Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 404 on three healthy young adult female New Zealand White rabbits. The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively. No erythema and no edema (skin irritation) were observed at 72 hours observation period after patch removal. Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the skin of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
Eye Irritation:
Acute eye irritation/corrosion study of test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 405 on three healthy young adult female New Zealand White rabbits. The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were observed to be 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.33; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00 respectively. Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed within 72 hours. Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the eyes of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 404. Three healthy young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were used for conducting acute dermal irritation/corrosion study. Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and at termination. Rabbits with good intact skin were selected for the study. The hairs of all the rabbits were clipped at contralateral sites, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A dose of 0.5 ml of test item (as such) was applied to the skin, over an area of approximately 6 x 6 cm clipped of hair on one side of rabbits. The other untreated side was kept as control area and 0.5 ml of distilled water was applied at this site. At the end of 4 hours, the gauze patch was removed and test item application site was wiped with water without altering the integrity of the epidermis.
Initially, the test item was applied to the clipped area of skin of one rabbit. The test site was covered with gauze patch. Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema was observed at 1 hour of observation. At 24 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema was observed. At 48 and 72 hours observation no erythema and no edema was observed in animal no 1.Hence the confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (no. 2 and 3) to confirm the non-irritant nature of the test item.
The patch was removed after 4 hours and rabbits were observed for erythema and oedema at 1, 24, and 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, evaluated and graded as per Draize method. In animal no 3, at 1 hour observation post patch removal, reveled very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema whereas Animal No.2 showed no erythema and edema. At 24, 48 and 72 hours, animal nos. 2 and 3 showed no erythema and no oedema.
The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively.No erythema and no edema (skin irritation) were observed at 72 hours observation period after patch removal.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the skin of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

Acute eye irritation/corrosion study was conducted in rabbits to evaluate the eye irrritant nature of the test chemical. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines using 3 female New Zealand White rabbits.
Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas; 0.1 ml of test item was instilled in the other (treated) eye of each rabbit. The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hour, day 7, day 14 and day 21 for animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour after test item instillation. Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions
In the initial test, 0.1 g of test item (as such) was applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of animal no.1 whereas the left eye of the rabbit served as the control. As animal no. 1 showed no severe ocular lesions a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (animal no. 2 and 3); 0.1g of test item (in pulverized form) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of both the rabbits and left eye served as the control.
Untreated eye of all the three rabbits were normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours.
Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in animal no. 1 whereas no swelling (normal) was observed in animal no. 2 and 3.At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 50%, 30% and 30% damage in animal no. 1,2 and 3 respectively. Corneal damage had reversed at 72 hours observation period in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 48 hours in animal no. 2.
Observation at 48 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was observed in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas blood vessels normal in animal no. 2; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Blood vessels normal in all the animals; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were observed to be 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.33; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00 respectively.

Skin irritation
Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 404. Three healthy young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were used for conducting acute dermal irritation/corrosion study. Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and at termination. Rabbits with good intact skin were selected for the study. The hairs of all the rabbits were clipped at contralateral sites, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A dose of 0.5 ml of test item (as such) was applied to the skin, over an area of approximately 6 x 6 cm clipped of hair on one side of rabbits. The other untreated side was kept as control area and 0.5 ml of distilled water was applied at this site. At the end of 4 hours, the gauze patch was removed and test item application site was wiped with water without altering the integrity of the epidermis.
Initially, the test item was applied to the clipped area of skin of one rabbit. The test site was covered with gauze patch. Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema was observed at 1 hour of observation. At 24 hour very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema was observed. At 48 and 72 hours observation no erythema and no edema was observed in animal no 1.Hence the confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (no. 2 and 3) to confirm the non-irritant nature of the test item.
The patch was removed after 4 hours and rabbits were observed for erythema and oedema at 1, 24, and 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, evaluated and graded as per Draize method. In animal no 3, at 1 hour observation post patch removal, reveled very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema whereas Animal No.2 showed no erythema and edema. At 24, 48 and 72 hours, animal nos. 2 and 3 showed no erythema and no oedema.
The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.33, 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, for erythema and oedema formation, respectively. No erythema and no edema (skin irritation) were observed at 72 hours observation period after patch removal.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the skin of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
Eye irritation
Acute eye irritation/corrosion study was conducted in rabbits to evaluate the eye irrritant nature of the test chemical. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines using 3 female New Zealand White rabbits.
Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas; 0.1 ml of test item was instilled in the other (treated) eye of each rabbit. The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hour, day 7, day 14 and day 21 for animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour after test item instillation. Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions.
In the initial test, 0.1 g of test item (as such) was applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of animal no.1 whereas the left eye of the rabbit served as the control. As animal no. 1 showed no severe ocular lesions a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (animal no. 2 and 3); 0.1g of test item (in pulverized form) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of both the rabbits and left eye served as the control.
Untreated eye of all the three rabbits were normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours.
Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in animal no. 1 whereas no swelling (normal) was observed in animal no. 2 and 3.At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 50%, 30% and 30% damage in animal no. 1,2 and 3 respectively. Corneal damage had reversed at 72 hours observation period in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 48 hours in animal no. 2.
Observation at 48 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was observed in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas blood vessels normal in animal no. 2; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Blood vessels normal in all the animals; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were observed to be 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.33; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00 respectively.
Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed within 72 hours.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the eyes of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical was observed in experimental studies. The results obtained from these studies indicate that the test chemical is not likely to cause skin and eye irritation. Hence the test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
