Key

This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test. The test item was tested in a purity of 99.9 %. Each three tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with the test item, the negative or the positive control for 60 minutes. After treatment with the test item the mean relative absorbance value was reduced irrelevantly to 78.2% compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative control. This value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.

Conclusion: The in-vitro key study was performed according to OECD guideline 439. No skin irritation effects were observed in this study. In conclusion it can be stated that the test substance is not skin irritating.

Eye Irritation

The local effect of the test item was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline No. 405. Four female albino rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of the test article, applicated undiluted in one eye. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. The following mean values, based on the results from the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings, were calculated:

Cornea: 0 (all animals)

Iris: 0 (all animals)

Conjunctiva: 0.33, 0, 0.67, 0.33

Chemosis: 0.33, 0, 0, 0

All results were fully reversible. In conclusion the test item causes no eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for skin irritation and eye irritation under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
