Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight (score 1, 1/3 rabbits) or well defined erythema (score 2, 2/3 rabbits) and very slight edema (score 1, 3/3 rabbits) was observed within 1 hour after removal of the patches. At the 24, 48 and 72 h reading time point, all animals had well defined erythema (score 2). Very slight edema (score 1) remained in all rabbits until 48 h after path removal. At study Day 7 there were no local signs of erythema and edema. However, slight scales were observed in 2/3 animals and moderate scales were observed in 1/3 animals on day 7 of observation.
Other effects:
Coloration:
In the area of application, brown staining of the treated skin by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed in all animals at each of the reading time points.

Body weights:
The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar.

Clinical symptoms / Mortality:
No acute clinical symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period, and no mortality occurred.

Necropsy:
No necropsy was performed. All animals were killed and discarded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
All animals showed erythema and edema, which were fully reversible within 7 days. However, slight to moderate scales were observed in all three rabbits until the end of the 7 days observation period. Due to the shortened observation period of 7 instead of 14 days the reversibility of scales formation is unclear. Based on these findings and on a worst case approach, the substance is classified as Skin Irrit. 2 (H315) according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
CLP: Skin irrit. 2, H315. Classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
