Description of key information
An in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD guideline No. 404 and in vivo eye irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline No. 405 are reported. Both of the studies were conducted under GLP. The reliability of the studies according to Klimish score is K1. Basing on experimental results, according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008, GALDEN LMW does not meet the classification criteria for human health both for skin and eye irritation.
The potential of GALDEN LMW to be irritating to the respiratory tract was assessed basing on the results of the acute toxicity study conducted by inhalation on rats. Basing on the results GALDEN LMW is not irritant to the respiratory tract following single exposure.
Signs of irritant effects were noted in the respiratory tract following repeated exposures by inhalation at high concentrations (ca. 20000 ppm) in a 14-day inhalation study.

- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the acute dermal irritation and/or corrosive effects on skin following the application of the test article GALDEN LMW.
The test method was in accordance with the EEC Guidelines B.4 and with OECD guidelines 404 (Paris 1981, and subsequent revisions).
Three New Zeland White female rabbits were treated with a single application of 0.5 ml of the test article.
Approximately 24 hours before the test, fur was clipped from the trunk of the animals. Care was taken not to abrade the skin. Only animals with intact skin were used.
The test article was applied to a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin. Firstly one rabbit was used and three treatment sites of the skin were prepared. On the first site the test article was applied for an exposure period of 3 minutes. No serious gross skin reactions were noted and the test article was applied for an exposure period of 1 hour on the second site. The application area was covered with a gauze patch loosely held in contact with the skin by an impermeable, non-irritant, hypoallergenic tape. No serious gross reaction were observed after the one-hour exposure period and the test article was applied for an exposure period of 4 hours on the third skin site. This area was covered with a gauze patch as above. The test was completed using two additional animals with a 4 hour exposure period. At the end of the exposure period, residual test substance was removed, without altering the existing response of the integrity of the epidermis.
Neither deaths occurred as a result of treatment, nor clinical signs or behavioral alterations were observed untoward.
At the application site, no dermal reactions were detected in any rabbit.
The test article GALDEN LMW when administered by dermal route to rabbits under the experimental conditions adopted, is to be considered "NON IRRITANT" for the skin.

- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the acute eye irritation and/or corrosive effects on the eye following the application of the test article GALDEN LMW.
The test method was in accordance with the EEC Guidelines B.5 and with OECD guidelines 405 (Paris 1981, and subsequent revisions).
Three New Zealand White rabbit were treated with a single administration of 0.1 ml of the test article GALDEN LMW.
Both eyes of each experimental animal selected for the testing were examined within 24 hours before testing started.
The test article was placed in the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about 3 -4 seconds in order loss of material. The other eye (the left), remaining untreated, served as control. The eyes of the animals were washed out at 24 hours following the test article administration.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guide was used as reference source for evaluating and scoring the reaction.
No clinical signs or behavioural alterations were observed.
No sign of ocular irritancy were seen in all treated animals at all the observations.
The test article GALDEN LMW when administred by ocular route to rabbit under the experimental conditions adopted, is to be considered "NON IRRITANT" for the eye.

Additional information
Under the in vivo dermal irritation study, three females New Zeland White rabbits were treated with a single application of 0.5 ml of undiluted GALDEN LMW. The duration of exposure was 4 hours and the exposure area was covered by an occlusive patch. The observation period was 72 hours.
Neither deaths occurred as a result of treatment, nor were observed untoward clinical signs or behavioral alterations. At the application site, no dermal reactions were detected in any rabbit. In conclusion, GALDEN LMW when administered by dermal route to rabbits is to be considered "NON IRRITANT" for the skin.
Under the in vivo eye irritation study, three males New Zeland White rabbits were treated with a single application of 0.1 ml of undiluted GALDEN LMW.
The test article was placed in the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal, then the eyes of the animals were washed out at 24 hours following the test article administration. The observation period was 72 hours.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guide was used as reference source for evaluating and scoring the reaction.
No clinical signs or behavioural alterations were observed during exposure or observation period. No signs of ocular irritancy were seen in all treated animals at all the observations.
In conclusion, GALDEN LMW when administred by ocular route to rabbit is to be considered "NON IRRITANT" for the eye.
GALDEN LMW was tested on rats in one acute toxicity study by inhalation. No human exposure data by inhalation are available.
In the acute toxicity study, no clinical signs of respiratory tract irritation and no macroscopic findings on the respiratory system were observed in rat during and/or following exposure to the vapours at the concentration of 1627 mg/L. Basing on the results, GALDEN LMW is concluded to be not irritant for the respiratory system. However, signs of irritation on the respiratory tract were observed following repearted exposures to high concentrations.
Justification for classification or non-classification
No signs of irritation have been observed under the in vivo studies of eye and dermal irritation.
GALDEN LMW does not meet the classification criteria according to GHS and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for the hazard classes “Serious eye damage / irritation” and “Skin irritation/corrosion”.
Moreover, no signs of respiratory irritation were observed after single exposure by inhalation in the acute toxicity study conducted at the high concentration, therefore GALDEN LMW does not fulfill the classification criteria for respiratory tract irritation - STOT SE 3 according to GHS and the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
