Description of key information
The test material was subject to a skin irritation test in the rabbit as described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Shaved and both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance in a 50% polyethylene glycol 400 trituration for 24 hours under occlusive conditions. None of the animals showed any skin reactions immediately and 48 hours after the end of exposure. Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
The test material was tested for eye irritancy according to FDA guideline (Fed. Reg., Vol. 37, No. 38, 1972). 0.1 ml test substance was applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye each of eight rabbits (washing after 24 h in 5 animals, group 1, or after 5 minutes in 3 animals, group 2) and eye responses were observed for seven days. Only slight eye responses were noted, fully reversible within 72 h. The test item is not irritating to eyes according to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

- Conclusions:
- According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test material is not irritating to eyes under these test conditions. This conclusion is legitimate as five animals (group 1) were tested basically in accordance with today's standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system, reading time points and the observed eye responses were fully reversible 72 hours after application.
- Executive summary:
The test material was tested for eye irritancy according to FDA guideline (Fed. Reg., Vol. 37, No. 38, 1972). 0.1 ml test substance was applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye each of eight rabbits (washing after 24 h in 5 animals, group 1, or after 5 minutes in 3 animals, group 2) and eye responses were observed for seven days.
