- Executive summary:
Although only 0.05 mL of the test substance was applied instead of the 0.1 mL recommened in todays OECD 405 guideline, the test substance can be considered as not irritating to the eye due to the very mild reversible eye reactions noted under the conditions of this study according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC. (BASF, 1967)

Additional information
Skin:
In the key dermal irritation study (BASF, 1967; XVII 83) two Vienna White rabbits were dermally exposed to the undiluted test substance. The test site (intact dorsal skin) was covered with an occlusive dressing for 20 h with readings at 1, 5, 15 minutes and 20 hours. Rabbits were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded on working days. Irritations regarding erythema, edema and necrosis were scored according to a BASF grading system and converted into the numerical grading system according to OECD test guideline 404.
At 24 h after patch removal, grade 1 erythema was observed in both animals. At 48 h, grade 1 erythema was observed in the first animal but no erythema in the second animal. No edema was observed in both animals at any time. The mean value of the scores for either erythema or edema formation at the 24 and 48 h reading calculated over the two animals tested was 0.75 and 0.0, respectively. All findings were fully reversible within 5 days.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item was no irritant to rabbit skin.
Eye:
In the key primary eye irritation study (BASF, 1967; XVII 83), 50 µL of the undiluted test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of two White Vienna rabbits. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours. Animals were observed for 7-8 days and findings were recorded at 10 min, 1, 3, 24 and 48 h and at the end of the observation period. At the 24 h reading, one animal had a conjunctivae score grade 1, the other animal was without findings. At the 48 h reading, both animals were without findings. No injury to cornea was observed at any time. The mean value of the scores at the 24- and 48-hour reading for erythema was 0.5 and 0.0, respectively. The observed changes were fully reversible in both animals within 48 h.
Although only 0.05 mL of the test substance was applied instead of the 0.1 mL recommened in todays OECD 405 guideline, the test substance can be considered as not irritating to the eye due to the very mild reversible eye reactions noted under the conditions of this study.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion
endpoint:
The key study was selected.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The key study was selected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the skin and eye irritation key toxicity studies, the test item is not subjected to classification according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
