- Executive summary:
In an OECD 404 Guideline study, 0.5 g of test material moistened with water was applied to the shaved test site on each of six New Zealand white rabbits (male) and covered with a 2 layer gauze patch secured with non-irritating Kendall Curity Standard Porus tape covered with a semiocclusive plastic overwrap secured with non-irritating Kendall Curity Standard Porus tape for 4 hours. After 4 hours the test sites were wiped with a damp cloth. The sites were examined for erythema and edema using Draize method of scoring at 24, 48 and 72 hours, then 168 and 336 hours.
Semi occlusive 4 hour exposure to 0.5g of the test material produced erythema and/or oedema in 5 of the 6 test animals at 24 hours. At 72 hours 5 out of 6 animals still showed signs of erythema but oedema was observed in only one animal . All skin reactions were reversed by the 336 hour observation. The mean erythema score over the 24, 48 and 72 hour period was 1.5 and the mean oedema score over the same period was 0.3.
The test material does not require classification for skin irritation according to EU the CLP Regulation 1272/2008.

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is required for eye irritation. As effects are not reversible in at least one animal, classification as Category 1 serious eye damage is applicable. - Executive summary:
In an OECD Guideline No. 405 0.1 mL of the test material was applied as supplied to the non-irrigated eye of six albino New Zealand rabbits. Irritation was recorded using the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48, 72, 168, 336 and 504 hour time points.
There were positive eye irritation reactions in all of the six test subjects and the maximum group mean score was 37.0/110.0 at the 24 hour observation. Effects observed were not fully reversible in at least one animal by the 504 hour (21 day) observation point.
In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is required for eye irritation. As effects are not reversible in at least one animal, classification as Category 1 serious eye damage is applicable.

Additional information
Skin irritation
One reliable study is available. In this study, performed according to OECD 404 under GLP, 0.5g of the substance was applied to the shaved backs of six male New Zealand White rabbits and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. After four hours the dressing was removed and any excess substance removed with a damp cloth. The sites were examined for erythema and oedema at 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days. Erythema and/or oedema was observed in 5 of the 6 test animals at 24 hours. At 72 hours 5 out of 6 animals still showed signs of erythema but oedema was observed in only one animal. . All skin reactions were reversed by the 336 hour observation. The mean erythema score over the 24, 48 and 72 hour period was 1.5 and the mean oedema score over the same period was 0.3 [Kukulinski M (1997d)].
Eye irritation
One reliable study is available. In this study, performed according to OECD 405 under GLP, 0.1 mL of the substance was applied to the non-irrigated eye of six New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after instillation and effects on the cornea, iris and conjunctiva recorded. Effects were seen in the cornea (maximum individual average score for 24, 48 & 72 h = 1), iris (maximum individual average score for 24, 48 & 72 h = 1), conjunctiva (maximum individual average score for 24, 48 & 72 h = 2) and for chemosis (maximum individual average score for 24, 48 & 72 h = 2). The effects noted in the cornea (2/6 animals) iris (1/6 animals) and conjunctiva (3/6 animals) did not fully reverse by 21 days [Kukulinski M (1997e)].
Justification for classification or non-classification
In a GLP in vivo skin irritation study performed according to OECD TG 404, the substance produced scores of >= 2.3 in 1/6 animals. Based on the results of this study the substance is not classified for skin irritation in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
In a GLP in vivo eye irritation study performed according to OECD TG 405 the substance produced effects to the cornea and iris that were irreversible within 21 days.On this basis the substance is classified as Category 1 for eye effects in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
