Additional information

Skin irritation

A study of skin irritation was performed to a non-standard protocol. However the exposure method used in this study (24 -hour application to the interior surface of the rabbit ear) is noted to be more stringent than 4 h as specified under the current OECD guideline 404. The finding in this study that the test material is non-irritating to skin is therefore acceptable (Thyssen 1979).

Eye irritation

A study of eye irritation was performed in rabbits according to a protocol broadly comparable to the current OECD guideline 405. The test material was found to be non-irritating under the conditions of this study (Thyssen 1979).

Although the studies are not reported in great detail and are not performed in strict compliance with current guidelines, they indicate that the substance is not irritating to the skin or eyes. This conclusion is supported by the absence of findings of irritation in humans following occupational exposure. Further testing for skin and eye irritation is therefore not justified.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of these studies and the absence of findings in occupationally exposed workers, no classification for skin or eye irritation is proposed according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
