Additional information

Skin

In a key skin irritation study (Bayer AG, 1984), according to OECD guideline 404, three female rabbits were exposed with 0.5 g dipropoxy-p-toluidin by semiocclusive dressing for 4 hours. Thereafter the dressing was removed and the treated skin area was washed with water. Skin reactions were scored using the grading system according to OECD guideline 404 1h, 24h, 72h and7 days after patch removal. No skin irritating effects could be observed at any of the scoring time points.

In a second dermal irritation study (BASF AG, 1978), performed according to an BASF-internal standard method, two rabbits were dermally exposed to diisopropanol-p-toluidin (dissolved in 50 % water). The test site (intact skin) was covered with an occlusive dressing for 1min, 5 min, 15 min and 20 hours. Furthermore, rabbit ear was exposed to the test substance for 20 hours. Rabbits then were observed for 8 days. Erythema grade 1 observed in one animal at the 24 h reading was the only sign at skin. Diisopropanol-p-toluidin exhibited to be not irritating.

Eye

A first eye irritation study (Bayer AG, 1984) was performed according to OECD guideline 405 and classified as key study. At this 100 µL dipropoxy-p-toluidin was applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye of three rabbits (female). According to the Draize evaluation for eye irritation the effects to the conjunctivae, iris, chemosis, cornea and the lacrimation were scored. The treated eyes were washed 24h after instillation. Diisopropanol-p-toluidin caused slight signs of irritation (corneal opacity, conjunctional redness and chemosis of maximum grade 1 up to 72h after installation and lacrimation up to 24h after installation) only with relevance for C&L according to GHS.

In a second eye irritation study (BASF AG, 1978), performed according to an BASF-internal standard method,

50 mg of diisopropanol-p-toluidin was placed in the conjunctival sac of one eye of two Vienna White rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed. Eye reaction was examined at 1 h, 24 h and 8 days after treatment. The test substance revealed minimal eye irritating effects (conjunctivae score 1, cornea score 1, chemosis score 1) which had not fully revised at the end of the 8 days observation period. This result is not relevant for C&L, as the treated eyes were not rinsed and the effects might have been caused by mechanical irritation due to reminants of the solid test item. Furthermore, the observation period was only 8 days instead of 14 days and the key study, in compliance with OECD 405, did not show any irritating effects relevant for C&L.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data dipropoxy-p-toluidin is subject for C&L regarding eye irritation according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC: Cat. 2, H319 "causes serious eye irritation".
