I = intact; A = abraded

Defatting effect: skin sloughed off in 10 - 14 days. No injury in depth.

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The TS was classified as severely skin irritating (24-hr exposure instead of 4-hr in the guideline).
Executive summary:

In this older study (Draize test), 6 New Zealand Albino rabbits were dosed with 0.5 mL of undiluted TS over 24 hrs to intact or abraded skin. The irritation score (24, 72 hrs average) was given with 6.5 and the effects were fully reversible within 168 hrs. The TS was in fine not classified as skin irritating in 4h.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: The site was examined and scored for erythema and oedema on a graded scale of 0 to 4. The mean score of each rabbit at each observation time and the group mean score of the 24, 48'and 72 hours post-dosing readings were calculated.

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on this study, 1,3-DIPB is considered as mild irritant, but not classified according to CLP criteria (Cat. 3 of GHS)
Executive summary:

In this study, 6 New Zealand Albino rabbits were dosed with 0.5 mL of pure 1,3-DIPB over 4 hrs to the shaved skin under semi-occlusive conditions.

By 24 hours post-dosing all rabbits had slight inflammation of the treated sites which progressed to moderate inflammation at 48 and 72 hours. The responses at 7 days post-dosing were similar to those observed at 24 hours but by 14 days all skin reactions had cleared.

The group mean 24, 48 and 72 hour scores for erythema and oedema were 2.1 and 0.8 respectively.

On the basis of these scores the test material is not considered as a skin irritant according to CLP criteria.

SCORING SYSTEM: similar to OECD guideline
A visual assessment of eye irritancy was made at I hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation. Irritancy was scored for the cornea, iris and conjunctivae using the standard scores.
The group mean 24, 48 and 72 hour scores for corneal opacity. iritic effects and conjunctival redness and chemosis were calculated.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
All rabbits showed very slight conjunctival redness and some also had very slight chemosis and/or discharge; these latter two effects were only observed at 1 hour after dosing.
The group mean 24. 48 and 72 hour scores were 0.3 for redness and zero for chemosis, corneal opacity and lritic effects.
Other effects:
The instillation of undiluted 1,3-DIPB into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of six rabbits resulted in moderate initial pain.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on this study, 1,3-DIPB is not considered as irritating to the eyes in rabbits.
Executive summary:

In this study (similar to OECD guideline and GLP), the instillation of undiluted 1,3-DIPB into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of six

rabbits resulted in moderate initial pain. All rabbits showed very slight conjunctival redness and some also had very slight chemosis and/or

discharge; these latter two effects were only observed at 1 hour after dosing.

The group mean 24, 48 and 72 hour scores were 0.3 for redness and zero for chemosis, corneal opacity and lritic effects.

The test material therefore is not classified as an eye irritant according to CLP and GHS criteria.

Additional information

Skin irritation / corrosion

In an old study (Draize test), 6 New Zealand Albino rabbits were dosed with 0.5 mL of undiluted DIPB over 24 hrs to intact or abraded skin. The irritation score (24, 72 hrs average) was given with 6.5 and the effects were fully reversible within 168 hrs.

Two supportive studies confirm the weight of evidence for non irritation in 4 hours on normal rabbit skin.

The TS was in fine not classified as skin irritating in 4h.

Eye irritation

In an old study (Draize test), 6 New Zealand Albino rabbits were dosed with 0.1 mL of undiluted DIPB over 24 hrs. The irritation score (24, 48, 72 hrs average) was given with 3.2 and the effects were fully reversible within 72 hrs. The TS was classified as slightly irritant to the eyes (GHS criteria not met).

Two supportive studies confirm this result.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the classification criteria of UN/EU GHS, the results obtained in rabbits for dermal and eye irritation do not warrant a classification of DIPB for skin and eye irritation.
