Additional information
Skin Irritation
Primary skin irritation tests were conducted in New Zealand White albino rabbits with the test material.
After exposure of the shaved skin to the undiluted test material for 4 hours under occlusive conditions, severe corrosive effects were observed at the first observation time point at 0.5 h after the treatment gauze was removed. All 6 animals had severe erythema accompanied by necrosis. One animal had eschar formation at the treatment site. The extent of oedema in the animals varied between no oedema (1 animal), very slight oedema (3 animals), and slight oedema (2 animals). All animals were sacrificed after the first observation due to humane reasons.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material had a severe corrosive effect on rabbit skin exposed for 4 hours in an occlusive manner.
Eye Irritation
The potential of the test material to cause irritation to the eye was investigated.
A single dose of the test material was administered into the eye of a rabbit, followed by a one day observation period.
The test material was corrosive to the eye. All six animals exhibited severe conjunctival and corneal tissue destruction. Due to the severe ocular response, all animals were sacrificed after the 1-hour observation for humane reasons.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was corrosive to eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation :
According to Regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP), the test material is classified in the Category 1 "Causes severe skin burns and eye damage" (H314).
Justification : All animals have a erythema score equal to 4 out of 4 at 30 minutes after administration.
Eye irritation:
The test material is classified as Category 1 "Causes serious eye damage" (H318) according to Regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP).
Justification: All animals tested demonstrated severe effects such as tissue distruction or ulceration upon administration and the test were terminated on humane grounds.
Respiratory irritation:
Based on the results of the repeated study (inhalation route), the test material is classified as irritant to the tract respiratory, STOT SE 3 (H335:May cause respiratory irritation) according to Regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP). In addition, the supplemental hazard information EUH071 "Corrosive to the respiratory tract" according to Annex II of Regulation EC no. 1272/2008 (CLP) is considered appropriate for inclusion on the label.
