Description of key information

CSB caused in animals tests no or even slight irritation on the rabbit skin (Monsanto 1973, 1982). In early patch-tests with human volunteers no irritating effects were noted (Monsanto Co 1950, 1955). CBS caused slight irritation on the conjunctivae of the rabbit eye (Monsanto 1973).


The test substance was classified as not skin and eye irritating according to the Federal Hazardous substances Act (F.H.S.A.), 21 CFR, § 191.12 (1964) (F.H.S.A.).

Slight erythema (4 x erythema grade 1.0 in 3 amimals on intact skin; 9 x erythema grad 1 in 4 animals on abraded skin) and edema (6 x edema grad 1 in 3 animals on abraded skin) were observed at 24 h after treatment. No signs of erythema or edema were visible at 72 h and the study was terminated.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study with 6 New Zealand White rabbits 0.5 g of CBS moistened with saline was applied under semi-occlusive dressings to clipped intact and abraded skin of each of the rabbits (three males and three females) for 24 hours. There were four application sites in each rabbit (two sites for intact, two sites for abraded skin). 24 hours post application, a Draize score of 0.33 in 6 animals was seen at the intact application sites which were reversible within 72 hours (Monsanto Co. 1982).

Additional information

Skin

Non-human information

In a skin irritation study with 6 New Zealand White rabbits 0.5 g of CBS moistened with saline was applied under semi-occlusive dressings to clipped intact and abraded skin of each of the rabbits (three males and three females) for 24 hours. There were four application sites in each rabbit (two sites for intact, two sites for abraded skin). 24 hours post application, 4 erythema grad 1.0 were observed in 3 animals at the intact application sites which were reversible within 72 hours (Monsanto Co. 1982). In another skin irritation study with 6 rabbits, neither erythema nor edema were detected at any time points evaluated (4 h, 24 h, 48, 72, and 168 h post-application) in any of the treated animals (Monsanto 1973).

Human information

The test substance CBS have been tested in early patch tests with human volunteers. No skin irritation was observed after dermal application for 24 hours (0/204) or 48 hours (0/196) (Monsanto Co 1950, 1955).

Eye

Non-human information

In an eye irritation test with six New Zealand albino rabbits the test substance caused slightly and transient erythema of the conjunctivae. No effects were noted after 48 hours. An irritation score of 1.8 (Draize score: 1.8/110) was indicated (Monsanto 1973).

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.
