Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The registration substance induced reversible irritating effects in rabbits. According to EU criteria, the registration substance should be classified as "irritating".
Executive summary:

The registration substance was investigated for its skin irritation property according to Guideline OECD 404. Three rabbits were administered semiocclusively by the undiluted registration substance for 4 hours and the skin irritation effects were observed for up to 21 days. Erythema of scores of up to 3 and oedema of scores of up to 2 was observed within the first three days of the observation period. Two animals exhibited on observation day 14 erythema of scores of 1, which were no more present on observation day 21.

The registration substance should be classified as "irritating" according to the EU criteria.

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The registration substance induced transient conjunctivae redness and chemosis in rabbits. According to EU criteria, no classification is warranted for the registration substance.
Executive summary:

The registration substance was investigated for its eye irritation property according to Guideline OECD 405. Three rabbits were used. The undiluted registration substance was applied into eye. Conjuctivae redness of scores up to 2 and chemosis of scores of 1 were observed within the first three days of the observation period. The observed effects were fully reversible within 7 days of observation period.

No classificaiton is warranted for the registration substance according to the EU criteria.

Additional information

The registration substance was investigated for its skin irritation property according to Guideline OECD 404. Three rabbits were administered semiocclusively by the undiluted registration substance for 4 hours and the skin irritation effects were observed for up to 21 days. Erythema of scores of up to 3 and oedema of scores of up to 2 was observed within the first three days of the observation period. Two animals exhibited on observation day 14 erythema of scores of 1, which were no more present on observation day 21.

The registration substance should be classified as "irritating" according to the OECD GHS criteria.

The registration substance was investigated for its eye irritation property according to Guideline OECD 405. Three rabbits were used. The undiluted registration substance was applied into eye. Conjuctivae redness of scores up to 2 and chemosis of scores of 1 were observed within the first three days of the observation period. The observed effects were fully reversible within 7 days of observation period.

No classificaiton is warranted for the registration substance according to the OECD GHS criteria.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Scientifically well performed and well documented Guideline study performed under GLP.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Scientifically well performed and well documented Guideline study performed under GLP.

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

For the skin irritation/corrosion property the registration substance should be classified as Cat 2, H315.

For the eye irritation, no classification is warranted.
