Additional information

Skin irritation
Following the experimental design according to Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.41, 1973, 0.5 g of a 50 % solution of the test substance with water was applied to the intact or abraded skin of six Vienna White rabbits. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours and the remaining test substance was not washed off.
Due to substance-coloured skin, determination of the erythema score was not possible. The mean edema score for the intact skin was 0 (mean: 24 h, 72 h). Therefore the test substance did not cause any irritation on the intact skin of the test animals. All animals with abraded skin developed very slight edema at 24 h. After 72 hours three of six animals showed a very slight edema. The mean edema score for the abraded skin was 0.75 (mean: 24 h, 72 h). Observed edema effects were fully reversible within 8 days. Because of these findings regarding the intact skin, the test substance is not considered irritating to the skin.

Eye irritation
Following the experimental design according to Federal Register 38, No. 187 § 1500.42, 1973, 0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled in the conjunctival sac of six Vienna White rabbits. The eyes were not washed after 24 hours of exposure. Animals were observed for 8 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize et al..

The application to the intact eye resulted in marked redness in all animals after 24 hours. The effect was not fully reversible, after 8 days three of 6 animals showed a slightly redness (grade 1) of the conjunctivae. As the eyes were not washed out and the animals were only observed for 8 days instead of 21 days as recommended in the current OECD 405 guideline, it is reasonable to assume that effects would be fully reversible if the eyes would have been washed out and/or the observation period would have been extended to 21 days. Slight to marked chemosis was observed in all animals, but was fully reversible within 72 hours. After application, all animals showed a slight corneal opacity, which was completely resolved by the end of the study. The iris of two animals was affected by the test item after 24 hours, but this effect was fully reversible within 48 hours. Following cornea opacity scores were determined (24 h/48 h/ 72 h) (max 4.0):

animal 1: 1.0/1.0/1.0; animal 2: 1.0/1.0/1.0; animal 3: 1.0/1.0/1.0; animal 4: 1.0/1.0/1.0; animal 5: 1.0/1.0/1.0; animal 6: 1.0/1.0/1.0.

The iris scores were (24 h/48 h/ 72 h) (max 2.0):

animal 1: 0.0/0.0/0.0; animal 2: 0.0/0.0/0.0; animal 3: 1.0/0.0/0.0; animal 4: 1.0/0.0/0.0; animal 5: 0.0/0.0/0.0; animal 6: 0.0/0.0/0.0.

the mean conjunctivae scores were (24 h/48 h/ 72 h) (max 3.0):

animal 1: 2.0/2.0/2.0; animal 2: 2.0/2.0/2.0; animal 3: 2.0/2.0/2.0; animal 4: 2.0/2.0/2.0; animal 5: 2.0/3.0/2.0; animal 6: 2.0/2.0/2.0.

the chemosis scores were (24 h/48 h/ 72 h) (max 4.0):

animal 1: 2.0/1.0/0.0; animal 2: 2.0/2.0/0.0; animal 3: 2.0/2.0/2.0; animal 4: 2.0/1.0/0.0; animal 5: 2.0/1.0/0.0; animal 6: 2.0/1.0/0.0.

Thus, the substance is an eye irritant based on the results of this study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP). As a result the substance is considered to be classified as eye irritating cat. 2, H319 under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776. No classification for skin irritation is warranted.

Based on the read across considerations the target substance is classified as eye irritating cat. 2, H319
