Following the test site preparation by clipping hair one day prior to application, 0.5 mL of undiluted test substance was applied to the dorsal skin surface under a gauze patch which was then covered by a semiocclusive dressing around the trunk. After 4 h of exposure period, the test substance was removed and the animals were observed during 72 h for skin reactions and additionally until Day 7 for unresolved skin reactions. Scoring was conducted according to the Draize method. Under the study conditions, no evidence of corrosion or necrosis was observed in the treated animals. All animals exhibited only slight to well defined erythema and slight edema, which recovered in three animals by 72 h and in the remaining three animals by Day 7. The primary irritation index was calculated as 1.8(Harrod, 1997).

Additional information
Skin
A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the test substance in New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD Guideline 404 and EPA Pesticide Assessment Guideline, Subdivision F (81-5) EPA Health Effects Testing Guideline (TSCA Guideline No 798.4470), in compliance with GLP. Following the test site preparation by clipping hair one day prior to application, 0.5 mL of undiluted test substance was applied to the dorsal skin surface under a gauze patch which was then covered by a semiocclusive dressing around the trunk. After 4 h of exposure period, the test substance was removed and the animals were observed during 72 h for skin reactions and additionally until Day 7 for unresolved skin reactions. Scoring was conducted according to the Draize method. Under the study conditions, no evidence of corrosion or necrosis was observed in the treated animals. All animals exhibited only slight to well defined erythema and slight edema, which recovered in three animals by 72 h and in the remaining three animals by Day 7. The primary irritation index was calculated as 1.8 (Harrod, 1997).
Eye
A study was conducted to determine the primary eye irritation potential of the test substance in New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405, in compliance with GLP. 0.1 mL of undiluted test substance was applied to the right eye of three male and three female rabbits. The left untreated eye served as control. Animals were examined for ocular reactions approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment. For animals exhibiting irritation at the 72 h reading, an additional ocular examination was conducted on Day 14 or until all apparent ocular effects subsided. Scoring was conducted according to the Draize method. No corneal opacity was produced. Iritis was cleared by 24 h and conjunctival irritation was cleared by Day 14. Blistering, hemorrhage and blanched appearance was observed in the conjunctiva and/or the nictitating membrane and all the signs were resolved by Day 14. No evidence of corrosion was observed. Under the study conditions swelling (chemosis) of the conjunctivae with a mean score equal to or above 2, persisting for more than 24 h was observed (Harrod, 1997).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin
The available in vivo skin irritation data suggests that the substance does not warrant classification for this endpoint according to CLP (EC 1272/2008) criteria.
Eye
Based on effects observed in an in vivo eye irritation study, the substance warrants classification as Eye Irrit. 2 - H319: Causes serious eye irritation according to CLP (EC 1272/2008) criteria.
