Description of key information

After single occlusive exposure of intact as well as abraded clipped skin for 24 hours with 500 mg of moistened test material per site none of 6 animals showed irritation reactions. Neither erythemas nor edemas were observed at any treated site. 
The instillation of 100 mg of the solid analogous substance produced positive  effects in the conjunctivae of the 3 animals 1 and 24 hours after treatment. The test article was regarded as a mild irritant to the rabbit eye but the effects were not sufficient for classification.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival irritation, identified by moderate redness, slight to moderate swelling and discharge, was noted in the 3 treated animals one hour after treatment. At the 24 hour observation all 3 rabbits showed moderate redness of the conjunctival membranes. The conjunctival irritation regressed and all eyes appeared normal on day 7.
No corneal opacity or iridtal inflarnmation was noted during the study period.
The hair adjacent to the eye was stained brown by the test article.
Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information slight effects not sufficient for classification Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was a mild irritant to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritant effects of the test material on the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The protocol was designed to meet the requirements of Annex Vof the EEC Council Directive 79/831/EEC, the Organisatfon for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the HSE Approved Code of Practice Notification of New Substances Regulations 1982.

The instillation of 100 mg of solid Brown HH 469 produced positive eye effects in the conjunctivae of the 3 animals one and 24 hours after treatment. The test article was regarded as a mild irritant to the rabbit eye.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

No irritant effects were observed after dermal application of the test item for 24 hours. Ocular application produced slight transient irritation of the conjunctivae. Recovery was achieved within 2 days. Effects were not sufficient for classification.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
target substance tested

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
sole valid study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Not classified.

Classification is not needed as the criteria are not fulfilled, neither after dermal nor after ocular treatment. The slight ocular effects were not sufficient for classification.
