Description of key information

The test substance was applied on the skin of 3 rabbits. No signs of irritation were observed during the 7 day observation period (PSL, 2001).
The test substance was shown to be irritant to the eyes when applied in the eyes of 3 rabbits. The effects were reversible after 7 days (PSL, 2001)
Studies with formulations of the analogue DNNSA showed that this substance is not irritating to the skin and ia severe eye irritant.

Additional information

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The key study is similar to a guideline study and performed under GLP

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Key study according to the guideline and performed under GLP

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results the substance is considered non-irritant to the skin, but irritating to the eyes. According to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008) the substance needs to be classified H319 (category 2: Causes serious eye irritation)
