- Irritant / corrosive response data:

- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Although the study concluded that the test material was slightly irritating, when assessed according to Directive 67/548/EEC, the results do not indicate classification as irritating. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- MMB-Ac is slightly irritant to rabbit skin.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal irritation potential of a test material, MMB-Ac, was investigated in 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Very slight erythema (score I) was noted at all test sites at the 1 h and 24 h assessments, with full recovery noted at 4B h after patch removal. MMB-Ac is slightly irritant to rabbit skin.

Additional information
Skin irritation
A skin irritation study was conducted to determine the skin irritant effects of the test material. The study was conducted in compliance with GLP, and the methodology used was broadly consistent with modern test guidelines. Three New Zealand White rabbits were clipped of hair on a portion of their backs, and 0.5 mL of the liquid test substance was applied for 4 hours. The test substance was held in place by use of a gauze patch. At the end of the exposure period, the test material was removed with a water dampened tissue. The application site was assessed for signs of irritation 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the removal of the patch.
A maximum erythema score of 1 (very slight erythema) was seen in all animals at 1 hour and 24 hours following patch removal, however this was fully reversible within 48 hours. No oedematous responses were seen.
It was concluded that the test substance was slightly irritant to rabbit skin.
Eye irritation
A eye irritation study was conducted to determine the eye irritant effects of the test material. The study was conducted in compliance with GLP, and the methodology used was broadly consistent with modern test guidelines. The 0.1 mL of the liquid test material was instilled into one eye of each of three New Zealand White rabbits; the other eye of each animal was left untreated as a control. The animals were visually assessed using a hand magnifier and torch 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after instillation.
Conjunctival redness (score = 1) was seen in all animals, and iris lesions and chemosis was seen in one animal (score = 1) at the 1 hour timepoint. In each case the observations were not severe, and the irritant effects were fully reversible within 24 hours of test material instillation.
The test material was concluded to be slightly irritating to rabbit eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In the skin irritation test, a maximum erythema score of 1 was seen, which fully reversed within 48 hours of exposure. In the eye irritation test, a maximum conjunctivae score of 1 was seen in all animals, and iris irritancy and chemosis were only seen in 1 of 3 animals, and all irritant observations were fully reversible within 24 hours.
On the basis of these results, the test material does not meet the criteria for classification as either a skin or eye irritant as described in either the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) or in the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (EC Regulation 1272/2008).
