- Executive summary:
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in a study according to Federal Register 38, No. 187, 1973 and which is equivalent to OECD guideline 404. The undiluted test substance as well as a 10% and 1% test substance solution was applied to the intakt and scarified skin of six rabbits. The test was performed under occlusive conditions for an exposure period of 24 hours. The skin was scored for signs of irritation after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h.
The undiluted test substance induced severe erythema and severe edema after 24 hours of treatment in all rabbits on the intact and scarified flank skin (mean erythema score 24/48/72h = 4; mean edema core 24/48/72h = 4). The results were not reversible within 96 hours.
The observed very mild to mild erythema and edema in the 10% test item solution were reversible within 72 hours. The very mild edema and erythema in the 1% test item solution were reversible within 48 hours.
Based on the results of this skin irritation test, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the skin.

- Executive summary:
In a skin irritation study in rabbits 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance and a 10%, 5% and 1% test substance solution were applied five times in five days to the shaved skin of the rabbits. Examination of the skin tolerance resulted in very serious damage when the undiluted test substance was administered. The 10% and 5% dilutions revealed marked reddening of the flank skin in all rabbits. The 1% solution showed no reaction.
- Endpoint:
- skin corrosion: 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

Application of the undiluted product
resulted in redness and slight swelling of the flank skin in all rabbits
after the first treatment. At the end of the experiment (after the fifth
treatment) the flank skin was severely red, heavily swollen, bloody and
necrotic.
The
10% and 5% solution caused marked reddening of the flank skin in all
rabbits after the first and second treatment, respectively. The 1%
concentration was tolerated by all rabbits without reaction.

- Conclusions:
- Application of the undiluted test item resulted in strong irritation to the eyes of all rabbits. Because of these serious injuries, the animals were prematurely withdrawn after 72 hours. The 10% dilution gave a slight reddening and increased swelling of the conjunctiva. The 1% dilution was tolerated without irritation. Based on the results of this eye irritation study, the test item is considered to be irritating to the eyes.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in a study according to FDA guideline (Federal Register, Vol. 38, No. 187, 1973) and which is equivalent to OECD guideline 405. The undiluted test substance as well as a 10% and 1% solution of the test substance in sesame oil was instilled into one eye of six albino Himalayan rabbits. The other untreated eye served as control. The eyes were washed with physiologic NaCl solution after 24 h. The eyes treated with the undiluted test item were assessed for irritation after 1 h, 7 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The eyes treated with 10% test item solution were observed for 48 h and the eyes treated with 1% test item solution were assessed for 24 hours.
The application of the undiluted substance resulted in strong irritation to the eyes of all rabbits. Due to strong signs of irritation, the animals were killed after 72 hours. The 10% dilution revealed a slight redness and a strong swelling of the conjunctiva. The 1% dilution was tolerated without irritation.
According to OECD guideline, the rabbits' eyes are normally assessed for a 21 days observation period. Therefore, the reversibility of the effects cannot be assessed. Based on the results of this eye irritation study, the test item is considered to be irritating to the eyes. As a worst case consideration, it must be assumed that the effects are not reversible and the substance has to be classified as skin irritating, cat. 1 (H 318).

The application of the 1% concentration resulted in a very slight reddening of the conjunctiva. The 0.1% dilution was tolerated without reaction.
Based on these results, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the eyes. - Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study in rabbits 0.1 mL of the undilutest test substance and a 10% and 5%, 1% and 0.1% test substance solution were instilled into one eye of the rabbits. The eyes were assessed for irritation after 1, 3, 7, 24, 48, 72, 80 and 144 hours. Application of the undiluted test item and the 10% test item solution resulted in very severe damage of the eyes of all rabbits. The 5% concentration still causes significant damage to the eye. The application of the 1% concentration resulted in a very slight reddening of the conjunctiva. The 0.1% dilution was tolerated without reaction.

