Additional information

In the Acute skin irritation study, Patch-Test, none of the three rabbits exposed for 4 hrs to 500 mg BCI /patch and animal (semi-occlusive condition) showed any substance-related lesions at the examination time-points 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

In the Acute eye irritation study a single application of 100 mg BCI per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused the following effects: the cornea, iris and conjunctivae were not affected by instillation of the test compound. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
One available study

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
One available study

Justification for classification or non-classification

BCI was not irritating to skin and eyes, hence no labelling is required.
