Additional information

Skin irritation

No skin reaction was noted at any reading 1, 24, 48, or 82 h after semiocclusive dermal exposure to 0.5 g of the test substance (80% aqueous formulation) for 4 h in any of 3 White Vienna rabbits (BASF 1987).

Eye irritation

In three White Vienna rabbits the instillation of 0.1 mL of the test substance (80% aqueous formulation into the conjunctival sac of one eye caused reddening (grade 2) and slight to well-defined swelling (grade 1-2) 1 & 24 hours after application (no washing). There were severe effects noted on cornea and iris. The test substance showed a risk of serious eye damage (BASF 1987).


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

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only available study

Effects on eye irritation: highly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available studies data on skin and eye irritating properties the test item would have to be classified as not irritating to skin but as eye irritant Cat. 1 (H318) according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
