Details on study design:
On the day to dosing, the hair was removed from the backs and flanks of the rabbits using an Oster small animal clipper. Each 0.5 mL dose was applied to an area of skin approximately 6.5 cm² under a secured two-ply gauze patch that was overwrapped with a gauze binder and secured with Dermiform tape. Plaxtic restraint collars were applied and remained on the animals for the duration of the exposure period. Each animal received a single, four-hour, semi-occluded exposure to the test material. At the end of four hours, the collars and bandages were removed and the sites wiped with disposable paper towels moistened with deionised water. The application sites were observed for erythema, oedema and other dermal findings approximately 30-60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal and once daily through day 11 if irritation persisted. Skin reactions were evaluated according to the OECD scoring system.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test material is not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the stamdardised guideline OECD 404, under GLP conditions.

During the study, they test material was applied undiluted on a patch on shaved rabbit skin. The exposure period was 4 hours.

The test material induced slight to moderate erythema on all rabbits and very slight oedema on four animals. Three rabbits had desquamation. There were no other dermal findings. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 11 or earlier.

Under the conditions of this study the test material was not irritating to the skin.

Details on study design:
Prior to exposure (~24 hours), a 36 cm^2 area on the both flanks of each animal was shaved. Each animal was exposed to 0.5 mL of the test material via a treated 12-16 cm^2 gauze patch applied to the right flank. An untreated (control) gauze patch was applied to the opposite flank. Patches were moistened with distilled water prior to application, loosely covered with aluminum foil (36 cm^2), and held in place with adhesive tape for 4 hours.
At the end of the exposure period, the gauze patches were removed and the skin reaction was observed at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-removal. Animals also were observed daily for signs of clinical toxicity and/or mortality. Skin reactions were evaluated according to the OECD scoring system and the irritant/corrosive potency of the test substance was classified according to EC Directive 83/467/EEC at least observation up to 10 days.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Positive reactions were observed within 7 days post-removal. Therefore, the observation period was extended to 10 days, in order to assess reversibility. Slight scaling was observed on 2 animals on day 3 post-removal; by day 7 post-removal, all animals exhibited slight scaling. All skin reactions observed were fully reversible within 10 days post-removal. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance was classified as an irritant.
Interpretation of results:
other: EU Criteria not classified
Conclusions:
Based on the test results, DOTE was a moderately skin irritant but not classified according to the regulation EC no.1272/2008 and the EU Directive 67/548/EEC.
Executive summary:

An OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) test was carried out with a mixture of DOT(2 -EHMA) and MOT(2 -EHMA). The mixture was applied undiluted on a patch on shaved rabbit skin. Positive reactions were observed within 7 days post-removal.  Therefore, the observation period was extended to 10 days, in order to assess  reversibility.  All skin  reactions observed were fully reversible within 10 days post-removal. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance was irritant.

Interpretation of results:

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test material was not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

The preliminary ocular irritation potential of the test material was evaluated in accordance with the stamdardosed guidelines OECD 405 and EPA OTS 798.4500, under GLP conditions.

During the study, single 0.1 mL doses of the test material were instilled into the lower conjuctival sac of the right eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits. The eyelids were held closed for approximately 1 second and released. Left eyes were manipulated in a similar manner as the right eyes and served as contralateral controls. The eyes of all animals remained unwashed.

The eyes were examined for ocular reactions in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing and on day 4 if irritation persisted. Sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible corneal damage at 24, 48, and 72 hours and on day 4. Postive conjunctival reactions were noted in the treated eye of 4 animals while minor conjuctival irritation was noted for all rabbits. There were no corneal or iridal findings. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4 or earlier.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material was not irritating to the eye.

Skin Irritation:

The skin irritation potential of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the stamdardised guideline OECD 404, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

During the study, they test material was applied undiluted on a patch on shaved rabbit skin. The exposure period was 4 hours.

The test material induced slight to moderate erythema on all rabbits and very slight oedema on four animals. Three rabbits had desquamation. There were no other dermal findings. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 11 or earlier.

Under the conditions of this study the test material was not irritating to the skin.

Read-across data (mixture DOTE: MOTE. 75:25) (CAS No 15571-58-1 and CAS 27107-89-7)

An OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) test was carried out with amixture of DOT(2 -EHMA) and MOT(2 -EHMA). The mixture was applied undiluted on a patch on shaved rabbit skin. Positive reactions were observed within 7 days post-removal. Therefore, the observation period was extended to 10 days, in order to assess reversibility. All skin reactions observed were fully reversible within 10 days post-removal. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance was an irritant but was not requiring classification.

Eye Irritation:

The ocular irritation potential of the test material was evaluated in accordance with the stamdardosed guidelines OECD 405 and EPA OTS 798.4500, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

During the study, single 0.1 mL doses of the test material were instilled into the lower conjuctival sac of the right eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits. The eyelids were held closed for approximately 1 second and released. Left eyes were manipulated in a similar manner as the right eyes and served as contralateral controls. The eyes of all animals remained unwashed.

The eyes were examined for ocular reactions in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing and on day 4 if irritation persisted. Sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible corneal damage at 24, 48, and 72 hours and on day 4. Postive conjunctival reactions were noted in the treated eye of 4 animals while minor conjuctival irritation was noted for all rabbits. There were no corneal or iridal findings. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4 or earlier.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material was not irritating to the eye.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to skin and eye corrosion or irritation.

Justification : There was only 1 rabbit with a erythema score of 2.3 or more (mean values of 24, 48 and 72 hours). None of 6 rabbits have a oedema score of 2.3 or more. All effects were fully reversible.
