Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No studies on primary irritation are available. The assessment of skin and eye irritation has been based on read-across to closely structure-related substances, such as methylnaphthalene and diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN). There were no but slight initial effects on rabbit´s skin and eyes in three valid studies each.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- For cornea and iris, no effects were observed. Conjunctivae and chemosis scores were moderate to low. In individual animals, the maximum mean (24 to 72 h) values were 1.67 (one value) or lower. At day 7, four animals still showed effects (conjunctivae 3 animal, grad 1 or 2; chemosis 2 animals, grade 1).
- Other effects:
- In two animals continuing eye secretion was observed up to day 7.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The study was not conducted following current test procedures. But readings were taken at the appropriate time points and scoring was performed according to Draize. Thus cornea, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis scores according to OECD TG 405 can be extracted from the reported values. Observation period was only 7 days. But the scores observed were moderate and had in general declined until day 7. Hence, it is estimated that the effects observed will be fully reversible within 21 days.

Additional information
acceptable for assessment, SAR (read-across) to a chemical structure closely related to that of the target substance.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
acceptable for assessment, SAR (read-across) to a chemical structure closely related to that of the target substance.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The assessment of skin irritation has been based on read-across to closely structure-related substances, such as methylnaphthalene and diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN). It is assumed that MIPN isomer mixture (MIPN) shows a similar irritation profile. Hence, no classification is required for the target compound.
