Preliminary investigations (Table 1):


Well-defined erythema with very slight or slight oedema developed at the 60 minutes and 4 hours exposure sites at the 24 hours reading.


By the 48 hours reading, the dermal reactions had ameliorated to very slight erythema and oedema at the 60 minutes exposure site but had progressed to severe necrotic lesions with slight oedema at the 4 hours exposure site. The necrotic lesions persisted at the 72 hours reading.


No dermal reactions were recorded at the 3 and 30 minutes exposure sites.


 


Confirmatory study (Table 2)


Very slight or well-defined erythema with or without very slight or slight oedema was seen at both sites of all three rabbits at the 24 hours reading. These dermal reactions were also recorded at three sites at the 48 hours reading and six sites at the 72 hours reading.

Interpretation of results:

Conclusions:
The skin irritation property of the registration substance formulation (36% in water) was tested equivalent to OECD 404. After 4 hours exposure, the treated animals exhibited either necrosis or effects that was not fully reversible within 72hours of observation period. It is justified to assign R 34 for the registration substance according to 67/548/EEC(DSD), or Cat 1C according to GHS.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation property of the registration substance formulation (36% in water) was tested equivalent to OECD 404. After 4 hours exposure, the treated animals exhibited either necrosis or effects that was not fully reversible within 72 hours of observation period. After up to 1 hour exposure, no or reversible irritating effects were observed. It is justified to assign R 34 for the registration substance according to 67/548/EEC(DSD), or Skin Corr. Cat 1C according to GHS.

Additional information

Skin irritation:


The skin irritation property of the registration substance formulation (36% in water) was tested equivalent to OECD 404. After 4 hours exposure, the treated animals exhibited either necrosis or effects that was not fully reversible within 72 hours of observation period. After up to 1 hour exposure, no or only reversible irritating effects were observed. It is justified to assign Skin Corr. Cat 1C according to GHS.


 


Eye irritation:


The registration substance at 36% was investigated for its eye irritation property (method applied was equivalent to OECD 405). Scores of uo to 86 (MMTS) were obtained and there was no indication of recovery within the observation period of 168 hours.


It is justified to assign Eye Dam.1 according to GHS.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Scientifically well-performed study
