- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The numerical values given to the dermal reactions elicited by Aldehyde C10 are shown in Table 1.
Well-defined to moderate erythema with very slight or slight oedema developed in all three animals. In two animals these reactions were accompanied by desquamation of the stratum corneum from Day 7. Blanching, hardening of the skin and desquamation of the stratum corneum was seen in the third animal. The reactions gradually ameliorated and had resolved completely by day 11. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was assessed for skin irritation according to OECD EU Method B.4. Under the conditions of the test, the test substance was not shown as irritating and therefore is not considered to be classified as irritating to skin according to CLP Regulation No (EC) 1272/2008.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
The key study was performed according to GLP and EC Method B.4. Three rabbits were each administered a single dermal dose of 0.5 ml of the test substance and observed for 11 days. A single semi-occlusive application of Aldehyde C10 to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited well defined to moderate dermal reactions. All reactions had resolved by day 11.
Eye irritation:
The key study was performed according to GLP and EC Method B.5. Three rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of 0.1 mL of the test substance and observed for 14 days after instillation. A single instillation of Aldehyde C10 into the eye of the rabbit elicited dulling of the cornea and well defined conjunctival irritation. All reactions had resolved 7 or 14 days after instillation.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion
