In a primary dermal irritation study that broadly followed the FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41 guideline, six New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test material on one intact and one abraded skin site. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours and the animals were observed for the following 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize 24 and 72 hours after the initial exposure.
There were no signs of dermal irritation and the Primary Dermal Irritation Index = 0.0.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not a dermal irritant and does not require classification in accordance with EU criteria.

*The area affected by the corneal opacity was judged to be one quarter (or less) but not zero and the area of the cornea involved was therefore given a score of 1.

Additional information
Skin Irritation
The key study is a primary dermal irritation study that broadly followed the FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41 guideline. Six New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test material on one intact and one abraded skin site. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours and the animals were observed for the following 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize 24 and 72 hours after the initial exposure.
There were no signs of dermal irritation and the Primary Dermal Irritation Index = 0.0.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not a dermal irritant and does not require classification.
Supporting information is provided in the form of two studies conducted on the analogous substance Neodymium fluoride. Both substances have a similar toxicological profile. The studies were both awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch (1997). The reports are being used in a read-across capacity as the results are considered to be representative of the registered material.
The first supporting study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 404.
Six male New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test material moistened with 0.06 mL of water to form a paste. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours, followed by observation of the animals for 72 hours. Irritation was evaluated based on erythema and oedema reactions observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of application.
No skin reactions were observed during the study. The mean score for the readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours for both erythema and oedema was equal to 0.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not classified.
In the second supporting study, the primary skin irritation potential of the test material was investigated in accordance with the FHSA guideline 16 CFR 1500.41.
0.5 g of the test material was applied to both an intact and abraded site on each of six New Zealand White rabbits. The sites were occluded for 24 hours. The patches were then removed and the test sites wiped to prevent further exposure. Evaluation occurred 24 and 72 hours after exposure.
With the exception of one intact site with very slight erythema at 24 hours, all sites were clear of irritation during the test period.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not irritating to skin and requires no classification.
Eye Irritation
The key study is a primary eye irritation study conducted in accordance with FHSA guideline16 CFR 1500.42.
0.1 g of the test material was instilled into the left eye of six New Zealand white rabbits, with three of the treated eyes being rinsed after 30 seconds with saline. The animals were observed for three days and the eyes examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Irritation was scored according to the method of Draize.
The test material produced minor irritation effects to both the unwashed and washed eyes, all of which were reversible withing 72 hours. No classification is required under the conditions of this study in accordance with EU criteria.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The key study was conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, though the reference does not provide a full report with regard to the methods used in this study. However, as most basic key information is reported, the study can be judged as scientifically acceptable. The method used broadly followed the FHSA 16 CFR 1500.41 guideline and was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria of Klimisch (1997).
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The key study was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline FHSA 16 CFR 1500.42. It was well reported and adhered to sound scientific principles. It was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria of Klimisch (1997).
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test material does not require classification for irritation or corrosion to either the skin or eye.
