Additional information

Dermal Irritation:

In a study conducted similar or equivalent to OECD 404 (pre-dates GLP), bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine failed to induce any dermal irritation in rabbits over a 72 hour exposure period. 2 test sites on each of 6 rabbits were used as well as an additional control site. 1 test site was abraded, and 1 test site remained intact. Neither test site produced any irritation response. This deviation from the study guideline was considered not to affect the reliability of the study and it's result (Biosearch, 1979).

 

Eye Irritation:

In a study conducted similar or equivalent to OECD 405 (pre-dates GLP), bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine failed to induce any eye irritation in 6 rabbits (Biosearch, 1979).


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Key study, equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 404. Minor deviations were noted in the study report (2 test sites were used, 1 test site was abraded and 1 left intact). These deviations were considered not to affect the reliability of the study. Study pre-dates GLP.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Key study, equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 405. Study pre-dates GLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dermal irritation:

Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine failed to induce any dermal irritation in 6 rabbits over a 72 hour exposure period. In accordance with EC Regulation 1272/2008, bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine does not meet the requirements for classification as a dermal irritant or corrosive to skin.

 

Eye irritation:

Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine failed to induce any eye irritation in 6 rabbits. In accordance with EC Regulation 1272/2008, bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine does not meet the requirements for classification as an eye irritant or corrosive to the eye.
