Administrative data

Description of key information

Relevant data are available to assess the skin and eye irritation potential of the target substance 1-Methyl-1 phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate. In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to guideline OECD 404, three female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the target substance. Based on the results, no classification for skin irritation is warranted in accordance with CLP criteria.

Supporting data is available from a second primary dermal irritation study conducted similar to OECD 404. In this study, New Zealand rabbits (3/sex) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the target substance (90.2% purity) for 4 hours. Based on the results, no classification for skin irritation is warranted in accordance with CLP criteria.

In a primary eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405, 0.1 mL of 1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate (75.6 % purity) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White Rabbits. In this study, 1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate did not meet GHS criteria and was therefore considered non-irritant to the eye.

Based on the results of the studies, the target substance can be considered non-irritant to the skin and eye.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Well-defined or moderate erythema and very slight to moderate eedema were observed in two rabbits during the first 72 hours following bandage removal. Loss of elasticity was observed in both of these rabbits during the first week of observation. The area affected by these changes extended 2-3 cm beyond the test site of one of these rabbits. On the sixth day, very slight erythema and edema were observed, with the addition of exfoliation. On the ninth and twelfth days, exfoliation was still present in both animals. The test sites of these two animals were overtly normal on the 15th day.
The remaining rabbit showed very slight erythema during the first 72 hours following bandage removal. Very slight edema was also observed at the one-hour examination. Loss of elasticity was observed at 24-hour examination, and persisted until the 12th day. Exfoliation was evident during the latter part of the first week of observation. The test site of this animal was overtly normal on the fifteenth day after treatment.
The test sites of all three animals were sticky to touch at the one and 24-hour examinations. The effect was considered to have been caused by residual dose material and adhering to the skin after the washing procedure. This occurrence did not affect the assessment of the skin responses.
The control site of each animal did not show any response to the control procedure.
The mean values for erythema in two animals and edema in one animal, recorded 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment, equaled or exceeded the EEC limit values considered to indicate a significant inflammatory response to treatment.

Mean Values for erythema and oedema are summed up in table 2 in box 'Any other information on results incl. tables'.

Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to guideline OECD 404, 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (4 months old, 3.35 - 3.60 kg) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of Trigonox 99 -C75 to the closely-clipped dorsal (6 x 6 cm) of the left site. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals were then observed for 15 days.

Well-defined or moderate erythema and very slight to moderate edema were observed in two rabbits during the first 72 hours following bandage removal. Loss of elasticity was observed in both of these rabbits during this time. On the sixth day very slight erythema and edema and loss of elasticity were observed, with the addition of exfoliation. On the ninth and twelfth days, exfoliation was still present in both animals. The remaining rabbit showed very slight erythema during the first 72 hours following bandage removal. Very slight edema was also observed at the one-hour examination. Loss of elasticity was observed at the 24-hour examination and persisted until the 12th day. Exfoliation was evident during the latter part of the first week of observation. The test sites of all animals were overtly normal on the 15th day after treatment.

In this study, Trigonox 99 -C75 is not a dermal irritant based on CLP criteria.

Conclusions:
In this study, Cumyl peroxyneodecanoate (SN-1-4462-71) is not a dermal irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (similar to OECD 404), 3 White New Zealand male and White New Zealand 3 female rabbits (2005 - 2045 g) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL Cumyl peroxyneodecanoate (1 -Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate) with a purity of 90.2% for 4 hours to 20 – 30% of their body surface. 4 hours after application, the bandage and the remaining substance has been removed from the skin. Animals then were observed for 72 h. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Slight irritation and corrosion was caused by the test substance after a 4 h dermal application.

Under the condition of the present study, no skin irritation or corrosion was caused by Cumyl peroxyneodecanoate after a 4 h dermal application. In this study, Cumyl peroxyneodecanoate is not irritating to the skin according to CLP criteria.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The eyes were not rinsed after administration of the test substance.
SCORING SYSTEM: Scoring according to the method of Draize (see Table 1 in box ‘Any other information on materials & methods incl. tables’).
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Cornea: direct examination or, if necessary, with an Ultra-Violet lamp
To determine the presence or absence of corneal opacification and to evaluate the affected area, one or two drops of 0.5% sodium fluorescein solution can be instilled into the eye (however, this must not be performed before the 24-hour reading). If corneal opacification is difficult to determine, the eye can be examined under a UV lamp (a clear fluorescence is visible in the areas of opacification).
As possible irritant effects were anticipated, the test substance was evaluated in one animal in a first assay. Since the test substance was not severely irritant in this first assay, it was evaluated in a second assay on two other animals.
A single dose of 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball.
The lower and upper eyelids were held together for about one second to avoid any loss of the test substance. The right eye, which remained untreated, served as control.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under experimental conditions, the test substance LUPEROX 188 M 70 (batch No. XX200001) is non-irritant to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD 405, 0.1 mL of 1 -Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate (75.6 % purity) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White Rabbits (approx. 2.3 kg). Animals were observed for 72 hours with examination at 24, 48 and 72 h after test substance administration. Eye lesions were scored by the method of Draize. Only very slight or slight conjunctival reactions (very slight or slight chemosis and very slight redness of the conjunctiva) were observed in all animals which were fully reversible within 72 hours at the latest.

Under the conditions of the present study, a single ocular application of the test item to rabbits produced no adverse effects on cornea, iris or conjunctivae in any animal. No mortalities nor clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

In this study, 1 -Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate did not meet GHS criteria and was therefore considered non-irritant.

Additional information

Relevant data are available to assess the skin and eye irritation potential of the target substance 1-Methyl-1 phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate.

In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to guideline OECD 404, three female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the target substance. Based on the results, no classification for skin irritation is warranted in accordance with CLP criteria.

Supporting data is available from a second primary dermal irritation study conducted similar to OECD 404. In this study, New Zealand rabbits (3/sex) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the target substance (90.2% purity) for 4 hours. Based on the results, no classification for skin irritation is warranted in accordance with CLP criteria.

In a primary eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405, 0.1 mL of 1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate (75.6 % purity) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White Rabbits. In this study, 1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl peroxyneodecanoate did not meet GHS criteria and was therefore considered non-irritant to the eye.

Based on the results of the studies, the target substance can be considered non-irritant to the skin and eye. 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results from suitable in vivo tests (OECD 404, 405), no classification for skin and/or eye irritation is warranted for the target substance.
