Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Data are available from in vivo skin and eye irritation studies conducted using a diluted form of the registered substance. These studies were conducted prior to the adoption of the relevant OECD Guidelines and have some differences in design compared to current Guidelines. However, the studies are well documented and considered sufficient for assessment.
In the skin irritation study in rabbits, at the 24-hour time point well-defined erythema to severe erythema was observed at both intact and abraded test sites, as well as edema ranging from moderate to severe. At the 72 -hour time point, no edema was noted but erythema ranged from well-defined to severe.
In the eye irritation study, positive reactions were noted in the treated eyes of all six rabbits at the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings. Some of the effects (cornea, iris) were reversible within 72 hours in some animals. However, the conjunctiva effects (erythema, chemosis, discharge) were not reversible within this time period.

- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 3 cm2 per test site
- % coverage: Not reported
- Type of wrap if used:
Each dose was introduced under a square patch of surgical gauze measuring 1 inch by 1 inch and two single layers thick. Patches secured in place with Coban elastic bandage and Johnson and Johnson Zonas porous adhesive tape. The entire trunk of each animal was then wrapped with an impervious non-reactive material (such as plastic, 2 mils thick) and sealed at both ends to retard evaporation of volatile substances and to prevent the ingestion of the test material. A white cotton towel (15cm x 45cm) was then wrapped over the plastic and secured with Johnson and Johnson Zonas porous tape.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After the 24-hour exposure, the patches were removed and the skin was wiped, but not washed (unless necessary to observe the skin) to remove any test substance still remaining.
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
A 30-minute period was allowed following removal of the test substance for pressure and hydration effects to subside. The animals were then scored for dermal reactions. Test sites were scored again after an additional 48 hours (i.e. 24 and 72-hour time points).
SCORING SYSTEM:
Irritation potential was scored according to the method of Draize (1944), as outlined in the Federal Hazardous Substances Act Grading Code at 16 CFR 1500.41. Primary irritation score was calculated as the total of the average scores for erythema / eschar formation and edema formation at 24- and 72-hours in either intact or abraded skin (8 values) divided by 4. - Irritation parameter:

- Other effects:
- No abnormal behaviour was noted in any animal during the conduct of this study.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- A primary irritation score of 5.38 was calculated. The test substance was therefore considered to be a primary dermal irritant according to the FHSA Regulations at 16 CFR 1500.3, as referenced in the study report. Severe erythema was observed at both the 24- and 72-hour timepoints in intact and abraded skin. Severe edema was noted at the 24-hour time point but was reversible within 72-hours. Due to the lack of 14-day observation period in this study, it is unclear whether the erythema would be reversible after a longer period of time. Therefore, as a worst case, the test substance is classified as Category 1 for skin corrosion/irritation under GHS and CLP. There is insufficient information to subcategorise.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted in order to evaluate the dermal irritation potential of the test substance in six New Zealand White rabbits (3/sex). The test sites were prepared by clipping the fur (dorsal trunk area) 24 hours prior to treatment. Two test sites (each approximately 3 cm2) were prepared within the clipped area per animal; one to the left of the spinal column and one to the right, with at least 3 cm of separation between test sites. On one site the skin was abraded immediately prior to treatment and on the other the skin was left intact. A dose of 0.5 ml test substance was applied to each site under semi-occlusive conditions for 24 hours. Following the exposure period, the test area was wiped and a 30 -minute period allowed for pressure and hydration effects to subside. The test areas were then scored for dermal reactions (erythema and edema). The animals were observed for an additional 48 hours (72 hours total) and the dermal reactions were then scored again. At the 24-hour time point, well-defined erythema to severe erythema was observed at both the intact and abraded test sites, as well as edema ranging from moderate to severe. At the 72 -hour time point, erythema ranged from well-defined to severe but no edema was noted. Due to the lack of 14-day observation period in this study, it is unclear whether the erythema would be reversible after a longer period of time. Therefore, as a worst case, the test substance is classified as Category 1 for skin corrosion/irritation under GHS and CLP. There is insufficient information to subcategorise.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Positive reactions were noted in the treated eyes of all six rabbits at the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings. In some animals, the cornea and iris effects were reversible within 72 hours, but this was not the case with the conjunctiva effects (erythema, chemosis, discharge) in any animal.
- Other effects:
- No abnormal appearance or behaviour was noted during the conduct of this study.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Positive reactions were noted in the treated eyes of all six rabbits at the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings. Therefore, when instilled into the eyes of albino rabbits the test substance was considered to be a primary irritant as defined in the FHSA Regulations at 16 CFR 1500.3, as referenced in the study report. Some of the effects (cornea, iris) were reversible within 72 hours in some animals. However, the conjunctiva effects (erythema, chemosis, discharge) were not reversible within this time period. Since a 21-day observation period (as recommended by the current OECD Guideline) was not included in this study, it is unclear whether the remaining irritation effects would be reversible after a longer period of time. Therefore, as a worst case, the test substance is classified as Category 1 for effects on the eye under GHS and CLP.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted in order to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the test substance in six New Zealand White rabbits (3/sex). The test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal. The lid was held together for one second to insure adequate distribution of the test material. Observations for eye irritation were made after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Positive reactions were noted in the treated eyes of all six rabbits at the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings. Some of the effects (cornea, iris) were reversible within 72 hours in some animals. However, the conjunctiva effects (erythema, chemosis, discharge) were not reversible within this time period. Since a 21-day observation period (as recommended by the current OECD Guideline) was not included in this study, it is unclear whether the remaining irritation effects would be reversible after a longer period of time. Therefore, as a worst case, the test substance is classified as Category 1 for irreversible effects on the eye under GHS and CLP.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Since 14 -day and 21 -day observation periods were not included in the skin and eye irritation studies, respectively, as recommended by current OECD Guidelines, it is unclear whether the irritation effects observed would be reversible after a longer period of time. Therefore, as a worst case, classifications of Category 1 for skin corrosion/irritation and for irreversible effects on the eye are appropriate under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. There is insufficient information to subcategorise for skin corrosion/irritation
