Irritant / corrosive response data:

Very slight erythema was evident for two rabbits at one and 24 hours. No other reactions were noted.

Other effects:

None

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Conclusions:

The substance was not irritating to the skin of rabbits.

Executive summary:

The skin irritation properties of the substance were tested under GLP to OECD TG 404 in an in vivo study with rabbits. The solid test material was applied to a gauze patch moisturized with distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80 which was placed on the shaved flank of three male albino New Zealand White rabbits. Flanks were shaved 24 hours before dosing. 0.5 g of cloquintocet-mexyl applied to the skin on a gauze patch, was covered with aluminium foil and fastened around the trunk by an adhesive tape to form an occlusive dressing. The patch was held in place for 4 hours. Skin reactions were evaluated according to the OECD scoring system after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Very slight erythema was reported at the one hour observation time in all three rabbits and at 24 hours in two rabbits. The erythema had fully reversed at 48 hours. No oedema or other dermal effects were observed. Cloquintocet-mexyl is non-irritating to the skin.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Signs of irritation were evident 1, 24 and 48 hours following instillation affecting the conjunctivae and cornea. No adverse effects noted for the iris.

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Conclusions:

Cloquintocet-mexyl is not irritating to the eyes.

Executive summary:

An in vivo study in rabbits was conducted under GLP to OECD TG 405 to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the substance. An aliquot of 0.1 mL (48 mg) of cloquintocet-mexyl was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. Ocular reactions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days following treatment. The results showed transient slightly irritating effects in the cornea and conjunctivae that had fully resolved within 72 hours. Cloquintocet-mexyl was evaluated to be not irritating to the eyes.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Skin irritation

Cloquintocet-mexyl has been tested under GLP in rabbits to OECD TG 404 (Schoch M, 1987). An aliquot of 0.5 g of the solid test material was applied to a gauze patch moisturised with distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80. The gauze was placed on the shaved flank of three male albino New Zealand White rabbits. There was evidence of slight erythema after 1 and 24 hours which had fully reversed after 48 hours. No oedema or other adverse effects were observed. There was no evidence of corrosion.

Eye irritation

The substance has been tested under GLP in rabbits to OECD TG 405 (Schoch M, 1987). An aliquot of 0.1 mL (48 mg) of cloquintocet-mexyl was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. Ocular reactions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days following treatment. The results showed transient slightly irritating effects in the cornea and conjunctivae that had fully resolved within 72 hours.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not meet the criteria for classification as skin or eye irritant
- under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.2.
