- Conclusions:
- Slight erythema and slight edema was caused by the test material on rabbit skin, 25 hours after the treatment (mean score 0.11, both for erythema and edema). The study report is relevant, reliable with restrictions and adequate for risk assessment, classification and labelling.
- Executive summary:
The acute skin irritation of the test material (a powder) was assessed according to a method similar to OECD 404 in six female New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance (0.5 g) was moistened with 0.5 mL deionized water and applied to the shaved skin (approx. 6 cm2), then covered with a gauze patch and semi-occlusive dressing for an exposure period of 4 hours. The application area was then cleansed with cotton wool swabs soaked in warm water, and dried with tissue paper. The degrees of erythema and edema were assessed at the following time points: 1, 25, 45, and 69 hours after the removal of the patch, according to the Draize scale. Mean erythema and edema scores were calculated from the readings at 25, 45, and 69 hours.
Very slight to well-defined erythema, and very slight to moderate edema were observed after 1 hour; these findings were still seen in only 2/6 animals at 25 hours, and completely disappeared at 45 hours. From the numerical scores of the individual animals at 25, 45, and 69 hours, the averages for erythema and edema were calculated to be 0.11 each.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Slight iritis and slight corneal opacity were observed in 3/6 animals without irrigation; both effects were reversible (within 1 and 3 days after application, respectively), and both did not occur after irrigation. Conjunctivitis included moderate redness and chemosis, as well as severe discharge, which improved markedly after a maximum between 2 hours and 1 day after exposure, but were not fully reversible during the observation period of seven days in the non-irrigated eyes. Even after irrigation, conjunctivitis persisted until day four. The author classifies the test substance as a moderate irritant (class 5 on a 1-8 scale) when applied without subsequent irrigation, and as a mild irritant (class 4 of 8) after irrigation.
- Other effects:
- Initial pain reaction: practically none to moderate (classes 1-3 on a 0-5 scale)
Slight mucoid discharge and slight Harderian discharge on day 3 in one animal each - Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The irritant potential of the test substance to the rabbit eye was found to be moderate (class 5 on a 1-8 scale) without irrigation, and mild (class 4) after irrigation. The study report is relevant, reliable with restrictions and adequate for risk assessment, classification and labeling.
- Executive summary:
The acute eye irritation potential of the test material (a powder) was assessed according a method similar to OECD 405 in nine male New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance (0.1 g) was applied directly into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animals; the right eye served as control. The eyes of three rabbits were irrigated with 200 mL of lukewarm water 20-30 seconds after the application. The ocular reactions were assessed at the following time points: 1-2 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days post application, according to the Draize scale.
Practically none to moderate initial pain was observed immediately after the application of the test substance.
Slight iritis and slight corneal opacity were recorded in 3/6 animals without irrigation; both effects were reversible (within 1 and 3 days after application, respectively), and both did not occur after irrigation. Conjunctivitis included moderate redness and chemosis, as well as severe discharge, which improved markedly after a maximum between 2 hours and 1 day after exposure, but were not fully reversible during the observation period of seven days in the non-irrigated eyes. Even after irrigation, conjunctivitis persisted until day four. The author classifies the test substance as a moderate irritant (class 5 on a 1-8 scale) when applied without subsequent irrigation, and as a mild irritant (class 4 of 8) after irrigation.
Reference
One animal in the non-irrigated group became sick and had to be killed on day 6 after the application; it still showed conjunctival discharge. Another one (with irrigated eye) was found dead on day 3, with slight redness, chemosis, and discharge. The author does not attribute the deaths to effects of the test material.

Additional information
Skin
One skin irritation study conducted under GLP according to method similar to guideline OECD 404 (with minor deviations) is available (Southwood 1984a). The study is considered to be relevant, reliable with restrictions and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling.
Very slight to well-defined erythema, and very slight to moderate edema were observed after 1 hour; these findings were still seen in only 2/6 animals at 25 hours, and completely disappeared at 45 hours. From the numerical scores of the individual animals at 25, 45, and 69 hours, the averages for erythema and edema were calculated to be 0.11 each.
Eye
One eye irritation study conducted under GLP according to a method similar to guideline OECD 405 is available (Southwood 1984a). The study is considered to be relevant, reliable with restrictions and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling.
Practically none to moderate initial pain was observed immediately after the application of the test substance.
Slight iritis and slight corneal opacity were recorded in 3/6 animals without irrigation; both effects were reversible (within 1 and 3 days after application, respectively), and both did not occur after irrigation. Conjunctivitis included moderate redness and chemosis, as well as severe discharge, which improved markedly after a maximum between 2 hours and 1 day after exposure, but were not fully reversible during the observation period of seven days in the non-irrigated eyes. Even after irrigation, conjunctivitis persisted until day four. The author classifies the test substance as a moderate irritant (class 5 on a 1-8 scale) when applied without subsequent irrigation, and as a mild irritant (class 4 of 8) after irrigation.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on Skin Corrosion/Irritation is considered adequate for the classification and labelling.
Based on the result, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification under the Directive 2001/59/EC, Annex VI, 3.2.6.1. as well as the criteria in the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.2.2.
The available data on Eye Irritation is considered reliable and suitable for classification and labelling.
Based on the result, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification under the Directive 2001/59/EC, Annex VI, 3.2.6.2. as well as the criteria in the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.3.2.
