7 d after application, scabbing was observed on the abraded skin in all rabbits and also on the intact skin of 3 rabbits.
- Necropsy findings: Intact skin: In one rabbit, vessels in the subcutaneous connective tissue definitely injected; muscles without any abnormalities
Abraded skin: In two rabbits, vessels in the subcutaneous connective tissue definitely injected; muscles without any abnormalities - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The substance is not considered to be classified for irritation, because the GHS criteria are not met. The mean values of erythema as well as edema are below the value of 1.5, which is the range limit of category 3, for 3 out of the 6 animals. The remaining 3 animals showed erythema with mean values (24 h and 72 h) between 2 and 3.
3 of 6 animals showed formation of crusts 7 d after application. Although there was no later observation time point it can be assumed that these effects would have been reversible within an additional week. - Executive summary:
In this pre-GLP skin irritation study on rabbits the test substance was applied undiluted to the clipped skin (intact and abraded) of 6 rabbits. Untreated skin sites served as negative control. An occlusive coverage was used and the exposure period was 24 h. After 24 h and 72 h the effects were assessed and scaled based on Draize. An additional reading was made after 7 d in the case of findings after 72 h. The mean values of erythema as well as edema are below the value of 1.5, which is the range limit of category 3, for 3 out of the 6 animals. The remaining 3 animals showed erythema with mean values (24 h and 72 h) between 2 and 3. Thus the GHS criteria are not met and therefore the test substance is not considered to be classified for irritation.

Additional information
Skin irritation/ corrosion:
In a pre-GLP skin irritation study the test substance was applied undiluted to the clipped skin (intact and abraded) of 6 albino rabbits (sex not specified). Untreated skin sites served as negative control. An occlusive coverage was used and the exposure period was 24 h. After 24 h and 72 h the effects were assessed and scaled based on Draize. An additional reading was made after 7 d in the case of findings after 72 h. The mean values of erythema as well as edema are below the value of 1.5, which is the range limit of category 3, for 3 out of the 6 animals. The remaining 3 animals showed erythema with mean values (24 h and 72 h) between 2 and 3. Three of six animals showed formation of crusts 7 d after application. Although there was no later observation time point it can be assumed that these effects would have been reversible within an additional week.
This result is supported by data from 6 volunteers, who did not show any skin reactions upon 24h exposure to the test substance, moistened either with oil or water.
Eye irritation:
6 albino rabbits were treated with 0.1ml of the test substance, which was applied to one eye (the other eye served as negative control). The severity of the irritation was assessed according to Draize. All animals showed slightly to moderate redness and swelling of the conjunctiva within the first 24 hours after application of the test susbstance. After 48 hours, slight redness (6/6 animals) and slight swelling (5/6 animals) was still observed and vanished completely in all animals after 72 h. All mean (24, 48, 72h) values remained below 1. Cornea and iris were not affected. Thus the substance is considered not to cause eye irritation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for irritation under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
