- Area of exposure: ca. 19.6 cm² (moistened test substance beneath a plastic cup of 2.5 cm diameter)
- % coverage: entire area of exposure
- Type of wrap if used: The loaded cup was fixed to the selected application site by means of semi-occlusive, adhesive tape (Leukopor, BDF, Germany). Subsequently, the entire trunk of the rabbit was wrapped with a self-adhesive-gauze (Fixomull, BDF, Germany) to maintain the cup in position and to retard evaporation of volatile substances. The gauze was additionally fastened with two strips of tape (Leukoflex, BDF, Germany).

Additional information

Skin

The dermal irritant potential of L-valine was assessed by application of the moistened product to the skin of three rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 404. No signs of irritation were seen at any point after application, thus the product is classified as not-irritating to human skin.

  

 Eye

 The eye irritant potential of L-valine was assessed by application of the dry product to the eyes of three rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 405. The product is classified as not-irritating to human eye.

An in vitro/ex vivo Non-GLP Chicken Enucleated Eye Test did not show significant signs of irritation.

 

 Respiratory System

There are no data available which indicate that L-valine is irritant to the respiratory system.

 

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:

Key study.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:

Key study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Several studies with L-valine did not show irritating or corrosive properties both to skin and eye.
