Description of key information

The test substance TBBS showed a practically non-irritating potential to rabbit skin (Monsanto Co. 1982). The even very low skin irritation potential is confirmed by two additional skin irritation studies (Monsanto Co. 1973, 1982b). A rather slight and transient eye irritation potential is noted in an eye irritation study (Monsanto Co. 1973).

The test substance was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye (mean irritation score 24, 48, and 72 hours: 2.5/110.0). Effects on the conjunctivae were noted in all animals at 24 hours (mean score 24 h: 7.6/110) but were reversible within 48 hours. The test substance was classified as not eye irritating according to F.H.S.A.

Additional information

Skin

The skin irritation potential of the test substance TBBS was evaluated in a skin irritation study with six New Zealand albino male and female rabbits (Monsanto Co. 1982). The test substance (500 mg) moistened with saline was applied under occlusive dressings to clipped intact and abraded skin of 6 New Zealand albino rabbits for 24 hours. The test substance TBBS was practically non-irritating to rabbit skin (mean erythema and edema score intact skin: 0).

This finding is confirmed by two other skin irritation studies, which also indicated a very low skin irritation potential of the test substance (Monsanto Co. 1973, 1982b).

Eye

The eye irritating potential of the test substance TBBS was evaluated in an eye irritation study with New Zealand albino male and female rabbits (Monsanto Co 1973). 100 mg of the finely ground test substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of six male and female rabbits. A 7-day observation period followed the application of the test substance. Eye response were scored in accordance with the Federal Hazardous substances Act (F.H.S.A.), 21 CFR, § 191.12 (1964).

The test substance was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye (irritation score 24, 48, and 72 hours: 2.5/110.0). Effects on the conjunctivae were noted in all animals at 24 hours (mean score 24 h: 7.6/110) but were reversible within 48 hours. The test substance was classified as not eye irritating according to F.H.S.A.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
GLP and comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions (e.g. no observation time point at 48 h post-treatment).

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Limited but acceptable documented study report which meets basic scientific principles.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.
