Description of key information
Skin irritation
The dermal irritation potential of test chemical was assessed in various experimental studies conducted on rabbits and guinea pigs for test and its structurally similar read across chemical. The predicted data using Danish QSAR database has also been compared with the experimental data. Based on the available data for the key and supporting studies, it can be concluded that the test chemical is able to cause skin irritation and thus considered as irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2”.
Eye irritation
An ocular irritation potential of target chemical was assessed in various experimental studies conducted on rabbits for test and its structurally similar read across chemical. Based on the available data for the key and supporting studies, it can be concluded that the test chemical is able to cause eye damage and thus can be considered as irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2”.

Additional information
Skin irritation
Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in-vivo experiments conducted for target chemicaland its structurally similar read across substance on guinea pigs and rabbits.The predicted data using the Danish QSAR database has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;
The skin irritation study was conducted on guinea pigs to assess the skin irritation potential of test chemical. The test chemical was applied on each guinea pig at concentration of 0.25-1.0 g/kg by using rubber dam cuff. Although no escars or scarring were present at 2 weeks, superficial necrosis occurred during the period of exposure. No evidence of percutaneous absorption. Thus the test chemical can be considered as moderately irritating to the skin of treated guinea pigs.
In the next dermal irritation study, the test chemical was applied at 1.0 g/kg concentration to guinea pig skin. Slight edema, staining and blister like spots. Scattered light eschars, sparse hair and some erythema at 1 wk. Light scars at 2 wks. Since the test chemical can cause skin irritation, it was considered as skin irritating to the skin.
Another skin irritation study was conducted on five guinea pigs to assess the skin irritation potential of test chemical. About 50 % of test chemical was applied on each guinea pig with total nine application for 11 days. The test chemical caused slight erythema, moderate eschar and strong staining. Hence the test chemical can be considered as irritating to the skin.
According to Danish QSAR database, skin irritating effects were estimated by using four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra for test chemical. Based on estimation, known skin irritating effects were observed when test chemical was exposed to rabbits’ skin. Hence, the test chemical can be considered as skin irritant.
The above results were further supported by a dermal irritation study conducted on New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical. In the initial test one healthy rabbit of body weight 2.00 kg was selected for the study after acclimatization. The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied at the different sites on the shaven back skin of animal. The hairs of back sides were removed (approximately 6 cm2) one day earlier before the treatment. The test substance in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied to a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin and covered with a gauze patch, which was held in place with non-irritating tape. The first patch was applied on the shaven back skin of rabbit and removed after three minutes. No serious reaction was observed at the site of application. The second patch was applied on the different shaven back side and removed after one hour. There were no signs of skin reaction observed at this site of application. Finally, a third patch was applied at a different site and was removed after four hour. Slight redness was observed at the site of application of test compound after four hour patch removal. This condition was recovered after 24 hours. Finally, the animal was observed for 14 days, for any irritation and corrosion. Because no corrosive effect observed in the initial test, a confirmatory test was done in order to confirm the irritant or negative response of the test substance by using two additional animals. In the confirmatory test the test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied on the shaven back skin of two animals, each with one patch, for an exposure period of four hours. After four hours the patch was removed and the skin reactions were graded according to Draize’s method. The test compound produced slightly redness after four hour patch removal upto 24 hours. There were no other clinical signs and symptoms recorded during the entire observation period. The dermal irritation index of the test chemical in New Zealand white rabbits was calculated as 0.42 and test compound can be classified under "Slight irritant ".
Based on the available data for key and supporting studies, it can be concluded that test chemical is able to cause skin irritation and considered as irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2”.
Eye irritation:
In different studies, the test chemical has been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits for target chemical that have been summarized as below;
The eye irritation study was conducted to determine the adverse eye effects caused by the chemicals. About 0.1 ml of undiluted test chemical was instilled into the eyes of each rabbit and the eyes were scored at 1 hr,24 hr,48 hr,7 days and 14 days. The test chemical caused moderate to strong eye irritation, residual corneal damage and notched lid at 14 days. Thus the chemical can be considered as irritating to the eyes of treated rabbits.
In next ocular study, the instillation of 10 mg of the test substance entailed strong conjunctivitis, iritis and moderate corneal turbidity that nearly subsided only after 21 days. When the eye was rinsed following treatment, the injuries subsided with 14 days. Although the effects were subsided but on the basis of observed effects the test chemical can be considered as irritating to the eyes.
Another eye irritation study was conducted on rabbits to determine its eye irritation potential. When 0.1 ml of test chemical was instilled into the eyes of rabbits, it triggered moderate irritation in rabbit’s eye. Hence the test chemical was considered as irritating to the eyes of treated rabbits.
The above results were further supported by the eye-irritating ability of a face powder containing 0.2 percent test chemical was studied in six albino New Zealand rabbits. The test material was instilled into one eye of each animal in a single 0.1 ml dose; the untreated eye of each rabbit served as control. Average eye irritation scores 24 and 48 hours following exposure to the face powder were 2 and 0, respectively (the maximum possible score per observation was 110). The author concluded the test chemical as minimal irritating to the eye of treated albino rabbits.
Based on the available data for key and supporting studies, it can be concluded that test chemical is able to cause eye irritation and considered as irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical were observed in various studies. The results obtained from these studies indicates that the chemical is able to cause skin and eye irritation. Hence the test chemical can be classified under the category “Category 2” for skin and eye as per CLP.
