The primary irritation index for this group of animals is 0.0 on a scale of 0.0 to 8.0. Slight irritation to one abraded site of one male animal was observed on the first day after exposure, while skins of the remaining five animals appeared normal throughout the study. One male rabbit showed slight irritation to one of the abraded sites on one day but the remaining five animals appeared normal throughout the study.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Cyanuric acid is not irritating
Endpoint:
skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Skin irritation

In an in vivo skin irritation study (Branch 1990) 500 mg cyanuric acid was applied to the abraded skin of 6 New Zealand White rabbits under an occlusive patch for 24 hours. Animals were observed after removal of the patch up to 72 h. The average of the erythema and edema assessments for the 6 animals after 72 h was 0.0. Cyanuric acid was found to be non-irritating to the skin in rabbits.

 

Eye irritation

In an in vivo eye irritation study (Branch 1981) 82 mg (the 0.1 ml equivalent) of crude cyanuric acid was instilled into the conjunctival sac of albino rabbits. All signs of irritation had subsided by the third day.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In the in vivo skin and eye irritation studies cyanuric acid was non-irritant and therefore requires no classification under DSD or CLP
