Executive summary:

An skin irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in an in vivo study performed equivalent to OECD guideline 404. A 50% solution of the test substance in water was applied to the shaved skin of two Vienna White rabbits. The test was performed under occlusive conditions for an exposure period of 20 hours. The skin was scored for signs of irritation after 24 hours and 8 days. Under the conditions of this test no indication of skin irritation was observed.
The performed skin irritation test showed some deviations from the OECD guideline 404. For example the test item was tested under occlusive instead of semi-occlusive conditions. Further, an exposure period of 20 hours instead of 4 hours was applied. The named deviations from the OECD guideline 404 represents a tightening of the test conditions. Based on the results of this test, the test substance is considered not irritating to the skin.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, test substance causes serious eye damage.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in a study performed equivalent to OECD guideline 405. The unchanged test substance (50 mg) was applied to the eyes of two Vienna White rabbits. The test substance was not removed and the eyes were assessed for irritation after 10 min, 1 h, 2 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, 7d and 8 days. The application of the undiluted substance caused irreversible damage to the eyes of the rabbits. After 8 days the eyes of both animals showed severe edema, as well as corrosion and ulceration were observed. Based on the study results, the test substance causes serious eye damage and has to be classified as eye damaging cat. 1, H318.

Additional information

Skin irritation: 
An skin irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in an in vivo study performed equivalent to OECD guideline 404. A 50% solution of the test substance in water was applied to the shaved skin of two Vienna White rabbits. The test was performed under occlusive conditions for an exposure period of 20 hours. The skin was scored for signs of irritation after 24 hours and 8 days. Under the conditions of this test no indication of skin irritation was observed.
The performed skin irritation test showed some deviations from the OECD guideline 404. For example the test item was tested under occlusive instead of semi-occlusive conditions. Further, an exposure period of 20 hours instead of 4 hours was applied. The named deviations from the OECD guideline 404 represents a tightening of the test conditions. Based on the results of this test, the test substance is not considered irritating to the skin.
Additionally, a disseminated dossier for the characteristically similar substance, 3,6-bis(ethylamino)-9-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-2,7-dimethylxanthylium chloride (CAS 3068-39-1) is available on the ECHA Homepage. Based on the QSAR Toolbox (version 4.2) similarity options, both substances share a very high degree of similarity with a similarity value of 92.54%. For CAS 3068-39-1 a primary skin irritation study according to OECD guideline 404 is available. Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not considered to cause corrosion or irritation to the skin. Thus, the skin irritation data of CAS 3068-39-1 supports the skin irritation result for the test substance (CAS 989-38-8).

Eye irritation: 

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in a study performed equivalent to OECD guideline 405. The unchanged test substance (50 mg) was applied to the eyes of two Vienna White rabbits. The test substance was not removed and the eyes were assessed for irritation after 10 min, 1 h, 2 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, 7d and 8 days. The application of the undiluted substance caused irreversible damage to the eyes of the rabbits. After 8 days the eyes of both animals showed severe edema, as well as corrosion and ulceration were observed. Based on the study results, the test substance causes serious eye damage and has to be classified as eye damaging cat. 1, H318.
Additionally, a disseminated dossier for the characteristically similar substance, 3,6-bis(ethylamino)-9-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-2,7-dimethylxanthylium chloride (CAS 3068-39-1) is available on the ECHA Homepage. Based on the QSAR Toolbox (version 4.2) similarity options, both substances share a very high degree of similarity with a similarity value of 92.54%. According to study data with CAS 3068-39-1, the substance is also damaging to the eyes. Thus, the eye irritation data of CAS 3068-39-1 supports the eye irritation result for the test substance (CAS 989-38-8).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on skin and eye irritation/corrosion, the test item is classified as eye damaging cat. 1, H318 (Causes serious eye damage) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
