Additional information

Skin:

1 -(vinyloxy)octadecane was tested for acute skin irritation/corrosion in rabbits in a study according to OECD Guideline 404. The substance was administered undiluted (0.5 mL) in single dose to the shaved skin of three Vienna white rabbits for 4 hours. Before application, the substance was heated to about 30 °C. At the end of the exposure period, the test article was removed with Lutrol and Lutrol/water 1:1. The untreated skin sites of the animals were used as control. Evaluation of skin irritation/corrosion effects was performed 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. The observation period was 15 days. Evaluation of the skin irritation/corrosion was performed according to criteria of EEC Directive 83/467/EEC of July 29th, 1983. The mean erythema score was 1.6 and the mean edema score was 0.1. All scores were fully reversible within 8 days (BASF, 1988).

Eye:

1 -(vinyloxy)octadecane was tested for acute eye irritation/corrosion in rabbits in a study according to OECD Guideline 405. The substance was administered undiluted (0.1 mL) in a single application to the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three Vienna white rabbits. The left eye served as control. No washing was done. Before application, the test item was heated to about 30 °C. Evaluation of eye irritation/corrosion effects was performed 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. The observation period was 72 hours. Evaluation of the eye irritation/corrosion was performed according to criteria of EEC Directive 83/467/EEC of July 29th, 1983. The mean scores were 0.0 for cornea, 0.0 for iris, 0.8 for conjunctiva redness and 0.0 for conjunctiva swelling. All scores were fully reversible within the 72 hour obsevation period (BASF, 1988).


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results obtained in skin and eye irritation studies with rabbits, 1 -(vinyloxy)octadecane has not to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP, GHS).
