- The shaved skin area on the left side was slightly scarified just before treatment. A gauze patch of 2.5 × 2.5 cm with test substance was applied immediatly to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with an impermeable foil of 5 × 5 cm, which was fixed to the body of the animals with adhesive tape.
Test substance was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application, test material was wetted with tap water.
The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after application. Skin reaction was appraised upon removal during an observation period of 8 days on the basis of erythema and edema formation. - Irritation parameter:

Method
Eye irritation potential was assessed following OECD guideline 405. Test substance was applied to one eye of 3 rabbits; the other eye served as control. No indication of eye rinse was reported. Observations were done at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7d, 10 d and 14 after application. Effects on cornea, iris and conjunctivae were noted.
Results
Test material induced reactions of cornea, iris and conjunctiva when instilled into the conjunctival sac of rabbits eyes.
The following mean scores over the period from 24 to 72 h were calculated:
animal no. 658 110 98 conj. redness 1 2 1 conj. chemosis 0.33 0.33 0 cornea 0.33 0.67 0.33 iris 0 0.33 0 Effects were fully reversible within the 14 days observation period.

Additional information
No data on target substance was available, thus a read across approach was followed using available data on Similar Substance 01. Details on the read across are reported in section 13.
A study on Similar Substance 01 was carried out as described in Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods drugs and cosmetics of 1959 by AFDO. A test sample containing 66 % of active substance was used. The substance was applied to intact and abraded skin of 6 rabbits. Effects on intact skin were evaluated to the purpose of classification and were found to be reversible within 8 days.
Eye irritation was tested according OECD guideline 405, using Similar Substance 01. A test sample containing 91 % of active substance was used. Slight effects on cornea, iris and conjunctivae were noted, which were fully reversible within 14 days.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin Irritation
According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), skin corrosion means the production of irreversible damage to the skin, and skin irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4 hours.
A substance has to be classified as category 1 (corrosive) if it produces destruction of skin tissue, namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, in at least 1 tested animal after exposure up to a 4 hour duration.
A substance has to be classified as category 2 (irritant) if shows:
(1) mean value of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0 for erythema/ eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or
(2) inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or
(3) in some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above.
In case 6 rabbits are used, a response above the threshold of 2.3 in 4 of 6 rabbits implies a classification in category 2.
As irritation scores were below the threshold set by the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) and were reversible within 8 days, no classification applied.
Eye Irritation
According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), serious eye damage means the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which is not fully reversible within 21 days of application .
Eye irritation means the production of changes in the eye following the application of test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which are fully reversible within 21 days of application.
A substance has to be classified as category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye), If, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:
- at least in one animal effects on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva that are not expected to reverse or have not fully reversed within an observation period of normally 21 days; and/ or
- at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:
- corneal opacity ≥ 3 and/or
- iritis > 1,5 calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material.
A substance has to be classified as category 2 (irritating to eye) if, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:
at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:
- corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or
- iritis ≥ 1, and/or
- conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or
- conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2
calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material, and which fully reverses within an observation period of 21 days.
As irritation scores of treated eyes were all below the thresholds set by the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), no classification applied.
