Description of key information
Skin irritation:
An in vivo study was conducted, according to OECD TG 404 (1999), to assess the acute dermal irritation or corrosion potential of the test substance. The study was conducted on three rabbits (New Zealand White). 0.5g of test substance was applied by a single topical application to the intact skin of the animal, for 4 hours under semi-occlusive dressing. The average score (24 -72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.4 for erythema and 0.0 for oedema. The skin findings were reversible in all animals within 72 hours after the removal of the patches; as such the study was terminated after this period. Under the test conditions and the findings, it can be concluded that the test substance does not cause irritating properties to the skin and therefore is unclassified under Regulation 1272/2008.
Eye irritation:
An in vivo eye irritation test was carried out, according to OECD TG 405 (1999), to assess the eye irritation potential of the test substance. The study was conducted on three rabbits (New Zealand White). The test substance was applied to one eye in a single ocular application of 0.1mL bulk volume (~46mg) while the other was used as a negative control for each rabbit. The rabbits were observed for any sign of eye irritation. The average score (24 -72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.0 for corneal opacity, iris, and chemosis whilst 0.2 for conjunctival redness. These clinical observations were reversible in all animals within 48 hours after the application of the test substance; as such the study was terminated after 72 hours. Under the test conditions and the findings, it can be concluded that the test substance does not cause irritating properties to the eye and therefore is unclassified under Regulation 1272/2008.

- At least 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed via clipping of the dorsal part of the trunk of each of the animals, those with healthy intact skin have been used.
The test substance was applied in a single dose and the test patch was secured in position with a semiocclusive dressing (test patch: Idealbinde, Pfaelzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik, Kaiserslautern; adhesive fleece: Fixomull(R) stretch, Beiersdorf AG). The test substance was then removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol (r) and Lutrol(R)/water (1:1) (Lutrol(R) E 400 = Polyethylenglycol DAB, BASF Aktiengesellschaft). - Irritation parameter:

- Endpoint:
- skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
- Justification for type of information:
- In accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex VII, column 2 section 8.1.1 (as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/863) the in vitro skin corrosion (OECD TG 431) study does not need to be conducted based on the available information allowing a definitive conclusion on the classification of the substance. An available in vivo (OECD TG 404) skin irritation study is available and data in other endpoints (such as skin sensitisation and/or acute dermal toxicity) indicates that the substance is not skin corrosive and a definitive conclusion on the classification can be made. Furthermore, in accordance with section 1.2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI the weight of evidence indicates that the substance is not skin corrosive and therefore in vitro testing may be omitted. According to ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment (Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance, R.7.2, July 2017) the study does not need to be conducted.
