SCORING SYSTEM: Primary Irritation Index of Draize. Erythema and Eschar and Oedema measured.
Irritation parameter:
erythema score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
0
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritation parameter:
edema score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
0
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Individual observation of skin reaction at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after the patch removal showed no formation of erythema, eschar and oedema. Therefore the primary irritation index of the test item was calculated to be 0.
Other effects:
There were neither dead animals nor detectable clinical signs in all test animals which could be considered to be due to the test item application. The bodyweights of two animals measured at 24 h were lower than measured at 0 h. All animals showed normal body weight gain at 72 h.

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test substance was assessed for skin irritation according to OECD Guideline 404. The test substance induced no dermal irritation when applied to male New Zealand white rabbits and was therefore considered a non-irritant. In addition, there was no mortality and no treatment-related clinical signs were observed.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test substance was assessed for eye irritation in three healthy New Zealand white rabbits. No clinical sings, body weight changes, body weight changes, dead animals or abnormal eye reaction considered to be due to test item were observed. The test item was considered to be non-irritating to eyes.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Skin irritation

In an in vivo skin irritation study to OECD guideline 404 and GLP, the substance was found not to be irritating to skin.

Eye irritation

In an in vivo eye irritation study to OECD guideline 405 and GLP, the substance was found not to be irritating to eyes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation/corrosion: Mean scores at 24, 48 & 72 hours for erythema were <2.3 (actual value 0) and for edema were <2.3 (actual value 0).

Serious eye damage/eye irritation: Mean scores at 24, 48 & 72 hours for corneal opacity were <1 (actual value 0), for iris were <1 (actual value 0), for conjunctival redness were <2 (actual value 0) and for chemosis were <1 (actual value 0).

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.2.2 & 3.3.2, this substance should not be classified for the Skin irritation/corrosion and Serious eye damage/eye irritation endpoints.
