Skin


A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the test substance, TMAC T (50% active) in rabbits, according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 204. Six rabbits (both sexes) were treated with 0.5 mL of undiluted test substance (50% active ingredient) in an occlusive patch fixed with adhesive tape and wrapped with an impervious material, for 4 h. Observations were made at 4 h, 48 h and 10 days post-exposure. If the test substance appeared to be corrosive after 4 h, another study was conducted with a 1 h exposure period under similar test conditions. The Draize scoring criteria was used for evaluating the corrosion potential. At 4 h, very slight to well-defined erythema, very slight ischemia and very slight oedema were observed, with an average irritation score of 4/8. At 48 h, there was well-defined to moderate erythema, very slight to slight ischemia and very slight or slight oedema and the average irritation score was 5.4/8. After 10 days, slight to distinct incrustation and decreased hair growth was observed. After an exposure period of 1 h, very slight erythema was observed with an average irritation score of 0.85/8. After 48 h, there was very slight to moderate erythema and very slight or slight oedema and the average irritation score was 1.25/8. No skin effects were observed after 10 days. Under the study conditions, the undiluted test substance (50% active ingredient) was corrosive after 4 h of occlusive exposure.


Eye


In accordance with Annex VII, Section 8.2, Column 2, eye irritation studydoes not need to be conducted because the substance is classified as corrosive to the skin.


 


 


 


 

Based on the results of the in vivo skin irritation study, the test substance warrants a corrosive, 'Skin Corr. 1C; H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage' as well as serious eye damage, 'Eye dam. 1; H31: Causes serious eye damage' classification according to the EU CLP criteria (Regulation EC 1272/2008). Labelling for this endpoint is covered by the above classifications for skin effects.


 


With regard to respiratory tract irritation, although TMAC T is a very corrosive substance, its low vapour pressure prohibits the occurrence of respiratory irritation by vapour. Further, the classification of corrosive is already considered to implicitly cover the potential of RTI; therefore an additional Cat.3 is considered to be superfluous (Guidance CLP Ch. 3.8.2.5).
