SCORING SYSTEM:
Primary skin irritation on rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series. Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Acute dermal irritation study was carried out to assess the irritation potential of 1-methyl piperazine.
Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for 1-methylpiperazine was Grade 6.
Based on this grade, 1-methyl piperazine can be considered moderately irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal irritation study was carried out to assess the irritation potential of 1-methylpiperazine.

Primary skin irritation on rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and was based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped abdominal skin of each of five albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 ml of undiluted sample or of solutions in water, propylene glycol, or acetone.

Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution

Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for 1 -methyl piperazine was Grade 6.

Based on this grade,1-methylpiperazine can be considered moderately irritating to rabbit skin.
