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, 15 minutes using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance on a patch. After the application time of 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively, the skin was first washed with undiluted Lutrol 9, then with an aqueous Lutrol solution (50 %). The animals were observed for 8 days and skin reactions were recorded 24, 48 hours, 5 and 8 days after treatment. - GLP compliance:

Before OECD Guideline 405 was established, eye irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. 50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye each in 2 animals. The saline-treated adjacent eye served as control. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 h on the day of treatment and daily up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. The report describes findings after 1 and 24 hours and at the end of the observation period. For final evaluation, the findings after 48 and 72 hours from the raw data were taken into account. - GLP compliance:

Additional information
There are valid in vivo data available for the assessment of the skin and eye irritating potential of the test item.
Skin irritation
In the key study, a non-GLP dermal irritation study according to an internal protocol (BASF XX/36, 1970), two female Vienna White rabbits of 4.1 and 2.72 kg, respectively, were dermally exposed to the undiluted test item (analytical purity: no data) to an area of 6.25 cm² on the upper third of the back. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. Readings were performed 24, and 48 hours as well as 8 days after removal of the test substance and washing of the skin. Animals were observed for 8 days.
In animals treated for 1 min an erythema score of 3, an edema score of 2 was observed 24 and 48 hours after treatment and parchment-like necrosis was detectable at the end of the observation period. Bleedings observed on day of application are not further specified.
After treatment for 5 and 15 min, hard necrosis was observed after 24 and 48 hours.
The skin irritation study is acceptable (reliability 2), but does not satisfy the guideline requirements for a skin irritation study (OECD 404) in rabbits (limited documentation, only 2 animals, occlusive conditions, 72-hrs reading missing, observation period only 8 days).
In the key study, the test item is corrosive to the skin based on hard, leathery necrosis after 5 min exposure duration observed after 24 hours in both animals. After 1 min exposure duration, bleedings were observed on the day of application (no time point given), but only a parchment-like necrosis was still detectable at the end of the observation period of 8 days. No histopathological confirmation was performed. Therefore, the test item was not classified for skin irritation Cat 1 A, H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage).
Eye irritation
In a non-GLP eye irritation study performed similar to OECD guideline 405, 50 µL of the undiluted substance (analytical purity: no data) was instilled into one eye each of two New Zealand White rabbits (BASF, XX/36, 1970). The adjacent eyes were treated with saline and served as control. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. Readings were performed 10 min, 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 8 days after treatment. The test substance induced mean scores of 2 and 1.3 for conjunctivae redness, 0.7 and 0 for iris, 3 and 0 for cornea opacity, as well as 2.0 for chemosis during the relevant reading period (24, 48 and 72 hours). There was no reversibility up to the end of the observation period of 8 days.
The eye irritation study is acceptable (reliability 2), but does not fully satisfy the guideline requirements for an eye irritation study (OECD 405) in rabbits (only 50 µL instilled, only 2 animals used, observation period only 8 days).
In the key study, the test item causes severe damage to eyes.
Respiratory irritation
There exists no standard test method for the assessment of respiratory irritation. In the inhalation hazard test the test item caused strong mucosal irritation to the mucous membranes of rats as observed after exposure to an atmosphere that had been saturated at 20 degrees centigrade with the volatile parts of the compound (BASF XX/36, 1970; Val. 2).
Conclusion: The undiluted test item was corrosive to the skin of rabbits, causes severe damage to the eye in rabbits and was supposed to induce respiratory irritation.
