Additional information
Skin
The potential of 1-Methylpyrrolidine to cause dermal corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 500 μL of the test substance to the Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane (Corrositex® assay). The Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane is a test system consisting of a reconstituted collagen matrix. The assay is based on the time that is required for the test substance to penetrate through the Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane and produce a change in the Chemical Detection System (CDS). In addition to the test substance a positive and a negative control were assessed. Two test runs were performed. The Corrositex® assay showed the following results: The qualification screen demonstrated that the test substance is able to react with the CDS and produce a visible color change. Therefore the membrane barrier test method was determined to be suitable for the evaluation of the corrosive potential of the test substance. A timescale category test was carried out to distinguish between weak and strong acids or bases. The test substance was assigned to timescale category 1 (having a high acid/alkaline reserve). In each test run four Corrositex® Biobarrier Membranes were treated with the test substance. In the first test run one of the four membranes treated with the test substance showed a distinctly longer breakthrough time than the other three membranes. A technical fault was considered to be the reason. In order to verify the result of the first test run, a second test run was performed. In the second test run all four membranes showed break through times in the range of the three valid membranes of the first test run. The mean breakthrough time of the test substance, considering the valid membranes of both test runs of the Corrositex® assay, was 2 minutes and 34 seconds. Based on the observed results it was concluded, that 1-Methylpyrrolidine shows a corrosive potential in the Corrositex® -Skin Corrosion Test under the test conditions chosen.The mean breakthrough time determined in the in vitro membrane barrier test was 2 minutes and 34 seconds.
Additionally, a study is available in which 1 mL of the test substance was applied to the skin of 2 rabbits each for exposure times of 1 min, 5 min and 15 min. After an observation time of 8 days the treated skin sites showed necrotic changes and thus indicate at least a severe irritation of the skin.
Eyes
0.05 mL of the test substance were applied to one eye of two rabbits. The other eye served as control where NaCl was applied. After 1 hour, the eyes treated with test substance exhibited corrosion.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
most reliable study available
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
only one study available
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive
Effects on eye irritation: corrosive
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
The available studies are considered reliable and suitable for classification purposes under 67/548/EEC. As a result the substance is considered to be classified as corrosive C, R35 (causes severe burns) under Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 31st time in Directive 2009/2/EG.
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. As a result the substance is considered to be classified as corrosive category 1A, H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the sixth time in Regulation No 605/2014.
