Description of key information
Skin irritation: A single semi-occlusive application of D.I.X.T. to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited well-defined to moderate dermal irritation, but not sufficient for classification as an irritant.
Eye irritation: Instillation of D.I.X.T. into the rabbit eye did not elicit a positive response in any of the six treated animals according to the test guideline criteria.

- TEST SITE
Approximately 24 hours prior to application of the test substance, hair was removed with electric clippers from the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit exposing an area of skin approximately 10 cm square.
A 0.5 ml aliquot of D.I.X.T. was applied under a 2.5 cm square gauze pad to one intact skin site on each animal.
Each treatment site was occluded with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for a four hour period. The animals were not restrained during the exposure period and were returned to their cages.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
At the end of the exposure period, the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the treatment site was washed using distilled water to remove any residual test substance.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Grading and scoring of the dermal reactions were performed using the prescribed numerical scoring system as follows:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema: 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible): 1
Well-defined erythema: 2
Moderate to severe erythema: 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth): 4
Oedema formation:
No oedema: 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible): 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising): 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre): 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond the area of exposure): 4
Any other lesion not covered by this scoring system, will be described. - Irritation parameter:

Additional information
Skin Irritation:
Introduction:
The experimental procedure used followed the Testing Guidelines as described in the Federal Register, Vol. 50, No. 188, Part 11 of 27 September 1985, Section 798.4470 - Primary Dermal Irritation.
Results:
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of 6 New Zealand White strain rabbits produced the following results:
Very slight erythema and oedema was observed in all six rabbits following removal of the bandages on Day 1. Very slight to well-defined erythema with or without very slight oedema was seen in all six rabbits on Day 2. These reactions ameliorated in two animals and had resolved completely by Day 4 in these animals.
Well-defined erythema with slight to moderate oedema developed in the four remaining animals.
Well-defined dermal reactions persisted in four animals at Day 14.
Desquamation of the stratum corneum was seen in three animals.
Conclusion:
A single semi-occlusive application of D.I.X.T. to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited well-defined to moderate dermal irritation.

Respiratory irritation:
As the substance has shown evidence of causing some irritation effects and is a skin sensitiser, it can be assumed that it may have the potential cause respiratory irritation if inhaled.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of relevant results. The study has been assigned a reliability 2 and is the only available skin irritation study.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of relevant results. The study has been assigned a reliability 2 and is the only available eye irritation study.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation:
The skin irritation study showed the substance to cause some irritating effects, but these have been considered to not be sufficient to cause classification.
The mean scores for erythema and oedema, calculated for each individual animal (using the scores at Days 2, 3 and 4) were all below the CLP criteria for classification of ≥2.3 to ≤4.0. The mean scores for all animals combined was 1.5 for erythema and 1.1 for oedema.
Irritation persisted until the end of the study (Day 14) in 4 of the 6 animals. This would potentially mean classification was applicable under the CLP criteria, however classification has not been considered appropriate in this case taking into account the nature of the effects observed throughout the study.
The substance and skin irritation study have previously been reviewed by the UK HSE with regards to whether classifcation and labelling as a skin irritant was applicable. The conclusion was that the substance should not be classified as a skin irritant. It is considered that some of the irriation caused by the substance may be due to the sulfur impurity.
A classification for skin irritation has therefore not been applied. However, the substance should be considered to have the potential to cause some dermal irritation effects if exposure occurs.
Eye irritation:
The results of the eye irritation study have been assessed against the CLP regulation criteria for reversible eye effects (Irritating to eyes Category 2). According to this criteria a substance produce a postive response when
- corneal opacity ≥1 and/or
- iritis ≥1, and/or
- conjunctival redness ≥ 2, and/or
- conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2
calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was seen in any of the animals. The maximum mean score for redness in any animal was 0.67. The maximum mean score for chemosis in any animals was 0.33. All effects were fully reversible within 2 to 4 days.
It is therefore concluded that the CLP criteria for classification is not met.
