Description of key information
Skin irritation:
As there was variability in the results and apparent interferences of the vehicles selected in the available studies, the conclusions from the review authored by Schweinfurth H (1986) encorporated all of the available studies for assessment.
The reactions produced by the formulations containing tributyltin compounds and the vehicle (Kristallol 60 + Alkydal F 67) on human skin were not significantly different from one another in the Friedman-test for exposure periods until 4 hours. The observed local irritation was predominantly attributed to the vehicle. Additional changes due to the tributyltin compounds did not occur in the volunteers.
The animal species showed a considerable variation with regard to duration, intensity as well as the type of local changes. While the rabbit does not seem to be suitable for a reliable prediction of the human skin reaction after contact with the formulations under investigation, the rat appears to be the animal species which mimics most closely the human reaction.
Eye irritation:
Tributyltin oxide was reported as highly irritating to the eyes.

- On either side of the spine of 12 male hairless mice, a skin area of 1 cm x 2 cm was marked with a coloured marker. These 24 application sites were distributed to the four formulations tested. 6 skin areas were applied with 0.16 g ZK 113.599/0.16 mL aqua bidest. (formulation C), wherease another 6 skin areas were applied with 0.08 mL aqua bidest. (formulation D) for the same time. The remaining 12 application sites were treated with 2 other formulations (A and B). Each application site was covered with a piece of gauze. The gauze was fixed on the skin using a Leukoflex bandage around the trunk. After exposure, the gauze and Leukoflex were removed and the test sites wiped with luke warm water and cotton wool. Test sites were observed 30-60 minutes after exposure and thereafter every 24 hours until day 15 of the test. Evaluation of the local tolerance on the skin of the hairless mouse after a single application was performed according to the score system of Draize J.H. in "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics". On day 15, the animals were sacrificed by CO2 inhalation. Necropsy was not performed.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Transient slight reddening (2 animals) and swelling (4 animals), sporadically moderate swelling (1 animal), desquamation (2 animals), skin lesions (one animal) scab formation (3 animals) and scar formation (2 animals) were observed after ZK 113.599.
Pale area of administration was observed in 4 animals each after ZK 113.599 as well as after the control, but after ZK 113.599 this finding was more frequent.
Two animals showed no local finding from day 1 to day 15 of the test after treatment with ZK 113.599. The other 4 animals treated with ZK 113.599 were without local findings beginning on day 6-14 of the test except two animals (nos. 5M, 11M) showing scar formation. - Other effects:
- Animal no. 10M showed on day 4-5 apathy and emaciation and was found dead on day 6 of the test. Necropsy revealed: probably gastric bleeding. This finding was not considered to be substance-related, but was presumably due to stress by restrained measurements.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Classified for skin irritation (category 2) according to EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- The irritation index according to Draize was 1.92, indicating slight local incompatibility reactions. Overall the test material was classified as slight to moderate local irritation.
- Executive summary:
The local dermal tolerance of a formulation containing 50% w/v tri-n-butyltinoxide (ZK 113.599) in comparison to the vehicle was tested on the intact skin of 6 male hairless mice each after a single application. On 6 skin areas of 1 cm x 2 cm were treated with a paste containing 0.16 g/0.16 ml aqua bidest for 4 h. Another 6 skin areas were treated with 0.08 ml aqua bidest for the same time under semi-occlusive conditions. The local reactions were recorded within 30 - 60 minutes after exposure and thereafter once daily until day 15 of the test. Transient slight to moderate swelling, slight reddening, desquamation, skin lesions, scab and scar formation were observed after exposure. Pale area of administration was observed after exposure more frequent as in controls.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
The studies provided for the data-requirement for skin irritation/corrosion were provided for information purposes only. Schobel-Wegner C (1985) was assigned a reliability score of 2, the study used a non-standard species than specified in the international harmonised guidelines without justification for the species selection. The further three studies were all assigned reliability scores of 4 as the reliability of the data was not assignable from the level of reporting. The conclusions from the review Schweinfurth (1986) encompassed all of the study data.
Eye irritation:
Schweinfurth H (1986) was provided for information purposes. The data was sourced from a review of previous studies and literature as was assigned a reliability score of 4 (not assignable) as the quality of data could not be determined from the limited reporting.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is included in the group of substances "tributyltin compounds" which is itself included in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 with Index Number 050-008-00-3. The
substance is classified as H315 and H319 (causes skin irritation and causes serious eye irritation).
