At the one hour reading very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed in three rabbits. One of these rabbits still showed a very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 24 and 48 hour observations and another rabbit of these three rabbits showed the same reaction at the 24, 48, and 72 hours observations.
Lastly, one rabbit only showed very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 48 hour observation.
Apart from that no signs of skin reaction were recorded.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS:100%, 25 %, 10 %, 5 %, and 1 % (w/w) plus vehicle

No signs of skin irritation were recorded.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating to the skin based on an in vivo study (OECD 404).
According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance does not require classification as skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 404 (1992). A single dose of 0.5 mL of the undiluted substance was applied to the skin of four female Mol: Russian rabbits and covered semi-occlusive for an exposure period of 4 hours. The test sites were examined for skin reactions after test item treatment and scored according to the Draize scale after 30 minutes as well as 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the examination 1 hour after dosing cornea was slightly affected in one rabbit. Furthermore, at the 1 hour observation moderate conjunctival redness and slight chemosis were obesrved in three rabbits and slight conjunctival redness and moderate chemosis were observed in one rabbit.
24 hours after dosing cornea was slightly affected in all four rabbits. Moderate to severe chemosis as well as moderate to severe conjunctival redness were observed in all rabbits at the 24 hours observation. At the 48 hour observation slight to moderate chemosis as well as severe conjunctival redenss were observed in all rabbits. At the 72 hour observation slight chemosis was observed in three rabbits and severe conjunctival redness in all rabbits.
The area of opacitiy ranged from more than one quarter up to the whole area at the 24 hour observation and less in severity at the following observations. Discharge fully disappeared by day 7.
Iris was only slightly affected in one rabbit. Moderate discharge was observed at the 1 hour observation and moderate to severe discharge was observed at the 24 hour observation. Slight discharge was only observed in one rabbit at the 48 and 72 hour observations.
After 7 day all ocular effects had recovered.
Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is irritating to the eyes.
According to the EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance is classified as an eye irritant (Category 2; H319).
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 405 (1987). A single dose (0.1 mL) of the neat substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of four Mol:Russian rabbits. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. Ocular reactions were assessed according to the Draize scale 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours as well as 7 days after treatment with the substance. Twenty-four hours after the treatment with the test item an examination was performed before and after instillation of oculoguttae fluoresceini.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation

The substance does not possess a skin irritation potential based on an in vivo OECD 404 test and does not require classification as skin irritant according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptations.

Eye irritation

The substance does possess an eye irritation potential based on an in vivo OECD 405 test and does require classification as eye irritant according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptations (Category 2; H319).
