Irritant / corrosive response data:
Exposure to the test article produced iritis in 5/6 test eyes at the 1 hour scoring interval. The iridal irritation resolved completely in all animals at the 24 hour scoring interval. Conjunctivitis (redness, swelling and discharge) was noted in 6/6 test eyes at the 1 hour scoring interval. The conjunctival irritation diminished during the remainder of the testperiod and resolved completely in all animals by study day 10. No corneal opacity, iritis or conjunctivitis was observed in the control eyes.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Skin irritation:

In a test conducted similar to OECD TG 404, single doses of 0.5 g test substance moistened with saline were applied to the clipped skin or New Zealand White rabbits. Additionally, 0.5 g of test substance was applied on one half of the shorn area where the epidermis had been scarified. The exposure time was 24 hrs. The resulting reactions were evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 hrs after application. The dermal irritation was scored and recorded according to the system of Draize.

Following application to the intact skin, only one animal exhibited erythema of intact skin 24 hrs after application, this reaction was resolved at the 48 hour time point. No edema was observed in any of the animals at 24, 48 or 72 hrs after application.

Following application to scarified skin, 4 of 6 animals exhibited erythema 24 hrs after application. Erythema was still observed 48 hrs after application in one of those animals. No oedema was observed in any of the animals at 24, 48 or 72 hrs after application.

Eye irritation:

Two studies are available regarding eye irritation.

A test for irritation of eyes was carried out by applying single doses each of 0.0690 g of test substance into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits (4 males and 2 females). The eyes of the rabbits were rinsed using 0.9% physiological saline following macroscopic observations at the 24-h scoring interval. The resulting reactions were evaluated at 1, 24. 48 and 72 hrs after the treatment and at d 7 and 10 after application. The Draize scale was used to assess the degree of irritation.

Exposure to the test article produced iritis in 5 of 6 animals at the 1-h scoring interval. The irritation resolved completely in all animals at the 24 h scoring interval. Conjunctivitis (redness, swelling and discharge) was noted in 6 of 6 animals at the 1-h scoring interval. The conjunctival irritation diminished during the remainder of the test period and resolved completely in all animals by study d 10. The maximum conjunctiva score observed at 24/48/72 hrs was 1, the maximum chemosis score observed in this interval was 0.6.

A test for irritation of eyes was carried out by applying single doses each of 0.1 g test substance premixed with one drop of 0.9% NaCl-solution into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 9 New Zealand rabbits. 1 min after the application of the test substance the eye of 3 animals was flushed with physiological sodium chloride solution. The eye of the remaining 6 animals was flushed after 24 hrs. The resulting reactions were evaluated at 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the treatment. A scale similar to the system of Draize was used to assess the degree of irritation.

In the rabbits whose eyes were rinsed 24 hrs after the application of the test substance following signs were observed: slight signs of irritation at iris (3/6 animals at 1 h scoring interval, no iritis was observed at 24/48/72h scoring interval), slight redness or redness of the conjunctivae (5/6 animals at 1 h scoring interval, 6/6 animals at 7 h scoring interval, 4/6 animals at 24 h scoring interval and 1/6 animals at 48 h scoring interval, maximum score in 24/48/72h interval was 0.6 in animal #5), swelling of lids and nictitating membranes (5/6 animals at 1 h scoring interval, 1/6 animals at 7 h scoring interval) and discharge with moistening of the lids (6/6 animals at 1 h scoring interval, 1/6 animals at 7 h scoring interval). Corneal opacity was not observed at any time point. All animals had recovered on d 3.

In the rabbits whose eyes were rinsed one minute after the application of the test substance the same signs of irritation at iris and conjunctivae were observed but fewer animals were involved. All those animals had recovered on d 2.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP), no classification for skin and eye irritation is warranted.
