In a primary dermal irritation study (OECD guideline 404), six female New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of Sodium Molybdate for 4 hours to a body surface area of 2.5 cm² under semi-occlusive conditions. Animals then were observed for 0.5, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Sodium Molybdate did not cause any skin effects and is considered under the conditions of this study as non toxic. Sodium Molybdate is used as read-across partner to Dimolybdenum carbide.

- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study (OECD 405), 100 mg of Sodium molybdate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of six young adult New Zealand White rabbits (four males and two females). Animals were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Only very mild conjunctival reactions were observed, which were fully reversible within 2-3 days. In this study, Sodium molybdate is not an eye irritant.

Additional information
No data is available for Dimolybdenum carbide (target substance). Thus, available data from Sodium molybdate was used in a read-across approach. Due to a lower water solubility of Dimolybdenum carbide compared to Sodium molybdate the resulting bioavailability (toxicity potential) would also be expected to be lower. Therefore, the read across to the source substance Sodium molybdate is adequately protective. Details on the read-across rational are provided in section 13.
Sodium molybdate was tested negative for acute dermal and eye irritating properties according to OECD 404 and OECD 405. Based on the results from the read-across partner Sodium molybdate, Dimolybdenum carbide can be considered as not irritating to the skin and eye.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
GLP guideline study according to OECD guideline 404 conducted with Sodium molybdate.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
GLP guideline study according to OECD guideline 405 conducted with Sodium molybdate.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The read across partner Sodium molybdate did not cause any skin and eye effects in an acute dermal and eye irritating study in accordance to OECD 404 and OECD 405. Based on the results from the read-across partner, no classification of Dimolybdenum carbide is warranted.
