Irritant / corrosive response data:
No deviations from the normal findings have been observed during the whole experiment on any animal on the shave skin localizations.
Other effects:
No test-substance related findings were observed during the weighting of the animals after 7 days.
Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Conclusions:
As no skin reaction was induced over a period of 7 days, the test item is considered as not skin irritating. Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
Executive summary:

As no skin reaction was induced over a period of 7 days in a GLP study acc. to OECD guideline no. 404, test item is considered as not skin irritating.

Details on study design:
Before and after the test, the eyes of all animals were examined under UV. After weighing (16 hours starved) 0.1 g of the substance was applicated into the conjunctival pouch of the left eye. The right one stayed untreated and served as control.
The eye lesions were scored according to the system of Draize.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the test substance was not removed


SCORING SYSTEM:
1. Cornea
a) Degree of opacity (A):
- No opacity (nor loss of brilliancy or lustre): 0
- Presence of an irritated area of diffused or disseminated appearance, details of the iris clearly visible: 1
- Presence of a translucid, irritated area easily identifiable, details of the iris slightly obscured: 2
- Presence of an opalescent, irritated area, details of the iris visible, outline of the pupil can scarcely be observed: 3
- Presence of opacity making the iris invisible: 4

b) Area of opacity (B):
- 1/4 (or less), but not zero: 1
- Between 1/4 and 1/2: 2
- Between 1/2 and 3/4: 3
- From 3/4 to the whole area: 4

The total mark is determined by multiplying the two scores by 5: A X B x 5 (maximum = 80)

2. Iris (C)
- Normal: 0
- Clearly more plicate than normal, congestion, swelling circumcorneal injection (one or several of these characteristics), iris still reacting to light (a slow reaction is a positive reaction): 1
- No reaction to light, heamorrhage, significant "destruction" (one, several or all of these characteristics): 2

The total mark is determined by multyplying the score by 5: C x 5 (maximum = 10)

3. Conjunctiva, Chemosis and Lacrimation
a) Conjuctiva (D):
- Reddening of the palpebral conjunctiva: vessels normal: 0
- Vessels clearly more injected than normal: 1
- Bright red colour, more diffuse, vessels difficult to distinguish: 2
- Diffuse blood red colour: 4

b) Chemosis (E):
- No swelling: 0
- Slight swelling, including the nictating membrane: 1
- Pronounced swelling, with inversion of the eyelid: 2
- Swelling with eyelids half closed: 3
- Swelling with eyelid closed more than half-way or completely closed: 4

c) Lacrimation (F):
- Absence: 0
- Slight lacrimation (do not take into account slight secretions normally in the inside corner): 1
- Lacrimation with moistening of the eyelids and hairs around the eyelids: 2
- Lacrimation with moistening of the eyelids and heirs on wide areas around the eye: 3

The total mark is determined by adding the three scores and multiplication of the sum by 2: (D + E + F) x 2 (maximum = 20)

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Since no classification criteria according to GHS/CLP (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008) are fulfilled, the substance is not classified for skin and/or eye irritation/corrosion.
