Well-defined erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one treated skin site with very slight erythema and very slight oedema noted at one other treated skin site at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were noted at both of these treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Loss of skin elasticity was noted at two treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Moderate desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 48 and 72-hour observations and at two treated skin sites at the 7-day observation. One treated skin site appeared normal throughout the study.
- Other effects:
- Loss of skin elasticity was noted at two treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Moderate desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 48 and 72-hour observations and at two treated skin sites at the 7-day observation. No other effects (toxic effects, etc.) were observed.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test material induced slight to moderate irritation being largely reversible within 7 days of dosing.
Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/EC. - Executive summary:
In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of undiluted test material was dermally applied on the clipped skin of the dorsal/flank area of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals were then observed for 7 days for oedema and erythema.
Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the removal of the patch and on day 7.
The mean scores calculated for each individual animal tested within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were 0 / 1 / 1.67 for erythema and 0 / 1 / 1 for oedema.
Under the test conditions, the test material induced slight to well-defined erythema and very slight oedema at two treated skin sites being largely reversible within 7 days of dosing. Loss of skin elasticity was noted at two treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Moderate desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 48 and 72-hour observations and at two treated skin sites at the 7-day observation. No other effects were observed.
Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/EC.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one and 24 hours after treatment. Minimal conjunctival redness persisted in one treated eye at the 48-hour observation. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.

- Interpretation of results:

- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test material induced a slight irritation, being largely reversible within 72 hours following instillation. Therefore, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 New Zealand White Rabbit. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale.
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one and 24 hours after treatment. Minimal conjunctival redness persisted in one treated eye at the 48-hour observation. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72-hour observation
The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each individual animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were as follows: 0.3/0.7/0.3 for redness, 0.3/0.3/0.3 for discharge and 0/0/0 for chemosis, iris and corneal lesions.
The effects observed were all reversible within 72 hours.
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
A key study was identified (Sanders, 2004, Rel.1). In this dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, undiluted test material was applied on the skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. The mean scores calculated for each individual animal tested within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were 0 / 1 / 1.67 for erythema and 0 / 1 / 1 for oedema. Under the test conditions, the test material induced slight to well-defined erythema and very slight oedema at two treated skin sites being largely reversible within 7 days of dosing. Loss of skin elasticity was noted at two treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Moderate desquamation was noted at one treated skin site at the 48 and 72-hour observations and at two treated skin sites at the 7-day observation. No other effects were observed. Therefore the test material does not require a classification as irritant to the skin.
Eye irritation:
A key study was identified (Sanders, 2004, Rel.1). In this eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 New Zealand White Rabbit. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one and 24 hours after treatment. Minimal conjunctival redness persisted in one treated eye at the 48-hour observation. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72-hour observation. The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each individual animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were as follows: 0.3/0.7/0.3 for redness, 0.3/0.3/0.3 for discharge and 0/0/0 for chemosis, iris and corneal lesions. The effects observed were all reversible within 72 hours. Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available, GLP-compliant and of high quality (Klimisch score = 1)
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available, GLP-compliant and of high quality (Klimisch score = 1)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 including ATP3.
Self-classification:
Based on the available information no additional self-classification is proposed regarding both skin and eye irritation according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
