- TEST MATERIAL
For the purpose of the study, the test item was ground to a powder before use.
The absorption of the test item was not determined.
At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water, was introduced. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 3 minutes (initial animal), 1 hour (initial animal) and 4 hours (all animals).
- Observation period:
- 72 hours plus an additional observation was made at one treated skin site on Day 7.
- Number of animals:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- MEASUREMENT OF PH:
The pH of the test item was determined prior to commencement of the study and found to be as follows:
10% w/w aqueous preparation of the test item: pH 4.5 (immediately and after 10 minutes).
PROCEDURE:
On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
One rabbit was initially treated. Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water, was introduced sequentially under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset for the duration of the exposure period.
One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. Any residual test item was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, an additional two animals were treated sequentially with 0.5 g of test item, moistened sufficiently with 0.5 ml of distilled water. One patch was applied to the back of each rabbit and was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a period of four hours.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale (see evaluation of skin reactions below).
Any other skin reactions and clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.
An additional observation was made at one treated skin site on Day 7 to assess the reversibility of skin reactions.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period. - Irritation parameter:

3-Minute Exposure Period:
The individual scores for erythema/eschar and oedema are given in Table 1.
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.
1-Hour Exposure Period:
The individual scores for erythema/eschar and oedema are given in Table 1.
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.
4-Hour Exposure Period:
The individual scores for erythema/eschar and oedema are given in Table 2.
Well-defined erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one treated skin site with very slight erythema and very slight oedema at one other treated skin site immediately and one hour after patch removal. Very slight erythema, with or without very slight oedema, was noted at these two treated skin sites at the 24-Hour observation. Very slight erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one of these treated skin sites at the 48-Hour observation with very slight erythema noted at the 72-Hour observation.
One treated skin site appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation and one other treated skin site appeared normal at the 7-Day observation.
No evidence of skin irritation was noted at one treated skin site during the study.
The individual mean scores for erythema and oedema required for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals were as follows:
Animal 1 (70541):
Mean score for erythema/eschar formation: 1.0
Mean score for oedema formation: 0.7
Animal 2 (70668):
Mean score for erythema/eschar formation: 0.0
Mean score for oedema formation: 0.0
Animal 3 (70669):
Mean score for erythema/eschar formation: 0.3
Mean score for oedema formation: 0.0 - Other effects:
- Bodyweight:
Individual bodyweights and bodyweight changes are given in Table 3.
All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item produced a maximum individual mean score of 1.0 and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:
- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
- Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008
- United States Environmental Protection Agency Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.2500 Acute Dermal Irritation August 1998
- Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF), Testing Guidelines for Toxicology Studies, 12 NohSan No. 8147, amended 10 December 2002
- Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, 1992
3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no evidence of skin irritation. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight to well-defined erythema and very slight oedema. No evidence of skin irritation was noted at one treated skin site.
The test item produced a maximum individual mean score of 1.0 and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
- Endpoint:
- skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:

PROCEDURE:
Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Only animals free of ocular damage were used.
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test item, which was found to weigh approximately 97 mg (as measured by gently compacting the required volume into an adapted syringe) was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test item, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made according to the six point scale shown in Appendix 1 (see attached background material).
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical Draize Scale for Scoring Ocular Irritation (see Appendix 2 - attached background material).
Any other ocular effects were also noted.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.
Other:
Any clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period. - Irritation parameter:

Additional information
No in vitro studies were submitted for skin irritation/corrosion or eye irritation. In accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 as amended: Annex VII, section 8.1 and 8.2, in vitro / ex vivo studies for skin corrosion/irritation and eye irritation do not need to be conducted based on existing data sufficient for classification and labelling being already available. According to ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment (Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance, R.7.2.2, October 2015) the study does not need to be conducted.
Skin Irritation/Corrosion:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:
- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
- Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008
- United States Environmental Protection Agency Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.2500 Acute Dermal Irritation August 1998
- Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF), Testing Guidelines for Toxicology Studies, 12 NohSan No. 8147, amended 10 December 2002
- Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, 1992
3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test item to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no evidence of skin irritation. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight to well-defined erythema and very slight oedema. No evidence of skin irritation was noted at one treated skin site.
The test item produced a maximum individual mean score of 1.0 and therefore did not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
Eye Irritation:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed tobe compatible with thefollowing:
- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 “Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
- Method B5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of CommissionRegulation (EC) No. 440/2008
- United States Environmental Protection Agency Health Effects Tesat Guidelines OPPTS 870.2400 Acute Eye Irritation August 1998
- Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF), Testing Guidelines for Toxicology Studies, 12 NohSan No. 8147, amended 10 December 2002
- Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, 1992
A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced moderate conjunctival irritation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72‑Hour observation.
The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) or the Globally Harmonised Classification System.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not meet the criteria for skin corrosion/irritation or eye irritation in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
