Description of key information
SKIN:
The acute dermal irritation potential of Trigonox 44B (CAS 37187 -22 -7) was assessed in New Zealand White rabbits (4 hour exposure, semi-occluded) under OECD 404 test guideline (key study by Rees, 1993). No dermal response was observed at anytime except slight erythema in 2 rabbits during the first 24 hours after treatment. Under the criteria of the EEC, the test substance was classified as non irritant to the skin.
EYE:
The acute eye irritation potential of Trigonox 44B (CAS 37-187-22-7) was assessed (key study by Rees, 1990) in 3 New Zealand White rabbits under the OECD 405 test guideline. Due to the severe response observed in one animal at 1 and 24 hours, this animal was humanely sacrificed. The test material was considered to be irritating to the eye with the potential to cause serious ocular damage. However, the ocular scores for the animals used on this study did not reach the EEC limit values for a positive result.

Additional information
Skin:The acute dermal irritation potential of Trigonox 44B (CAS 37187 -22 -7) was assessed in New Zealand White rabbits (4 hour exposure, semi-occluded) under OECD 404 test guideline (key study by Rees, 1993). No dermal response was observed at anytime except slight erythema in 2 rabbits during the first 24 hours after treatment. Under the criteria of the EEC, the test substance was classified as non irritant to the skin.
The test substance, compound SN4 -l38 -38 (CAS number not provided), was evaluated (supportive study by Wazeter, 1965) for primary skin irritation in the albino rabbit using what appears to be a standard technique in 1965. The results indicate that the test substance does not produce dermal irritation. The lack of explicit identity of the test item and the minimally described experimental procedure are the deficiencies of the report.
Overall, the skin irritation study results indicate that the test item is not irritating to the skin.
Eye: The acute eye irritation potential of Trigonox 44B (CAS 37-187-22-7) was assessed (key study by Rees, 1990) in 3 New Zealand White rabbits under the OECD 405 test guideline. Due to the severe response observed in one animal at 1 and 24 hours, this animal was humanely sacrificed. The test material was considered to be irritating to the eye with the potential to cause serious ocular damage. However, the ocular scores for the animals used on this study did not reach the EEC limit values for a positive result.
The compound tested in the study by Wazeter, 1965 (supportive study), was SN4 -138 -38 (hand written as D- 224, LUPERSOL-224), and is presumed to be CAS 37187 -22 -7. Instillation of the test agent into the unwashed eye of albino rabbits was evaluated (0.1 ml / rabbit) for evidence of irritation and damage. Observations were made for up to 7 days. Washing the eyes after the instillation of the test item was also evaluated. Scoring was done according to Lehman et al., 1959. The test was done with the critical elements of eye irritation testing approaches that were in practice in 1965, but no standard test guideline was cited. It was concluded that SN4-l38-38 is a severe eye irritant to the unwashed eye of the rabbit, but damage can be largely prevented by washing the eye immediately after instillation of the material. Delayed washing enhances the degree of irritation. Although the test was done with the critical elements of eye irritation testing approaches in practice in 1965, it has certain deficiencies, and thus resulted in a lower reliability rating.
Overall, the eye irritation study results, based on the Weight of Evidence, indicate that the test item can be irritating to the eye.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion
endpoint:
A well conducted and well described, relatively recent key GLP
study, according to OECD guidelines.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
An apparently well conducted key GLP study, according to OECD
guidelines.
Effects on eye irritation: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Overall, the skin irritation results indicate that the test item is not irritating to the skin. The data are conclusive, but not sufficient for classification. Overall, the eye irritation results, based on the Weight of Evidence, indicate that the test item can be irritating to the eye and meets the criteria for Category 2. The data are conclusive, and the substance is classified as an irritating to the eye.