The undiluted or 10% diluted test
substance resulted in very severe damage in all rabbits in the form of a
deep red coloration and a very strong milky, ballooning swelling of the
conjunctiva. In addition, a strong opacity of the cornea was visible.
80
hours after the application, the animals were prematurely killed because
of these serious injuries. The 5% solution showed in all animals a
slight reddening as well as a stronger, cloudy swelling of the
conjunctiva. The cornea showed a slight opacity. These findings were
reversible 144 hours after the application except for a very slight
reddening of the conjunctiva. The 1% dilution gave a very slight
reddening of the conjunctiva for about 7 to 24 hours. The 0.1%
concentration was tolerated by all rabbits without reaction.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irreversible damage)
Respiratory irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Skin irritation:
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was investigated
in a study according to Federal Register 38, No. 187, 1973 and which is
equivalent to OECD guideline 404 (Hoechst AG, 1975). The undiluted test
substance as well as a 10% and 1% test substance solution was applied to
the intact and scarified skin of six rabbits. The test was performed
under occlusive conditions for an exposure period of 24 hours. The skin
was scored for signs of irritation after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h.
The undiluted test substance induced severe erythema and severe edema
after 24 hours of treatment in all rabbits on the intact and scarified
flank skin (mean erythema score 24/48/72h = 4; mean edema core 24/48/72h
= 4). The results were not reversible within 96 hourse. The observed
very mild to mild erythema and edema in the 10% test item solution were
reversible within 72 hours. The very mild edema and erythema in the 1%
test item solution were reversible within 48 hours. The performed skin
irritation test showed some deviations from the OECD guideline 404. For
example the test substance was tested not only on the intact skin but
also on the scarified skin under occlusive instead of semi-occlusive
conditions. An exposure period of 24 hours instead of 4 hours was
applied. The named deviations from the OECD guideline 404 represents a
tightening of the test conditions. Thus, data observed under these test
conditions leads to a conservative classification and labelling. Based
on the results of this skin irritation test, the test substance is
considered to be irritating to the skin and has to be classified as Skin
Irrit. 2 (H315).
This result is supported by another skin irritation study in rabbits with only limited documentation (Hoechst AG, 1969). In this test, 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance and a 10%, 5% and 1% test substance solution were applied five times in five days to the shaved skin of the rabbits. Examination of the skin tolerance resulted in very serious damage when the undiluted test substance was administered. The 10% and 5% dilutions revealed marked reddening of the flank skin in all rabbits. The 1% solution showed no reaction.
Eye irritation
The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in a study according to FDA guideline (Federal Register, Vol. 38, No. 187, 1973) and which is equivalent to OECD guideline 405 (Hoechst AG, 1975). The undiluted test substance as well as a 10% and 1% solution of the test substance in sesame oil was instilled into one eye of six albino Himalayan rabbits. The other untreated eye served as control. The eyes were washed with physiologic NaCl solution after 24 h. The eyes treated with the undiluted test item were assessed for irritation after 1 h, 7 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The eyes treated with 10% test item solution were observed for 48 h and the eyes treated with 1% test item solution were assessed for 24 hours.
The application of the undiluted substance resulted in strong irritation to the eyes of all rabbits. Due to strong signs of irritation, the animals were killed after 72 hours. The 10% dilution revealed a slight redness and a strong swelling of the conjunctiva. The 1% dilution was tolerated without irritation.
According to OECD guideline, the rabbits' eyes are normally assessed for a 21 days observation period. Therefore, the reversibility of the effects cannot be assessed. Based on the results of this eye irritation study, the test item is considered to be irritating to the eyes. As a worst case consideration, it must be assumed that the effects are not reversible and the substance has to be classified as skin irritating, cat. 1 (H 318).
This result is supported by another eye irritation study in rabbits with only limited documentation (Hoechst AG, 1969). In this test, 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance and a 10% and 5%, 1% and 0.1% test substance solution were instilled into one eye of the rabbits. The eyes were assessed for irritation after 1, 3, 7, 24, 48, 72, 80 and 144 hours. Application of the undiluted test item and the 10% test item solution resulted in very severe damage of the eyes of all rabbits. The 5% concentration still caused significant damage to the eye. The application of the 1% concentration resulted in a very slight reddening of the conjunctiva. The 0.1% dilution was tolerated without reaction.
Based on these results, the test substance is considered to be damaging to the eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test
data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on skin and eye
irritation/corrosion, the test item is classified as Skin Irrit. 2, H315
(Causes skin irritation) and as eye damaging cat. 1, H318 (Causes
serious eye damage) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as
amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
