Justification for type of information:
Read-across data is presented from quaternary ammonium compounds, C12-18-alkylbis(hydroxyethyl)methyl, chlorides, CAS Number 71808-53-2, EC Number 276-038-9. This substance is considered to be close enough in structural integrity to the target substance, bis(2 -hydroxyethyl)oleylmethylammonium chloride, CAS Number 18448 -65 -2, EC Number 242 -332 -0, so as to justify valid read-across.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Initial test in animal no. 1: The examination of the test site immediately after the patch removal revealed erythema grade 1 and oedema grade 1 for the 3 min exposure, erythema grade 1 and oedema grade 2 for the 1 hour exposure and erythema grade 2 and oedema grade 3 for the 4 hour exposure.
The subsequent clinical observations showed irritant effects for the 3 min exposure and corrosive effects for the 1 hour and 4 hours exposure, which were not reversible within the observation period of 14 days.
Irritant effects were observed on the intact skin of one female rabbit (strain NZW) after a contact time of 3 min (Tables), corrosive effects were observed on the intact skin of one female rabbit after a contact time of 1 hour and 4 hours. These signs of irritation / corrosion were not reversible within the observation period of 14 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item C12-18-alkylbis(hydroxyethyl)methyl, chloride (77% in isopropyl alcohol) to one rabbit at a dose of 0.5 g for 3 min exposure showed irritant effects, for 1 hour and 4 hours exposure showed corrosive effects which were not fully reversible within the observation period.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation / corrosion potential of the test substance, Quaternary ammonium compounds, C12-18-alkylbis(hydroxyethyl)methyl, chlorides, CAS Number 71808 -53 -2, EC Number 276 -038 -9, was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) / EU Method B.4 (Acute Toxicity: Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) / EPA OPPTS 870.2500 (Acute Dermal Irritation).

This substance is considered to be close enough in structural integrity to the target substance, bis(2 -hydroxyethyl)oleylmethylammonium chloride, CAS Number 18448 -65 -2, EC Number 242 -332 -0, so as to justify valid read-across.

The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item C12-18-alkylbis(hydroxyethyl)methyl, chloride (77% in isopropyl alcohol) to one rabbit at a dose of 0.5 g for 3 min exposure showed irritant effects, for 1 hour and 4 hours exposure showed corrosive effects which were not fully reversible within the observation period.
