Additional information

Skin irritation:

The skin irritation for similar substance 1 was assesed.

Since no animals were observed an average of erythema and eschar or edema more than 2°, the tested substance is classified as not irritant for skin.

Therefore Acid Brown 348 is to be considered as non-irritant to the skin of rabbits for read across with similar substance 1.

Read Across is described in detail in section 13.

Eye irritation:

The eye irritation for similar substance 1 was assesed.

Given the lesions observed during the experiment the substance is classified as irritant based on CLP criteria, table 3.3.2.7.1.

Therefore Acid Brown 348 is to be considered as irritant to the eyes of rabbits for read across with similar substance 1.

Read Across is described in detail in section 13.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:

The study is performed in GLP and assesses the end point completely.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:

The study is performed in GLP and assesses the end point completely.

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation has to be considered is following EU test B4, a mean value of≥2,3 -≤4,0 for erythema/eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or Inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or (3) In some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above

Based on provided data no classification for skin irritation is warranted under Regulation 1272/2008

Substances are classified as eye irritant if that have the potential to induce reversible eye irritation according to the following criteria: if, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:

— at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:

— corneal opacity≥1 and/or

— iritis≥1, and/or

— conjunctival redness≥2 and/or

— conjunctival oedema (chemosis)≥2

— calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material, and which fully reverses within an observation period of 21 days

Based on provided data classification for eye irritation/corrosion Cat. 2, H 319 is warranted under Regulation 1272/2008
