No edema formation was observed in any animal. The mean values for erythema and edema were calculated to be 0, respectively. Therefore, the test substance does not need to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- For the unwashed eye, chemosis (grade 4) for the conjuctiva and a profuse discharge was noted one hour after administration of the test substance.
Signs of irritation for the unwashed eye between the 24 and 72 hour examination included corneal opacity (grade 1), redness of the conjunctiva (grade 3) and chemosis (grade 3) of the nictitating membrane/or lids. In addition, staining of the cornea and conjunctiva were apparent for the unwashed eye when fluorescein dye was applied at the 24-hour examination. Since the test substance caused significant ocular lesion within 72 hours after exposure which persisted for more than 24 hours, these changes were considered sufficient to characterize the response as irritating to eyes. - Other effects:
- - Lesions and clinical observations:
Animals were not weighed as weights are not critical to this study.
- Ophthalmoscopic findings: None reported
- Histopathological findings: No necropsies were conducted at the conclusion of the observation period.
- Effects of rinsing or washing: Immediate irrigation of the eye was palliative. For the washed eye, signs of irritation were limited to redness (grade 2) and chemosis (grade 2). A profuse discharge was also seen one hour after administration of the test substance. No staining was evident when fluorescein dye was applied. By Day 7 of the study, the washed eye appeared normal. - Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP/EU GHS Category 1 (H318) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- In an in vivo eye irritation study (OECD 405), significant irritation was observed that was not reversible until day 21 of the study. The available data on eye irritation of the substance meet the criteria for classification as serious eye damage/eye irritation Cat. 1 (H318) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Additional information
In a GLP compliant, reliable skin irritation study (according to OECD 404) performed with N-(2-(4-Amino-N-ethyl-m-toluidino)ethyl)methanesulphonamide sesquisulphate, 3 rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g of the diluted test material for 4 h applied onto the shaved skin via occlusive dressing (Shepard, 1997). Skin reactions were evaluated according to the Draize scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-application. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal during the test period and no mortality occurred during the course of the study. Mean erythema and edema scores for the 72 hour observation period were 0, respectively. Therefore, the test substance does not need to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
A GLP compliant, reliable eye irritation study (according to OECD 405) with restrictions (only two animals tested, in one animal the eye was washed out immediately after instillation of the test item) was performed with N-(2-(4-Amino-N-ethyl-m-toluidino)ethyl)methanesulphonamide sesquisulphate (Shepard, 1998). In the study 0.1 mL of the diluted test material was instilled into the eyes of 2 rabbits. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to the Draize scoring system 24, 48 and 72 h post-application and for a prolonged observation period of 28 days. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred during the course of the study.For the unwashed eye, chemosis (grade 4) for the conjuctiva and a profuse discharge was noted one hour after administration of the test substance.
Signs of irritation for the unwashed eye between the 24 and 72 hour examination included corneal opacity (grade 1), redness of the conjunctiva redness (grade 3) and chemosis (grade 3) of the nictitating membrane/or lids. In addition, staining of the cornea and conjunctiva were apparent for the unwashed eye when fluorescein dye was applied at the 24-hour examination. These changes were sufficient to characterize the response as significant irritation. Thus, the mean values for corneal opacity, iris and conjunctival irritation and chemosis were 0.33, 0, 2.33, and 3.00, respectively. At the end of the observation period as recommended in OECD TG 405 of 21 days, conjunctival redness grade 2 was still apparent in the unwashed eye. Therefore the observation period was prolonged up to 28 days after which all signs of eye irritation had reversed. However, since only one eye was available for assessment of effects on the eye and the observed effects were not reversible within the recommended observation period, irreversible effects on the eyes cannot be excluded. Thus, the test item should be classified as causing serious eye damage.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin irritation of N-(2-(4-Amino-N-ethyl-m-toluidino)ethyl)methanesulphonamide sesquisulphate do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
N-(2-(4-Amino-N-ethyl-m-toluidino)ethyl)methanesulphonamide sesquisulphate is classified as serious eye damage/eye irritation category 1 with the hazard statement H318 ‘Causes serious eye damage.’ according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
