- Conclusions:
- The test item caused slight irritation under the conditions of this test.
- Executive summary:
Based on an exposure of 4 hours of an undiluted solution of the test item, a PDII of 2.8 has been determined. It is calculated from the sum of the scoring for erytheme and oedeme observations (12 according to the grading of skin reactions of the OECD guideline) divided by a factor of 12 (number of animals and number of time points 3x4).
The test item caused well defined erythema and slight oedema in all rabbits within 24 hours after removal of the patch. The effect persisted until 72 hours (mean erythema scores for the individual animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours: 2.3, 2.0, 2.3;
mean edema scores for the individual animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours: 1.0, 1.0, 1.3 ) and subsided within 7 days except in one animal, which still showed slight erythema after 7 days (score 1).
Dry, chapped and squamos skin was found in 1 of 3 animals 72 hours after removal of the patch and in all animals after 7 days.

- Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- Only transient, slight erythema, but no edema, was noted in 2/6 animals after 24 hr occluded contact to intact rabbit skin. The substance was not irritating to the rabbit skin, even under worst case conditions (occlusion, 24 hr-exposure period).
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study six Himalayan rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol DM undiluted) for 24 hours to an area of approx. 6 cm². Animals then were observed for additional 48 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
After 24 hours occlusive exposure, only 2 of 6 animals showed slight erythema (grade 1). No edema were observed. 24 hours after patch removal, the erythema had subsided. In this study, octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol DM) is minimally irritating to the skin (Hollander/Hoechst AG, 1975b).
This dermal irritation study in the rabbit is acceptable. It complies with the OECD guideline 404 with reasonable restrictions. Deviations are rather expected to enhance the irritating effect.
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Justification for type of information:
- The source substance is octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (tricyclo[2.2.2.2~1,4~]decane-2,5-diyldimethanol), the target substance octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenemethanol, which differ only by one methanol group. Therefore ist seems justified to take data concerning the source substance also into account for the target substance. The exposure to the source substance was for 24 h, that of the target substance 4 h. Therefore the results for the source substance (not irritating) is attached more importance compared to the target substance. Though somewhat differing in their skin irritating properties, the read-across is supported by a comparable potency of eye irritation.

- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- CL-Freetext:
The TS caused moderate eye irritation in all animals.
The effects were reversible and were absent in two animals at 14 days after treatment. Cornea opacity and conjunctivae redness grade 1 persisted in one animal until the end of the observation period, however, the effects were less severe than after the beginning of the observation period. As it can reasonably be assumed, that the effects would have been fully reversible, if the observation period would have been extended to 21 days, it is concluded that the substance is irritating to the eyes (GHS Cat. 2A).
- Executive summary:
Eye irritating effects have been investigated in rabbits according to OECD TG 405. At the end of the treatment period cornea opacity, as well as effects on the iris, and conjunctivae were observed (mean values after 24 -48 -72 hours for all three animals: 1.22, 0.55, 1.66 and 1.33, for cornea, iris, redness and chemosis, respectively). The effects were reversible and were absent in two animals at 14 days after treatment. Cornea opacity and conjunctivae redness grade 1 persisted in one animal until the end of the 14 day observation period, however, the effects were less severe than after the beginning of the observation period.

- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study, 100 mg (equivalent to approx. 0.1 mL) of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol DM) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 Himalayan rabbits for 24 hours. After 24 hours eyes were washed with physiological saline solution. Animals then were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored according to Table E: Grading of Ocular Lesions of OECD test guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion).
Irritation reactions of cornea and conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) developed within 1 to 24 hours after application. Effects on cornea had their peak at 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were absent at day 14. Effects on conjunctiva peaked within 24 to 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were not to be observed at days 7 (Hollander/Hoechst AG; 1975b).
In this study, octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol DM) is irritating to the eye based on EU legislation.
This eye irritation study in the rabbit is acceptable. It complies with OECD guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion).

