Additional information

Skin irritation:

A skin irritation study to rabbit (Brenda, 1998) was conducted according to OECD 404. This study showed the a single semi-occlusive application of this substance to intact rabbit skin for up to four hours elicited well-defined dermal irritation.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Study run to a method comparable with current guidelines and to GLP

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: moderately irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation/corrosion: Mean scores at 24, 48 & 72 hours for erythema were < 2.3 (actual value 1.44), for oedema were < 2.3 (actual value 0.22).

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Tables 3.2.2 , the substance is not classified for the skin corrosion/irritation endpoint.
