- Executive summary:
In an OECD TG 404 study aspartic acid, N,N'-[methylenebis(2-methyl-4,1-cyclohexanediyl)]bis-,1,1',4,4'-tetraethyl ester was applied under semiocclusive dressings for 4 hours to the intact but shaved skin of a group of 6 female rabbits. Skin irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 and 14 days using the Draize scale. The mean irritation index for erythema was 1.2 of max. 4 (1.0 -1.99 = slight irritating), the mean irritation index for edema was 0 of max. 4. Signs did not prove to be fully reversible in all animals within one week, and in one animal within 14 days (still erythema score 1). The weight of these evidences indicates that the test substance may be considered as "slightly to moderately irritating to the skin".
No systemic signs were reported.

- STUDY DESIGN
After gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball 100 µl test substance were instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each rabbit.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
24 hours after instillation of the test substance the treated eye was rinsed with saline.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
The examinations were facilated using optical instruments (e.g. hand slit-lamp). To define epithelial damage, one drop of a 1% fluorescein solution was applied to the cornea surface 24 hours after administration of the test substance; where positive effects were recorded this was repeated at the later observation times. The eye was then rinsed with saline to remove excess and nonabsorbed fluorescein. - Irritation parameter:

In a study according to OECD TG 405 aspartic acid, N,N'-[methylenebis(2-methyl-4,1-cyclohexanediyl)]bis-,1,1',4,4'-tetraethyl ester was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 female rabbits. Eye irritation was assessed using the Draize scale. In this study the test substance was considered to be not irritating to the eye with a mean irritation index for conjunctivae of 0.3 (< 1 = not irritating), and mean irritation indices for cornea, iris and chemosis of 0.

Additional information
The substance was slightly to moderately irritating to the skin of rabbits (OECD TG 404; Maertins, Bayer AG, 1991) and not irritating to the eye of rabbits (OECD TG 405; Maertins, Bayer AG, 1991).
The substance indicated a low sensory respiratory tract irritation potential in a special aerosol inhalation study on rats (RD50: 841 mg/m³; study according to ASTM E981-84, Pauluhn, Bayer AG, 1998b; see chapter "acute toxicity: inhalation"). Lung function measurement revealed changes on breathing patterns resemble those stereotypical patterns known to occur following exposure to 'upper respiratory tract sensory irritants', because of a characteristic bradypneic period (pause between inspiration and expiration).
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
No classification for skin/eye irritation required according to EU-Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex I.
No classification for skin/eye irritation required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex VI.
No classification required for respiratory tract irritation according to EU-Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex I or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex VI, because the low vapour pressure of the substance prevents inhalative exposure, and the results of the available acute inhalation studies with exposure to a highly respirable aerosol does only lead to a low sensory respiratory tract irritation potential.
