Description of key information
Two skin irritation studies are available. Slight irritation was noted in both studies. However, the degree of irritation was just border line in one leading to classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classifica tion, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012.
The substance was only very slightly irritating to the eyes in two apparently well conducted studies. However the degree of irritation did not meet the criteria for classification.

- Three New Zealand White rabbits supplied by David Percival Ltd, Moston,
Sandbach, Cheshire, UK were used. At the start of the study the animals
weighed 2.61 to 2.71 kg and were twelve to sixteen weeks old. After a
minimum acclimatisation period of five days each animal was given a number
unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker-pen
on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.
The animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages. Free access
to mains drinking water and food (STANRAB SQC Rabbit Diet, Special Diets
Services Ltd, Witham, Essex, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
The animal room was maintained at a temperature of 17 to 21 . C and relative
humidity of 46 to 65%. The rate of air exchange was approximately fifteen
changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give
twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness. - Type of coverage:

- Details on study design:
- On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal
flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact
epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each
rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 ml of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm
x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The
patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape
(BLENDERM: approximate size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm). To prevent the animals
interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an
eJasticated corset (TUBIGRJP) and the animals were returned to their cages for
the duration of the exposure period.
Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each
animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton
wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirits.
Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and
72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation
and scored according to the following scale from Draize J H, (1977) "Dermal
and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the

- Conclusions:
- Based on a mean erythema score of 2 and a mean oedema score of 1 and full reversibility of the effects within 14 days, the test substance does not meet the criteria for classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classifica tion, labelling and packaging (CLP) of
substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012. However, the test material would be classified as R 38 in accordance with Annex VI of CounciDirective 67/548/EEC, Relating to the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances - Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material following a single, 4-hour, semi-occluded application to the intact rabbit skin (Safepharm Standard Method Number 540.01). The method used followed the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Three New Zealand White rabbits, supplied by David Percival Ltd, Moston,
Sandbach, Cheshire, UK, were used. At the start of the study the animals
weighed 2.64 to 2.97 kg and were twelve to sixteen weeks old. After a
minimum acclimatisation period of five days each animal was given a number
unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker-pen
on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.
The animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages. Free access
to mains drinking water and food (STANRAB SQC Rabbit Diet, Special Diets
Services Ltd, Witham, Essex, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
The animal room was maintained at a temperature of 17 to 20' C and relative
humidity of 46 to 65%. The rate of air exchange was approximately fifteen
changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give
twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness. - Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 mL
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single application into the conjunctival sac of one eye
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 h
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected
test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the
aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Animals shOWing
evidence of ocular lesions were rejected and replaced.
One rabbit was initially treated. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was
instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the
lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held
together for about one second immediately after instillation, to prevent loss of
the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was
used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test material,
an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal,
two additional animals were treated. In order to minimise pain on instillation
of the test material, one drop of local anaesthetic ("Ophthaine", 0.5%
proxymetacaine hydrochloride, E R Squibb & Sons Limited, Hounslow,
Middlesex, UK) was instilled into both eyes of these animals 1 to 2 minutes
before treatment.
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24,
48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation
given in Appendix I, (from Draize J H (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests"
In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household
Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49).
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Examination of the eye was
facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. - Irritation parameter:

Additional information
In one skin irritation study, the test material produced positive criteria in 3/3 rabbits according to the EU labelling regulations, Annex VI of CounciDirective 67/548/EEC, Relating to the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances, and was classified as IRRITANT to rabbit skin (R 38 "IRRITATING TO SKIN"). However, based on a mean erythema score of 2 and a mean oedema score of 1 and full reversibility of the effects within 14 days, the test substance does not meet the criteria for classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classifica tion, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012.
In the second study, exposure to the test substance resulted in well defined or moderate to severe erythema and slight oedema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits. Scaliness was observed in all animals 7 days after exposure. The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in all animals. Sticky remnants of the test substance, which became dry remnants after day 1, were present in the treated skin-areas of all animals up to 72 hours after exposure. Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria For classification and labelling requirements For dangerous substances and preparations (Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, 27th April 1993), the test substance should be labelled as: irritating to the skin (R 38). The test substance would be classified as a category 2 irritant in accordance with the criteria for classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classifica tion, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012.
In one eye irritation study, no corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye with minimal conjunctival irritation in two treated eyes one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival redness was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. Treated eyes appeared normal at the 24 or 48-hour observations. The test substance would not be classified as an eye irritant in accordance with the criteria for classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012.
In the second eye irritation study, instillation of 0.1 ml of the test substance into one eye of each of three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness and chemosis. The irritation had completely resolved within 24 hours in two animals and within 48 hours in the third animal. Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, 27th April 1993), the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement. The test substance would not be classified as an eye irritant in accordance with the criteria for classification in accordance with Guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures Version 3.0 November 2012.
