Additional information

The key study for skin irritation found the test material not irritating to rabbit skin in a study conducted according to an appropriate guideline and in compliance with GLP (WIL, 2000b). The test article induced very slight erythema in all animals, which subsided within 48 hours. No edema or other dermal findings were noted during the test period.

The key study for eye irritation found the test material not irritating to rabbit eyes, in a study conducted according to an appropriate OECD guideline and in compliance with GLP (WIL 2001c). Minor (grade 1) conjunctival irritation was noted for all animals at the one hour post instillation observation. The eyes of all animals appeared normal by 48-hours post-instillation. There were no corneal or iridial findings. No animals vocalized upon instillation of the test article. There were no remarkable body weight changes, and there were no deaths during the study.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Bases on available data, no classification is required for skin or eye irritation in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
