Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

A study was designed and conducted to determine the dermal reaction profile of the test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures. Ten rats (5 male and 5 female) were used for conducting dermal irritation /corrosion study. 

 The animals were kept in their cages for at least 5 days prior to administration for acclimatization to the laboratory condition and after acclimatization period, animals were randomly selected. Approximately 24 hours before application, the hair of each rat was closely clipped from the trunk (dorsal surface and sides from scapular to pelvic area) with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. The test item was moistened with distilled water. The test item was applied onto the exposed skin of the animal, taking care to spread the test item evenly over the entire area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area or as much of the area as can reasonably be covered. The test item was held in contact with the skin using a porous gauze dressing and non irritating tape around the animal to cover the exposure site for first 24 hours exposure period. Elizabethan collar was placed on each animal for first 24 hours after application of the test item. These collars prevent ingestion of test item. Following 24 hours of exposure, the wrapping was removed and the test site wiped free of excess test item. Distilled water was used to remove residual test item. 

The test chemical was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Also, the erythema and edema score of rats was calculated as 0. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. 

Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

This is supported by the results of other study designed and conducted to determine the dermal reaction profile of the test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures. Ten rats (5 male and 5 female) were used for conducting dermal irritation /corrosion study.

The animals were kept in their cages for at least 5 days prior to administration for acclimatization to the laboratory condition and after acclimatization period, animals were randomly selected. Approximately 24 hours before application, the hair of each rat was closely clipped from the trunk (dorsal surface and sides from scapular to pelvic area) with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. The test item was applied directly onto the exposed skin of the animal, taking care to spread the test item evenly over the entire area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area or as much of the area as can reasonably be covered. The test item was held in contact with the skin using a porous gauze dressing and non irritating tape around the animal to cover the exposure site for first 24 hours exposure period. Elizabethan collar was placed on each animal for first 24 hours after application of the test item. These collars prevent ingestion of test item. Following 24 hours of exposure, the wrapping was removed and the test site wiped free of excess test item. Distilled water was used to remove residual test item.

The test chemical was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Also, the erythema and edema score of rats was calculated as 0. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

Thus it can be concluded that the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to skin and classified under "Not Classified" category.

These results are further supported by the study performed on New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical. 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study. The animals were prepared 24 hours prior to application of test product. The furs from the dorsal area of trunk of animals were removed with electric clippers exposing an area measuring approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area of animal. The care was taken such that abrasion penetrated the Stratum corneum only and not dermis. 500gm (0.5g) of test compound was applied on a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of intact skin site. Each site of application was covered with impervious dressing which was secured in position with adhesive tape. The intact skin site of application of each animal was observed for signs of erythema and oedema at 60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application and the responses were scored according to Draize method.

The Primary Irritation Index (PII) for the test chemical after 14 days of observation was 0.0. Also, the test chemical did not produce pain and any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the examination period of 14 days.

Hence, under the test conditions, the test chemical can be concluded to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit skin.

By applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to skin. Comparing the annotations with criteria of CLP regulation, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified".

Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

An ocular irritation study was conducted on New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 405 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical. 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study. 0.1g of the undiluted test chemical was instilled in the conjunctival sac of rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye which remained untreated served as a control. The ocular lesions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment. The grades of ocular reactions (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weights before and during the study was observed.

The overall irritation index of the test chemical was 0.0 after 72 hours.

Also the test chemical did not produce any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the examination period of 21 days.

Hence, under the test conditions, the test chemical can be concluded to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit eyes.

This is supported by study conducted to determine the irritation potential of the test chemical on rabbit eyes.

0.2 ml of a 10% aqueous solution (20 mg) or suspension of the test material was applied twice daily, five times weekly, for four weeks to the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of a group of six or more albino rabbits (40 applications). One hour after each application, the eyes were examined for evidence of staining and the irritation was scored according to Draize.

The overall irritation score after 20 days of observation was 0.0. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

The above results are further supported by the study performed to assess the level of irritation caused by the test chemical. The test chemical was instilled in to the eyes of rabbits and observed for signs of irritation(dose, duration not mentioned). No irritation effects were observed when the test chemical was instilled into rabbit eyes. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.

By applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes. Comparing the annotations with criteria of CLP regulation, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified".