Additional information
In an in vivo guideline study according to OECD TG 404 three rabbits were dermally exposed for 4 h toward 0.5 mL of the undiluted test item (submission substance octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenemethanol).
The test item caused well defined erythema and slight oedema in all rabbits within 24 hours after removal of the patch. The effect persisted until 72 hours (mean erythema scores for the individual animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours: 2.3, 2.0, 2.3; mean edema scores for the individual animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours: 1.0, 1.0, 1.3 ) and subsided within 7 days except in one animal, which still showed slight erythema after 7 days (score 1). Dry, chapped and squamous skin was found in 1 of 3 animals 72 hours after removal of the patch and in all animals after 7 days. Based on these results, the substance would be considered as irritating to skin (CLP and UN-GHS: Cat. 2).
In an in vivo guideline study comparable to OECD 404 6 rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (structural analogue) for 24 hours to an area of approx. 6 cm². Animals then were observed for additional 48 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. After 24 hours occlusive exposure, only 2 of 6 animals showed slight erythema (grade 1). No edema were observed. 24 hours after patch removal, the erythema had subsided. In this study, octahydro-4,7 -methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol DM) is minimally irritating to the skin.
This dermal irritation study in the rabbit is acceptable. It complies with the OECD TG 404 with reasonable restrictions. Deviations from OECD guideline are rather expected to enhance the irritating effect.
Based on these results, the test substance would be considered as not irritating to skin.
Based on a WOE approach of in vivo investigations in rabbits with the submission substance octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenemethanol and the structural closely related octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (tricyclo[2.2.2.2~1,4~]decane-2,5-diyldimethanol) it is concluded that no classification on skin irritation for the submission substance is required:
The results of the submission substance would indicate classification as skin irritating Cat 2 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. However, the severeness of effect (erythema score 2.3) is equal to the lower boundary of the range for classification (>/= 2.3). Moreover, the closely structurally related octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol, which differs only by one methanol group, was not irritating even after 24 h epicutaneous exposure duration (compared to 4 h for the submission substance). Considering the results of both studies, it was concluded that no classification with regard to skin irritation is required for the submission substance. A comparable potency for skin irritation is supported by a comparable eye irritating potency for submission and read-across substance (see below).
Eye irritating effects of the submission substance octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenemethanol have been investigated in rabbits according to OECD TG 405. At the end of the treatment period cornea opacity, as well as effects on the iris, and conjunctivae were observed (mean values after 24 -48 -72 hours for all three animals: 1.22, 0.55, 1.66 and 1.33 for cornea, iris, redness and chemosis, respectively). The effects were reversible and were absent in two animals at 14 days after treatment. Cornea opacity and conjunctivae redness grade 1 persisted in one animal until the end of the 14 day observation period, however, the effects were less severe than after the beginning of the observation period. As it can reasonably be assumed, that the effects would have been fully reversible, if the observation period would have been extended to 21 days, it is concluded that the substance is irritating to the eyes (CLP: Cat. 2; UN-GHS: Cat. 2A).
Eye irritating effects of the structural analogue octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol have been investigated in rabbits in a study comparable to OECD TG 405. Irritation was scored according to Table E: Grading of Ocular Lesions of OECD test guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion). Irritation reactions of cornea and conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) developed within 1 to 24 hours after application. Effects on cornea had their peak at 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were absent at day 14. Effects on conjunctiva peaked within 24 to 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were not to be observed at days 7. Based on these results, the substance is considered as irritating to eyes (GHS: Cat. 2; UN-GHS Cat. 2A).
Experimental data for both substances, the submission substance and the read across substance, indicate that the submission substance is irritating to the eyes and that full reversibility within 21 days can plausibly be assumed. Therefore it is concluded that the submission substance should be classified as irritating to the eyes (CLP: Cat. 2; UN-GHS: Cat. 2A).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on a WOE approach (see Additional information, above) of in vivo investigations in rabbits with the submission substance and the structural closely related octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (tricyclo[2.2.2.2~1,4~]decane-2,5-diyldimethanol) it is concluded that no classification on skin irritation is required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and United-Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (UN-GHS, 7th revised version, 2017).
Based on a WOE approach (see Additional information, above) of in vivo investigations in rabbits with the submission substance and the structural closely related octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (tricyclo[2.2.2.2~1,4~]decane-2,5-diyldimethanol) it is concluded that the submission substance has to be classifed as eye irritating Cat. 2 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and as eye irritating Cat. 2A according to the United-Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (UN-GHS, 7th revised version, 2017).
