Endpoint summary

Description of key information
In the absence of data on the target substance, data was presented on two analogue substances, 2-methylundecanal and Undec-10-enal. The analogue substance 2-methylundecanal was assessed for skin irritation with rabbits dermally exposed to the test material for 24 hr. The results of the study showed that the test material should be classified as a Category 2 skin irritant. This was supported by data from an assessment using Unde-10-enal.
In the absence of data on the target substance, data was presented on the analogue substance, Undec-10-enal, which was assessed for eye irritation in rabbits. The test substance was used to assess eye irritation using albino rabbits. Under the conditions of the test the test substance was found to be irritating to eyes.

- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:

- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- No data
- Reliability:

- Remarks:
- A valid study is available for the analogue substance, 2-methylundecanal. The study meets generally accepted scientific standards with acceptable restrictions for the standard test. The read-across is considered to be suitable based on the structural and “mechanistic action” similarities between the target substance (Dodecanal) and source substance (2-methylundecanal) and their similar physico-chemical properties.
- Qualifier:

- Conclusions:
- The test substance was assessed for skin irritation using rabbits. In accordance with the classification criteria set out in CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008 the results obtained determine that the test material 2-methylundecanal should be classified as a Category 2 skin irritant.
A valid study is available for the analogue substance, 2-methylundecanal. The study meets generally accepted scientific standards with acceptable restrictions for the standard test. The read-across is considered to be suitable based on the structural and “mechanistic action” similarities between the target substance (Dodecanal) and source substance (2-methylundecanal) and their similar physico-chemical properties.

Additional information
In the absence of data on the target substance, data was presented on two analogue substances, 2-methylundecanal and Undec-10-enal.
2-methylundecanal was assessed for skin irritation with rabbits dermally exposed to the test material for 24 hr. The study was performed in two parts. Initially 4 rabbits were exposed to the unchanged test substance and observed over a 10-day period; in the second part, 3 rabbits were exposed to the unchanged test substance and were observed for 14 days. Erythema and oedema were observed in most of the animals tested in both groups with a number showing reactions that were not reversible within the observation period. It was concluded that the test material should therefore be classified as a Category 2 skin irritant. A supporting study using guinea pigs was also performed and showed that under the conditions of the test, the test was found to be mildly irritating to guinea pigs at 5 % concentration. A further study on Undec-10-enal, which assessed skin irritation in rabbits showed the primary dermal irritation index was 1.2 at 24 and 72 hours. In this study, the test substance was considered mildly irritating, as there was some evidence of erythema, but no oedema.
The analogue substance Unde-10-enal was assessed for eye irritation in rabbits. Under the conditions of the test the test substance was found to be irritating to eyes.Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Most reliable available study.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only available study.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Effects on eye irritation: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the results of the key study, performed on an analogue substance, the substance should be classified as a skin irritant category 2 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
According to the results of the key study, performed on an analogue substance, the substance should be classified as an eye irritant in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
