Additional information

Three reliable, GLP compliant, acute in vivo skin irritation studies are available, conducted to recognised test guidelines. There was no significant skin irritation response observed in any of the studies.

Three reliable, GLP compliant, acute in vivo eye irritation studies are available, conducted to recognised test guidelines.  In the key study (Toxicol Laboratories Ltd.,1988) conjuctival redness and corneal opacity were observed amonst three of three rabbits and in a second study (RCC Notox, 1991) conjuctival redness in three of three animals. These changes were transient (resolved within 72 hours) and were below the threshold criteria for classification for eye irritancy. The third study (Laboratoire de Biotoxicologie, Roquette Freres,1997), showed no eye irritancy.

 

 


Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The key study showed conjuctival redness and corneal opacity. Supporting studies showed lesser or no irritant responses.

Effect level: empty Endpoint conclusion: Adverse effect observed

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance is not classified for skin or eye irritation, according to EU CLP criteria (Regulation No.1271/2008).
