- Executive summary:
In a dermal irritation study, 0.5 g of undiluted test material was dermally applied on the intact or abraded side surface of 6 albino rabbits. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 h. These deviations from OECD Test Guideline No. 404 were noted: the exposure period was 24 hours instead of 4 hours, occlusive dressing was used instead of semi-occlusive dressing, and the animals were observed for 3 days instead of 14 days although complete reversibility was not achieved. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 and 72 h after the removal of the patch. Under the test conditions, the test material induced very slight to well defined erythema (Mean 24 -72 h = 1.5 / 2 / 1.5 / 1.5 / 1.5 /1.5) and very slight oedema (Mean 24 -72 h = 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1). According to these scores, the test material is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and is classified "Mild skin irritant Cat.3" according to the GHS.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control:
The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 1.044 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 2.3%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control:
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 12.4% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 3.3%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements:
- Range of historical values if different from the ones specified in the test guideline: The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated test item tissues was 1.9%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
For the previous 17 experiments up to the start of this study (approximately 6 months data) using this test method, the mean OD of the positive control was 0.115 ± 0.053 and the mean percentage viability was 14.1 ± 6.5. In this same period the mean OD of the negative control was 0.862 ± 0.131. Although the negative control parameter for this study was greater than range based on the previous 17 experiments the negative control was within the defined acceptance criterion for this test method using the EpiSkinTM Reconstructed Human Epidermis Model ie ≥0.6 and ≤ 1.5. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, test item was classified as irritant according to the annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP, using the EPISKINTM reconstructed human epidermis model. Triplicate tissues were treated with the test item for an exposure period of 15 minutes. At the end of the exposure period each tissue was rinsed before incubating for 42 hours. At the end of the post‑exposure incubation period each tissue was taken for MTT-loading. The maintenance medium from beneath each tissue was transferred to pre‑labelled micro tubes and stored in a freezer for possible inflammatory mediator determination. After MTT-loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT‑loaded tissues. At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 µL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre‑labelled 96‑well plate. The optical density was measured at 562 nm.
Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues). The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 9.2% after the 15‑minute exposure period and 42 hours post‑exposure incubation period.
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 12.4% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 3.3%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The mean OD562for the negative control treated tissues was 1.044 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 2.3%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated test item tissues was 1.9%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
Under the test conditions, test item was classified as irritant according to the annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 6 albino rabbits while the left eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of test material. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale of scoring ocular lesions.
The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for redness, 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for chemosis, 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for iris lesions and corneal opacity. The observed conjunctival reactions were disappeared completely within 2 days.
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Although some details on test animals and experimental conditions were missing, this study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.

Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion:
In a dermal irritation study, 0.5 g of undiluted test material was dermally applied on the intact or abraded side surface of 6 albino rabbits. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 h. These deviations from OECD Test Guideline No. 404 were noted: the exposure period was 24 hours instead of 4 hours, occlusive dressing was used instead of semi-occlusive dressing, and the animals were observed for 3 days instead of 14 days although complete reversibility was not achieved. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 and 72 h after the removal of the patch. Under the test conditions, the test material induced very slight to well defined erythema (Mean 24 -72 h = 1.5 / 2 / 1.5 / 1.5 / 1.5 /1.5) and very slight oedema (Mean 24 -72 h = 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1). According to these scores, the test material is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and is classified "Mild skin irritant Cat.3" according to the GHS.
Moreover, a new in vitro study was conducted on the substance. The skin irritation potential of the test material was evaluated using the EPISKIN reconstructed human epidermis model after a treatment period of 15 minutes followed by a post-exposure incubation period of 42 hours. This test was designed to be compatible with the OECD Test Guideline No. 439 and was performed in compliance with GLP. The quality criteria required for acceptance of results in the test were satisfied. The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 9.2 %, after the 15‑minute exposure period. With a tissue viability < 50%, the test material was considered to be irritant to skin.
Eye irritation:
A key study was identified (Biosearch, 1981, Rel.2). In this eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD Test Guideline No 405, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits while the remained untreated eye served as control. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of test material. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale.
The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for redness, 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for chemosis, 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0.33 for iris lesions and corneal opacity. The observed conjunctival reactions were disappeared completely within 2 days.
Under the test conditions, the test material is not irritating to the eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Self-classification:
Based on in vivo (worst case exposure conditions) results, the substance should be not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and classified as Mild skin irritant Category 3 (H316: Causes mild skin irritation) according to the GHS.
No additional self-classification is proposed regarding eye irritation according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
No data was available regarding respiratory irritation.
