Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
The overall irritation score of the substance was determined to be 0 and no erythema and edema (skin irritation) were found at the end of 14 days observation period after patch removal.
Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of female Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
Eye Irritation:
Mild conjunctival inflammation was observed in each animal. It can be considered that 2.5% aqueous test chemical solution (buffered to pH 7) was not an ocular irritant.

A study was designed and conducted to determine the dermal reaction profile of the test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures. 5 female young adult, non-pregnant rats were used for the study. The animals were kept in their cages for at least 5 days prior to administration for acclimatization to the laboratory condition and after acclimatization period, animals were randomly selected.
Approximately 24 hours before application, the hair of each rat was closely clipped from the trunk (dorsal surface and sides from scapular to pelvic area) with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. The test item was applied directly onto the exposed skin of the animal, taking care to spread the test item evenly over the entire area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area or as much of the area as can reasonably be covered. The test item was held in contact with the skin using
a porous gauze dressing and non irritating tape around the animal to cover the exposure site for first 24 hours exposure period. Elizabethan collar was placed on each animal for first 24 hours after application of the test item. These collars prevent ingestion of test item. Following 24 hours of exposure, the wrapping was removed and the test site wiped free of excess test item. Distilled water was used to remove residual test item.
\ A single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight of the test item was applied to 1 female animal respectively in the dose range finding study. Since no signs of irritation were observed at the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg in the test animals, 2 additional animals were tested in the main study with 2000 mg/kg. The animals were applied with a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight in sequential manner at 48 hours intervals. Dermal reaction was observed daily for study period of 14 days.
The overall irritation score of the substance was determined to be 0 and no erythema and edema (skin irritation) were found at the end of 14 days observation period after patch removal.
Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of female Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

Additional information
Skin Irritation
Various studies have been summarized to determine the degree of dermal irritation caused by the test chemical in living organisms. These results include in vivo experimental studies on rats as well as rabbits for the test chemicals.
A study was designed and conducted to determine the dermal reaction profile of the test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures. 5 female young adult, non-pregnant rats were used for the study. The animals were kept in their cages for at least 5 days prior to administration for acclimatization to the laboratory condition and after acclimatization period, animals were randomly selected.
Approximately 24 hours before application, the hair of each rat was closely clipped from the trunk (dorsal surface and sides from scapular to pelvic area) with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. The test item was applied directly onto the exposed skin of the animal, taking care to spread the test item evenly over the entire area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area or as much of the area as can reasonably be covered. The test item was held in contact with the skin using
a porous gauze dressing and non irritating tape around the animal to cover the exposure site for first 24 hours exposure period. Elizabethan collar was placed on each animal for first 24 hours after application of the test item. These collars prevent ingestion of test item. Following 24 hours of exposure, the wrapping was removed and the test site wiped free of excess test item. Distilled water was used to remove residual test item.
A single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight of the test item was applied to 1 female animal respectively in the dose range finding study. Since no signs of irritation were observed at the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg in the test animals, 2 additional animals were tested in the main study with 2000 mg/kg. The animals were applied with a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight in sequential manner at 48 hours intervals. Dermal reaction was observed daily for study period of 14 days.
The overall irritation score of the substance was determined to be 0 and no erythema and edema (skin irritation) were found at the end of 14 days observation period after patch removal.
Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of female Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
This is supported by the results of a similar study performed as per Consumer Product Safety Commission of the USA (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Sec. 1500.41) to evaluate the irritation potential of the test chemical.2.5% (w/v) Suspension of the test chemical in 0.5% aqueous gum tragacanth, containing 0.05% Na2SO3was applied to the intact and abraded skin of 3 New Zealand White albino rabbits. The rabbits were observed for signs of irritation till 72 hours and the reactions were scored based on the definition of skin irritation given in the (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Sec.1500.41).
None of the rabbits treated with the test chemical showed any signs of irritation during the 72 hours observation period. The Primary Irritation Index was 0.0.
Based on the scores and observations, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to albino New Zealand White rabbit skin.
The above results are further supported by a similar study performed as per Consumer Product Safety Commission of the USA (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Sec. 1500.41) to determine the irritation potential of the test chemical.2.5% (w/v) Suspension of the test chemical in 0.5% aqueous gum tragacanth, containing 0.05% Na2SO3was applied to the intact and abraded skin of 3 New Zealand White albino rabbits.

Based on the scores and observations, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to albino New Zealand White rabbit skin.
Considering the results of the in vivo studies, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to skin. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP Regulation, the test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Eye Irritation
Various studies have been summarized to determine the extent of ocular damage caused by the test chemical in living organisms. These results include in vivo experimental studies on rabbits for the test chemicals.
The eye irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in albino rabbits.
0.1 ml of 2.5% aqueous test chemical (buffered to pH 7) was instilled into the eyes of albino rabbits (N = 3) and the lids were held together for 1 second. At 10 seconds post-instillation, the eyes were rinsed with 20 mL of distilled water. Untreated eyes served as controls. Reactions were scored at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation.
Mild conjunctival inflammation was observed in each animal. It can be considered that 2.5% aqueous test chemical solution (buffered to pH 7) was not an ocular irritant.
This is supported by a study performed according to the method prescribed in the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 16, Sec. 1500.42) to assess the ocular irritation of the test chemical. The test chemical was prepared as a 2.5% (w/v) solution or suspension. (Suspension in 0.5% aqueous gum tragacanth, containing 0.05% Na2SO3). Eleven groups of three rabbits were used to test solutions, each of which was instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. The eyes of all the rabbits were irrigated with 50 ml of lukewarm (37°C) water, 10 sec after instillation of the test material.
Treatment with the test chemical gave rise to a yellow coloration of the cornea 1 hr after instillation, but the cornea was clear by the 24-hr reading, and there was no observable irritant response in any of the animals in this group.
According to the Code of Federal Regulations, Test for Eye Irritants, the test chemical was scored as ± .
Based on the scores and observations, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.
In another study conducted according the procedure based on that prescribed in the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 16, Sec. 1500.42), the irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in rabbits. The test chemical was prepared as a 2.5% (w/v) solution or suspension. (Suspension in 0.5% aqueous gum tragacanth, containing 0.05% Na2SO3). Eleven groups of three rabbits were used to test solutions, each of which was instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. The eyes of all the rabbits were irrigated with 50 ml of lukewarm (37°C) water, 10 sec after instillation of the test material.
None of the three animals treated with the test material showed any response to treatment, and although occasional transient mild conjunctival inflammation was observed. The reactions did not persist for more than 24 hr.
Thus, the substance was considered to be non irritating to eyes.
Considering the results of the in vivo studies, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP Regulation, the test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Available studies for the test chemical indicate that the test chemical lacks the potential to cause any irritation to eyes and skin. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes and skin. It can further be classified under the category "Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
