Description of key information
Skin irritation: OECD Guideline 404 and EU Method B.4. GLP study. The test item was determined to be not irritating to the skin. Test performed with 3 New Zealand White rabbits for which the observed effects were: mean 24 -72 erythema scores of 1.7, 0.0 and 0.0 and mean 24 -72h oedema scores of 0.0, 0.0, 0.0.
Eye irritation: OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5. GLP study. The test item was determined to be not irritating to eye. Test was performed with 3 New Zealand Whithe rabbits for which the observed effects were: mean 24 -72h scores of corneal opacity, iris and chemosis of conjuctiva as 0.0 for all three animals; mean 24 -72h scores of redness of conjuctiva was 0.0 for one animal and 0.3 for the other two (fully reversible after 48 hour).

- Executive summary:
An in-vivo skin irritation test was performed according to OECD Guideline 404 and EU Method B.4 (GLP study). About 24 hours before the start of the study the hair in the dorsal region of the body of 3 New Zealand White rabbits was removed with an electric clipper. Each animal was treated with 0.5 g test item pasted with 0.1 mL PEG 400. The substance was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster. The plaster was fixed to the prepared skin area and the covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. After 4 hour of exposure, all remmanents were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water. Examinations of the skin took place after 30 -60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after removal. Erythema and oedema were evaluated numerically according to the technique of DRAIZE. From 30 minutes up to 72 hours after removal of the patches one animal showed a very slight to well-defined erythema (24 -72h mean erythema score of 1.7 and oedema score of 0.0), which was fully reversible after 7 days. 30 minutes after removal all the patches a barely perceptible erythema was noted at the skin of another animal 24 hours p.a. the irritation was reversible (24 -72h mean erythema and oedema score of 0.0). No irritation was observed at the skin of the 3rd animal. Based on the results of this study, the test item was not irritating to the skin.

SCORING SYSTEM: The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after installation of one drop of 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution. Lesions in cornea, iris or conjunctivae were graded numerically. All other changes or toxic effects were recorded.

- Executive summary:
An in-vivo eye irritation test was performed according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5 (GLP study). 100 mg of test item was applied once to the conjuctival sac of the left eye of tree rabbits. 24 hours after application and at all the other designated examination times at which the treated eyes still showed discharge or at which a corneal examination with fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out throughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37 ºC. The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesiones under UV light after installation of one drop of 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution.

Additional a clear colourless discharge was observed. Based on these results, the test item was determined to be not irritating to the eye.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation: Based on the available data (mean scores of < 2,3 for erythema/eschar or for oedema), the substance is not classified for skin irritation according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
Eye irritation: Based on the available data (mean scores of <1 for corean opacity or iritis and <2 for conjunctival redness or oedema), the substance is not classified for eye irritation according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
