- Executive summary:
The skin irritation potential of the test material was evaluated in this study with New Zealand White rabbits. One group of three rabbits received a volume of 0.5 ml of the test substance applied in a patch 2.5cm by 2.5cm. on the upper third of the back or the flanks. The fur was removed by clipping. The material was first heated to 90C, then cooled to body temperature for application. Following the application, each site was covered with a semiocclusive dressing. Four hours post-dose, the dressings were removed. The exposure sites were cleaned to remove as much non-absorbed test article as possible. The exposure sites were examined and scored separately for both erythema and edema at the following time periods after removal of the patch: 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 8d and 15d.
The evaluation of erythema was not possible, because the test substance caused red coloration of skin. The mean edema score was 2.7 and the findings were not reversible after 15 days. Pathological-Anatomical examination of 1 animal in the area of application showed surface raised, palpatory slight thickening of tissue. The Histopatholoogical examination showed minimal infiltration with neutrophil granulocyte.
Based on these observations and the edema score, the substance should be classified according to EU criteria as Skin Irritant Category 2.

- Washing (if done): Yes
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours
Initially 3 animals had the test substance applied. As the irritant potential of the substance was unknown, 1 animal was tested as a first step. As no severe findings were noted, another 2 rabbits were tested. To clarify the results, a further animal was tested.
Animal 1 initially application date 03-Nov-97
Animals 2 and 3 application date: 10-Nov-97
The effects were reversible in 2 animals, In one animal, opacity grade 1 over an area of less than a quarter was observed from 24 hours to 28 days. As no effects on the cornea were observed in the other 2 animals, and the grade or size of the observed corneal opacity did not change during the observation period, it was assumed that it was not related to the test substance. Therefore another animal was tested and the animal with corneal opacity was excluded from the evaluation of eye irritancy properites of the test substance.
Animal 4 application date: 12-Jan 1998.
The findings which were noted in animal 4 were reversible within 48 hours after application, thus the observation period for this animal was terminated after 72 hours. - Irritation parameter:

- Executive summary:
The test material was assessed for eye irritation/corrosion according to the Method B.5 Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation/Corrosion. Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, and OECD Test guideline 405.
The potential of the test substance to cause damage to the conjuntiva, iris or cornea was assessed in 4 white New Zealand rabbits, subjected to a singular ocular application of 0.1ml of the test susbstance. The eyes were examined at 1 hour, 24 hours, 46 hours and 72 hours. For 2 of the animals examinations were also carried out at 8, 15, 21 and 28 days. One animal was subsequently excluded from the study due to eye effects not attributable to the test substance. The avergage score (24 to 74 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.0 for corneal opacity, 0.0 for Iris, 0.5 for Conjunctival redness and 0.2 for Chemosis.
The individual animal mean scores for the 24, 48 and 72 hr time-point indicated that this material would not be classified under EU regulations.
Reference
The mean scores were calculated based on the readings at 24 hour, 48 hours and 72 hours. The full individual readings are tabulated below. Animal 2 was excluded from the mean calculations as it was determined that the effects seen were not due to the test substance.

Additional information
IN VIVO SKIN IRRITATION:
The skin irritation potential of the test material was evaluated in this study with New Zealand White rabbits. One group of three rabbits received a volume of 0.5 ml of the test substance applied in a patch 2.5cm by 2.5cm. on the upper third of the back or the flanks. The fur was removed by clipping. The material was first heated to 90C, then cooled to body temperature for application. Following the application, each site was covered with a semiocclusive dressing. Four hours post-dose, the dressings were removed. The exposure sites were cleaned to remove as much non-absorbed test article as possible. The exposure sites were examined and scored separately for both erythema and edema at the following time periods after removal of the patch: 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 8d and 15d.
The evaluation of erythema was not possible, because the test substance caused red coloration of skin. The mean edema score was 2.7 and the findings were not reversible after 15 days. Pathological-Anatomical examination of 1 animal in the area of application showed surface raised, palpatory slight thickening of tissue. The Histopatholoogical examination showed minimal infiltration with neutrophil granulocyte.
Based on these observations and the edema score, the substance should be classified according to EU criteria as Skin Irritant Category 2.
IN VIVO EYE IRRITATION
The potential of the test substance to cause damage to the conjunctiva, iris or cornea was assessed in 4 white New Zealand rabbits, subjected to a singular ocular application of 0.1ml of the test subsstance. The avergage score (24 to 74 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.0 for corneal opacity, 0.0 for Iris, 0.5 for Conjunctival redness and 0.2 for Chemosis. First 1 animal was tested and as no severe findings were noted a further 2 animals were tested. In one of these rabbits grade 1 opacity was observed from 24 hours until 28 days. As no corneal effects were seen in the other 2 animals, and the grade and size of the observed corneal opacity did not change, it was assumed that this could not be attributed to the test substance. This animal was therefore excluded from the calculation of the mean and a fourth confirmatory animal was tested.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to eye irritation.
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does require classification with respect to skin irritation as Category 2 (H315; Causes skin irritation).
