Additional information

In the skin irritation test in all 3 animals no signs of skin irritation could be observed. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

In the eye irritation test corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in all 3 animals, starting at the examination time point 24 hours after

instillation and lasting until 7 days after instillation in all 3 rabbits, in rabbit no. 1 up to 11 days and in rabbit no.2 up to 8 days after instillation. The fluorescein test performed after 24 hours revealed corneal staining in animal no. 1 and 2 (whole corneal surface) and in animal no. 3 (3/4 of the corneal surface). The fluorescein test performed after 7 days revealed corneal staining in animal nos. 1 and 3 (1/4 of the corneal surface) and in animal no. 2 (3/4 of the corneal surface). All animals showed an irritation of the iris (grade 1) starting 24 hours after instillation and lasting until 6 days after instillation in all 3 rabbits, in animal no. 1 up to 11 days and in animal no. 2 up to 8 days after instillation. Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in rabbit No. 2 and 3 one hour after instillation, in rabbit No. 2 up to 48 hours days after instillation. Conjunctival chemosis (grade 1) was observed in rabbits no. 2 and 3 one and 24 hours after instillation, in animal no. 2 up to 48 hours after instillation.

There were no systemic intolerance reactions.


Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results for skin irritation a classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is not required.

Based on the study results for eye irritation Bay Z 7906 has to be classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) with Xi, R36 and Eye Irrit. 2, H319, respectively.
