, 1972).
The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated similar as described in OECD testing guideline no 405. The test item (0.1 g) was applied into the lower left conjunctival sac of the intact eye of four New Zealand White rabbits. Reading times were 1 h, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days post instillation. Within 2 days post instillation the reading of all characteristics (i.e. corneal opacity, iris, conjunctivae redding, chemosis) resulted in maximum scores, which were not reversible within 7 days post application (IFREB, 1978).
Another study supported these findings using a test scheme slightly differing from OECD TG no.405 (i.e. lower application volume 0.05 microlitres instead of 0.1 microlitres, 72 h reading is missing) to investigate primary eye irritation in rabbits. Under the conditions applied the test item revealed corrosive characteristics as well (BASF, 1958).

Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the results of available data the submission substance fulfills the criteria to be classified as skin corrosive substance following criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as well as Council Directive 67/548/EEC (risk phrase 35). Using the most conservative results as reported in the key study the submission substance has to be classified in subcategory 1A (CLP).
According to the results of available data the test item fulfills the criteria to be classified to cause irreversible damage to the eyes (Cat. 1) following the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP). Based on the criteria set in Council Directive 76/548/EEC the submission substance as to be classified as Irritant, which causes serious damage to eyes (R41).
