Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Before OECD Guideline 404 was established in 1982, skin irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. 2 animals were treated for 1, 5 and 15 minutes and 2 other animals for 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5x2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. In addition, skin tissue from the ear was tested by wrapping the ear. These results from the ear, however, would not be taken into account for evaluation as they do not represent testing of the dorsal / lateral flank of the back. After the application time, the skin was washed with water which contained a mild detergent. The animals were observed 7 to 8 days and skin changes were recorded on working days. The report usually describes findings after 24 hours and at the end of the observation period. Thus, for final evaluation, the findings after 48 and 72 hours from the raw data have to be taken into account.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Well defined erythema (Draize grade 2) and edema (grade 2) as well as skin petechiae were seen at 24 hours after exposure periods of 5 and 15 minutes, and 20 hours. Slight erythema (grade 1) and edema (grade 1) were seen at 24 hours after an exposure period of 1 minute. 8 days after exposure slight erythema (grade 1) and scaling was noted in animals of all exposure groups.
The test substance led to clearly visible skin irritation in both animals when treated for 1, 5, 15 min and 20 hours. To evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test substance, the scores of the 20 hour incubation have been used, but the scores for the 1 -15 min incubation have been also taken into account. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria

* The value was not given in the raw data, but at the 48-hours reading an edema was scored with 2 and at the 96-hour reading the same animal was also scored with an edema of 2, therefore it seems likely that the experimenters forgot to note the edema scoring at the 72-hours reading.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
The test item was applied undiluted to the skin of rabbits under occlusive conditions for one minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 20 hours (BASF, 1962). After 24 hours, well-defined erythema and edema as well as skin petechiae were observed in all exposure groups. Mean erythema scores (24-48-72 hours) for the 15-min and 20-hour exposure were 2.83 and 2.66, respectively. Mean edema scores (24-48-72 hours) for the 15-min and 20-hour exposure were 1.0 and 2.0, respectively. The effects were not fully reversible within 7-9 days. Seven and nine days after the applications, desquamation was observed for the 1-, 5- and 15 -minute and 20-hour applications. The test item was assessed to be irritating to the skin.
Eye irritation:
In an eye irritation study in White Vienna rabbits (BASF, 1962) conducted according to an internal study protocol, 50 µL of the undiluted substance were instilled into the eye of 2 rabbits. The adjacent eyes of the same animals were treated with NaCl and served as control. The eyes were not washed out as recommended by the OECD TG 405. Eye reactions were read after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Slight conjunctivitis (Draize grade 1), slight chemosis (grade 1) and slight corneal opacity (grade 1) were noted after 24 hours. The effects were completely reversible within 48 hours. Based on the mean scores observed for corneal opacity and conjunctival redness the test substance is judged as not irritant to the eyes of rabbits.
Respiratory irriation:
In acute inhalation toxicity studies vapour concentration of more than 1000 ppm (corresponding to approx. 5.2 mg/L) were irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract (UCC, 1968, 1971)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available data on skin and eye irritation are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the available data, the substance is considered to be classified for skin irritation, Cat. 2, H315 and for specific target organ toxicity, single exposure (STOT SE), Cat. 3, H335 under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2020/1182. The substance is not considered to be classified for eye irritation under the same Regulation.
