Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method described in the publication of Smyth et al. (1962)
Application of undiluted sample
Primary skin irritation is recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and is based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped skin of each of the animals. Grade 1:no irritation; Grade 2: least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical; Grade 6: necrosis from the undiluted chemical; Grade 10 necrosis from 0.01% solution.
Restrictions/deviations compared to an OECD 404 guideline study:
no post-exposure observation time;
Irritation was recorded in an 10-grade scale which is not comparable to the Draize score;
no description of the test material
GLP compliance:
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance caused irritating reactions. However, the details given are not sufficient for an definitive assessment and raise some question on the suitability of the test system. Furthermore, an open application seems unsuitable regarding the fugacity of the TS
