Additional information

In a primary dermal irritation study (BASF 1967), Vienna White rabbits (two males and one female) were dermally exposed to 2 mL of undiluted test item for either 1, 5 or 15 minutes or 20 hours to six sites on the dorsum each (occlusive treatment, approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area each). Animals then were observed for 3 to 8 days. Irritation was scored at first by a grading system of the data owner, converted later into the scoring of Draize. Minimal signs of skin irritation (erythema grade 1) were noted after the 20 h exposure period in one animal at the 24h and 48h reading. In this study, the test item is not a dermal irritant. No labelling is required.

In a primary eye irritation study (BASF 1967), 0.05 mL (56 mg) of 4-acetylmorpholine was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of Vienna White rabbits (one male / one female). Eyes were not washed. Animals were then observed for 8 days. A 72 h readout could not be identified from the raw data, but as no irritation occurred throughout the entire observation period, the 72 h data point was not necessary for an evaluation. Irritation was scored at first by a grading system of the data owner, converted later into the scoring of Draize. 4-acetylmorpholine did not induce eye irritating effects at any of the time points examinated.

Respiratory irritation is not expected since the substance is not irritating to skin and eye and did not cause any clinical signs in the acute inhalation toxicity study when rats were exposed to a vapor saturated atmosphere (BASF, 1967).



Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The key study was selected.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The key study was selected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, the test item is not subject to C&L according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
