Controls:
other: The contralateral eye served as the control.
Amount / concentration applied:

Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
The treated and control eyes of 6 animals remained unwashed. Twenty seconds after the test substance was administered, both eyes of the remaining 3 animals were rinsed for one minute with lukewarm water.

OBSERVATIONS
-Viability checks were performed twice daily.
- Evaluations of eye irritation were performed approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4 and 7 days after treatment. If there were no signs of irritation on Day 7, no additional observations were made.
- At each interval the treated and control eyes were examined and scored for ocular reactions. Unusual effects were also noted when present.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
All nine rabbits exhibited positive scores for conjunctival redness and five animals with unwashed eyes showed positive scores for conjunctival chemosis. Conjunctival necrosis was observed in three animals with unwashed eyes. A positive score for iridial irritation was observed in one rabbit with washed eyes. All animals were free of signs of ocular irritation within seven days after administration of the test material.

The individual scores are given in Table 1.

The results from the animals whose eyes were washed have not been included as part of the classification assessment.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was assessed for eye irritation according to EPA OPP 81-4. The test material is not considered to be an eye irritant and is not classified according to Regulation No. 1272/2008.
Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro eye irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo eye irritation study are available
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Skin irritation

The key study report indicated that the test material was irritating to skin as the mean erythema score was 2.0 in all 4 animals which was equal to the threshold value of 2.0 under Regulation 67/548/EEC. Within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, which uses a threshold of 2.3 rather than 2.0, this result is negative.

Eye irritation

In the key study, the test substance was found not to be irritating to eyes.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Key study that meets generally accepted scientific standards, well documented and acceptable for assessment.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Key study performed according to a guideline, with acceptable restrictions.

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance was assessed for skin and eye irritation. There was no potential for skin irritation within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP), however in accordance with Regulation 67/548/EEC the test substance is classified as a skin irritant.

There was no potential for eye irritation.
