Description of key information
Skin irritation: In a rabbit skin irritation/corrosion test according to OECD Guideline 404, the test substance showed corrosive effects to the skin (Kiecza, 1986).
Eye irritation: Based on the data of this OECD Guideline 405 study and according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation, the test substance is regarded as causing serious eye damage (Reagan, 1981).

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Conjunctiva of the eye showed necrosis after 1 hour. All eye tissue surrounding the eyeball itself was completely necroses and colored black after 24 hours and later. One rabbit showed a hemorraged eye after 1 hour. Bloody discharge from the eye was observed in this rabbit after 7days, while the others showed no discharge.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study the test substance can be regarded as causing serious eye damage.
- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- an in vitro eye irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo eye irritation study are available

Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion:
Kiecza (1986) studied acute dermal irritation/ corrosivity in 6 rabbits which were exposed to the undiluted substance during resp 3 minutes and 1 hour in a test according to the OECD 404 guideline. Necrosis is observed in all animals exposed for 3 min. At 72h after exposure, full thickness necrosis is confirmed by gross pathology examination. The mean scores for edema after 3 min exposure are resp 1.0; 0.3; 0.3. On the basis of the observations and the lack of reversibility of effects, the substance is considered to be Corrosive Category 1A according to the CLP Regulation No 1272/2008. This study was identified as key study.
This was supported by a study by Mallory (1990) who studied skin irritation/corrosion by applying the test substance on one site (intact) on the upper dorsal trunk and two sites ( intact and abraded), on the lower dorsal trunk (all application sites were clipped free of hair) of 6 New Zealand White rabbits in occlusive conditions (shaved and abraded skin), according to OECD guideline 404. Exposure lasted for 4 hours (upper dorsal site) and 24 hours (lower dorsal site) and observations were performed at 24, 48 and 72 hours and up to 14 days after application of the substance. Lesions were scored according to the Draize system: erythema and edema scores of 4 were observed. Effects were not fully reversible within 14 days. At all sites of application severe erythema and edema and necrosis were observed. The substance was observed to be corrosive under the conditions of the test.
Eye irritation:
Reagan (1981) investigated the eye irritation effects of 0.1 mL the test substance in 6 male New Zealand White rabbits. The study was performed according to a method similar to OECD guideline 405. After an observation period of 14 days (scoring at 24, 48 and 72 hours), following responses were observed: conjunctivae of the eye showed necrosis after 1 hour. All eye tissues surrounding the eyeball itself were completely necrosed and colored black after 24 hours and later. One rabbit showed a hemorraged eye after 1 hour. Bloody discharge from the eye was observed in this rabbit after 7days, while the others showed no discharge. Based on these observations the substance is regarded as causing serious eye damage.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data and the criteria of the CLP Regulation, the substance should be classified for skin corrosion category 1A and eye damage category 1.
