Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance produced erythema (score of 1) in 4 rabbits by 1 hour after patch removal. By 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, no erythema was observed in the treated rabbits. No dermal edema or corrosion was observed during this study.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is classified as Non-Irritant
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 6 female New Zealand White rabbits according to the guidelines OECD 404 and US EPA 81-5.


The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 6 New Zealand White rabbits. Approximately 0.5 g was administered to a localized test site on the back of each animal. The test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing to ensure contact between the skin and test substance. The animals were exposed to the test substance for approximately 4 hours.


The test sites were evaluated and scored according to a numerical scale, approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the end of the 4-hour exposure period.


The test substance produced erythema (score of 1) in 4 rabbits by 1 hour after patch removal. By 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, no erythema was observed in the treated rabbits. No dermal edema or corrosion was observed during this study. The mean erythema and edema score of all the animals is 0.0 and 0.0 respectively.


On the basis of the overall averages, and according to the guide to the labeling of dangerous substances published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (EEC Directive 93/21), the test substance can be classified as "NON-IRRITANT” and labeled:


Symbol – None


Risk Phrase - No Risk Sentence


For each of 6 rabbits, the values for both erythema and edema derived at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours were summed and divided by 4 to obtain a primary dermal irritation score. A Primary Irritation Index (РII) or average of these 6 individual scores was also calculated.


The PII was 0.3, 0, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 and 0 for the individual rabbits respectively.


According to the guidance provided by the U.S, EPA on data reporting and for toxicity classification and label statements for skin hazards of pesticides the test substance is considered to be a mild or slight irritant (РII less than 2) and is classified in Toxicity Category IV.

Additional information

In two acute dermal irritation studies in rabbits conducted according to OECD guideline 404, OPP 81.5, EU Method B.4 and JMAFF 59-NohSan-4200, no dermal irritation was noted.  


An eye irritation study in rabbit was conducted according to OECD 405, OPP 81-4, EU Method B.5, and JMAFF 59-NohSan-4200. The test substance produced conjunctival redness (score of 1 or 2) and chemosis (score of 1) in all treated rabbit eyes. Iritis (score of 1) was observed in 1 rabbit and discharge (score of 2) was observed in 1 rabbit only at the 1-hour evaluation. All ocular irritation resolved by 72 hours after treatment. The over all mean irritation scores of all the animals (at 24, 48 and 72 h post application) were 0.2, 0.4, 0.0, and 0.0 for conjunctival chemosis, conjunctival redness, iritis and corneal opacity, respectively. On the basis of the overall averages of the mean values, and according to the guide to the labeling of dangerous substances published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (EEC Directive 93/21), the test substance can be classified as "Non-irritant"

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance produced no skin irritation and, therefore, does not need to be classified for skin irritation according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.


In the eye irritation study, conjunctival redness and chemosis was observed in all treated rabbit eyes. Iritis was observed in 1 rabbit and discharge was observed in 1 rabbit only at the 1-hour evaluation. All ocular irritation resolved by 72 hours after treatment. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified for eye irritation according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
