Executive summary:

Skin irritation of a structural analogue of the substance (1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters) has been investigated in the rabbit using methods in accordance with OECD guideline 404 (12 May 1981).

The tested substance showed a slight irritating effect and the mean Irritation scores derived from the respective erythema and edema scores for the 24, 48 and 72 hours observations were 1.56 (erythema) and 0.11 (oedema).

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The following mean values, based on the results from the 24 -, 48 - and 72 hour-readings were calculated:
Cornea opacity: 0.0
Iris lesion: 0.0
Redness of conjunctiva: 0.0
Oedema of conjunctiva: 0.0
Based on the result of this study 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was judged to be non irritating to eyes and mucosa.
Executive summary:

Eye irritation of a structural analogue of the substance (1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters) has been investigated in the rabbit using methods in accordance with OECD guideline 405.

Administration of 1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters caused no irritation reactions of the cornea or iris. Mild conjunctival redness was seen in all animals after 1 hour and mild discharge was noted in one animal. After 24 hours all animals were free of symptoms. The following mean values, based on the results from the 24 -, 48 - and 72 hour-readings were calculated: Cornea opacity: 0.0; Iris lesion: 0.0; Redness of conjunctiva: 0.0; Oedema of conjunctiva: 0.0

Based on the result of this study 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was judged to be non irritating to eyes and mucosa.

Additional information

Information on dermal and ocular irritation are obtained from data on a structural analogue of the substance (1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters).

Skin irritation was investigated in the rabbit using methods in accordance with OECD guideline 404 and the tested substance showed a slight irritating effect and the mean Irritation scores derived from the respective erythema and edema scores for the 24, 48 and 72 hours observations were 1.56 (erythema) and 0.11 (oedema).

Eye irritation was investigated using methods in accordance with OECD guideline 405 and no irritation reactions of the cornea or iris. Mild conjunctival redness was seen in all animals after 1 hour and mild discharge was noted in one animal. After 24 hours all animals were free of symptoms. The following mean values, based on the results from the 24 -, 48 - and 72 hour-readings were calculated: Cornea opacity: 0.0; Iris lesion: 0.0; Redness of conjunctiva: 0.0; Oedema of conjunctiva: 0.0.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Single study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Single study available

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification with regard to skin and eye irritation is not justified based on the observed lack of significant response in the relevant studies and taking into account the provisions laid down in Council Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP (1272/2008/EC).
