The predicted skin irritation/corrosion potential of the test substance was modelled in the OECD QSAR Toolbox v3.3.5. The test substance falls within the model applicability domain for the BfR inclusion rules. No alerts were found. Therefore, the test substance is not expected to exhibit skin irritating or corrosive properties.
The predicted skin irritation/corrosion potential of the analogue substances was modelled in the OECD QSAR Toolbox v3.3.5. The analogue substances fall within the model applicability domain for the BfR inclusion rules. No alerts were found for the analogue substances with the exception of Isononanoic acid, C16-18 alkyl esters (CAS 111937-03-2) containing an alert for “Esters including acrylic and methacrylic esters”. However, experimental data on skin irritation/corrosion Isononanoic acid, C16-18 alkyl esters (CAS 111937-03-2) is available which is conclusive but not sufficient for classification according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (please refer to analogue justification provided in IUCLID section 13). Therefore, the analogue substances are not expected to reveal skin irritating or corrosive potential.

Additional information
Justification for read-across
There are no data available on skin and eye irritation of Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with heptanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII and VIII, 8.1. and 8.2., in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from structurally related substances was conducted. In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, "information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met.” In particular for human toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests, which includes the use of information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across) “to avoid the need to test every substance for every endpoint”. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13) and within Chapter 5.1 of the CSR.
Skin irritation
CAS 131459-39-7
In the skin irritation study performed equivalent or similar to OECD TG 404 and in compliance with GLP two male and one female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid mixed tetraesters with PE and valeric acid (CAS 131459-39-7) onto the shaved skin for 4 h via semi-occlusive coverage (Allen, 1999c). Skin reactions were evaluated according to the Draize scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days post-application. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal during the test period and no mortality occurred during the course of the study. Loss of skin elasticity was noted at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation time point and slight desquamation was noted at two treated skin sites at the 7-day observation time point. Very slight erythema formation (grade 1) was noted in 3/3 animals within 24 h post-application of the test material, but being fully reversible within 72 in 1/3 animals and 7 days in 2/3 animals, respectively. Moreover, slight edema formation (grade 1) was recorded in 3/3 animals within 24 h post-application of the test material, being fully reversible within 48 h in 1/3 animals and 7 days within 7 days, respectively. The mean values for erythema and edema were calculated to be 0.89 and 0.78, respectively. Based on the study results and according to EU classification criteria, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the skin.
CAS 67762-53-2
In a further skin irritation study performed equivalent or similar to OECD TG 404 three female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of Carboxylic acids, C5-9, tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS 67762-53-2) onto the clipped skin for 4 h via semi-occlusive coverage (Zolyniene, 1999b). Skin reactions were evaluated according to the Draize scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-application. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal during the test period and no mortality occurred during the course of the study. 3/3 animals showed a very slight or slight erythema formation (grade 1-2) 1 h after test item administration. These effects were fully reversible within 24 h in 2/3 animals and 48 h in 1/3 animal, respectively. No edema formation was observed in any animal during the study period. The mean values for erythema and edema were calculated to be 0.11 and 0, respectively. Based on the study results and according to EU classification criteria, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the skin.
Furthermore, no structural alerts indicative for skin irritating properties were identified in the OECD Toolbox v3.3.5 for the main components of the target and analogue substances with the exception of Isononanoic acid, C16-18 alkyl esters (CAS 111937-03-2). For this analogue substance, an alert for “Esters including acrylic and methacrylic esters” was identified. However, an in vivo skin irritation/corrosion test is available for Isononanoic acid, C16-18 alkyl esters (CAS 111937-03-2) which is conclusive but not sufficient for classification according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (please refer to analogue justification provided in IUCLID section 13).
Eye irritation
CAS 131459-39-7
In the eye irritation study with 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid mixed tetraesters with PE and valeric acid (CAS 131459-39-7) performed equivalent or similar to OECD TG 405 and in compliance with GLP (Allen, 1999d) 0.1 mL of the neat test substance was instilled in the eyes of two male and one female New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to the Draize scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-application. Neither corneal nor iridal effects were noted were observed in any animal during the study period. Moderate conjunctival irritation (grade 1-2) were observed in 3/3 animals but being fully reversible within 48 h in 2/3 animals and 72 h in 1/3 animal. Chemosis (grade 1-2) was also noted in 3/3 animals but was fully reversible within 24, 48 or 72 h, respectively. The mean values for cornea opacity, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis were calculated to be 0, 0, 0.44 and 0.33, respectively. Based on the study results and according to EU classification criteria, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to eyes.
CAS 67762-53-2
In a further eye irritation study with Carboxylic acids, C5-9, tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS 67762-53-2) performed equivalent or similar to OECD TG 405 (Zolyniene, 1999c) 0.1 mL of the neat test substance was instilled in the eyes of one male and two female New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to the Draize scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post-application. Neither corneal nor iridal effects and chemosis were noted were observed in any animal during the study period. Moderate conjunctival irritation (grade 1-2) were observed in 3/3 animals but being fully reversible within 24, 48 h or 72 h in all animals. The mean values for cornea opacity, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis were calculated to be 0, 0, 0.33 and 0, respectively. Based on the study results and according to EU classification criteria, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to eyes.
Overall conclusion for skin and eye irritation
The QSAR predictions performed with the analogue substances revealed one alert for the analogue substance Isononanoic acid, C16-18 alkyl esters (CAS 111937-03-2) following the BfR rules which was considered to be not of significant toxicological relevance. Therefore, following the analogue approach, Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with heptanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid is not considered to be irritating towards the skin or eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on skin and eye irritation/corrosion do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
