- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The observed skin irritation consisted of slight eschar formation, fissuring of the skin and severe oedema in all three animals. The skin irritation had not resolved completely within the study period (22 days) in all three animals.
Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were observed in animals No. 689 and 711 and very slight erythema only was observed in animal No. 710 on day 22.
There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin. - Other effects:
- No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occured.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, test material is classified as H315 "Causes Skin Irritation" Category 2 according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of test material was applied on the clipped skin of the dorsal flank area of 3 female New Zealand rabbits. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours, followed by seven observations at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after removal of dressings and remaining test substance.
The observed skin irritation consisted of slight eschar formation, fissuring of the skin and severe oedema in all three animals. The skin irritation had not resolved completely within the study period (22 days) in all three animals.
Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were observed in animals No. 689 and 711 and very slight erythema only was observed in animal No. 710 on day 22.
There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin.
The individual mean scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 3.3 / 2.7 / 3.3 for erythema and 3.7 / 3.7 / 3.7 for oedema.
Under the test conditions, test material is classified as H315 "Causes Skin Irritation" Category 2 according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Instillation of the test substance into one eye of each of three female albino rabbits affected the iris and conjunctivae of all three animals. The injection of the iris had resolved within 24 hours and the irritation of the conjunctivae had resolved within 7 days in all three animals.
Treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the animals.
There was no evidence of ocular corrosion. - Other effects:
- No toxic symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occured.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test material is classified as H319 "Causes serious eye irritation" Category 2 according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and Category 2B according to the GHS.
- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into one eye of 3 female New Zealand White rabbits following a sequential testing strategy. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after application, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days after treatment and graded according to the Draize method.
Instillation of the test substance into one eye of each of three female albino rabbits affected the iris and conjunctivae of all three animals. The injection of the iris had resolved within 24 hours and the irritation of the conjunctivae had resolved within 7 days in all three animals.
Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0 / 0 / 0 for cornea score; 0 / 0 / 0 for iris score; 1.7 / 2.0 / 2.0 for conjunctivae score and 0.7 / 0.7 / 1.0 for chemosis score.
Under the test conditions, the test material is classified as H319 "Causes serious eye irritation" Category 2 according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and Category 2B according to the GHS.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

Additional information
Skin irritation/corrosion:
A key study was identified (NOTOX 1991, rel. 1). This dermal irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP.
The observed skin irritation consisted of slight eschar formation, fissuring of the skin and severe oedema in all three animals. The skin irritation had not resolved completely within the study period (22 days) in all three animals.
Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were observed in two animals and very slight erythema only was observed the remaining animal on day 22.
There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin.
The individual mean scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 3.3 / 2.7 / 3.3 for erythema and 3.7 / 3.7 / 3.7 for oedema.
Eye irritation:
A key study was identified (NOTOX 1991, rel. 1). This eye irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP.
Instillation of the test substance into one eye of each of three female albino rabbits affected the iris and conjunctivae of all three animals. The injection of the iris had resolved within 24 hours and the irritation of the conjunctivae had resolved within 7 days in all three animals.
Individual mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0 / 0 / 0 for cornea score; 0 / 0 / 0 for iris score; 1.7 / 2.0 / 2.0 for conjunctivae score and 0.7 / 0.7 / 1.0 for chemosis score.
