Description of key information
Key acute dermal irritation and eye irritation studies in rabbits were conducted with Ethyl trichloroacetate, demonstrating irritation for skin and no irritation for eye irritation. Mean 24 -72h scores for skin were 1.1/ 4 (3') and 2.1/4 (4h) for erythema and 0.2/4 (3') and 1.4/4 (4h) for edema. Skin irritation was reversible within 7 and 14 days, after 3 minutes and 4 hours exposure. Mean 24 -72h scores for eye were 0/4 for cornea, 0/2 for iris, 0.1/3 for conjuctival redness and 0/4 for chemosis. Findings for conjuctival redness were fully reversible wihting 48 hours.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- At an exposure time of 3 minutes, very slight to well-defined erythema and barely perceptible edema were observed. No signs of irritation were observed 7 days after application. The skin was merely still dry, brittle or fine-to-rough scaly and in one animal small areas with brownish discoloration were observed.
At an exposure time of 4 hours well-defined to moderate erythema and edema were observed. 14 days after application, the treated skin showed no more irritation. The skin was also dry, brittle, fine-to-rough scaly and brownish. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- According to the classification criteria of the EC Directive and taking into account all relevant toxicological findings, the test substance Ethyl trichloroacetate can be described as an irritant at an exposure time of 4 hours.
- Executive summary:
Acute dermal irritation was tested in 6 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline 404. Twenty-four hours before application, a dorsolateral area of the trunk (ca. 25 cm2)of 3 rabbits was shaved. Only animals with an intact skin were used for testing.
0.5 mL undiluted test item was applied on 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose adhesive plaster. The plaster was fixed on the shaved area and covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. Exposure time was 3 minutes and 4 hours respectively. After exposure, the remaining test item was gently removed from the skin. Examinations were performed 30-60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the plaster. Additional examinations were done after 7 and (in 3 animals) after 14 days, because of findings after 72 hours. Erythema and edema were numerically scored after Draize. All other toxicological significant findings were recorded.At an exposure time of 3 minutes, very slight to well-defined erythema and barely perceptible edema were observed. No signs of irritation were observed 7 days after application. The skin was merely still dry, brittle or fine-to-rough scaly and in one animal small areas with brownish discoloration were observed.
At an exposure time of 4 hours well-defined to moderate erythema and edema were observed. Mean 24 -72h scores were 1.1/ 4 (3') and 2.1/4 (4h) for erythema and 0.2/4 (3') and 1.4/4 (4h) for edema.14 days after application, the treated skin showed no more irritation. The skin was also dry, brittle, fine-to-rough scaly and brownish.
Accordingto the classification criteriaof the EC Directiveandtaking into account allrelevant toxicological findings, the test substance Ethyl trichloroacetate can be described as an irritant at an exposure time of 4 hours.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- There were minor irritative symptoms. 1 Hour after application in one of 3 animals slight turbidity in the cornea was seen. The conjunctivae showed redness and swelling at this time. There was small, clear discharge. 24 Hours post application in only one animal, a slight conjunctival redness was observed.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- 1) "In accordance with the classification criteria of the EC Directive and taking into account all relevant toxicological findings, the substance Ethyl trichloroacetate is described as non-irritating to the eye." Dr. Rupprich, Department of Toxicology - Toxicology commercial Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft, 1983
2) "In accordance with the classification criteria of EU Directive 83/467/EEC and in consideration of all relevant toxicological findings the substance Ethyl trichloroacetate does not require labeling." Dr. Kreiling, Dr. Jung, Pharma Research Toxicology - Toxicology commercial Hoechst AG, 1996 - Executive summary:
Eye irritation was tested in 3 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline 405.
24 hours before the start of the test the eyes of the animals to be treated, were examined under UV light after instillation of a drop of sodium fluorescein solution (0.01%) for damage of the cornea. Only animals without findings, were taken in the experiment.
In 3 rabbits single application of 0.1 mL of the test substance Ethyl trichloroacetate was performed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The untreated eye served as a control. 24 Hours after administration of the test substance, the treated eyes were thoroughly washed with 37 ° C warm physiological saline.
The assessment of the eyes was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation. Damage to the cornea, iris and conjunctivae were rated numerically according to Draize. All other toxicologically significant findings were recorded. In addition, following administration of a drop of fluorescein sodium solution (0.01% by weight), the eyes were examined 24 and 72 hours after instillation of the test substance under UV light for damage of the cornea.
There were minor irritative symptoms. 1 Hour after application in one of 3 animals slight turbidity in the cornea was seen. The conjunctivae showed redness and swelling at this time. There was small, clear discharge. Mean 24 -72h scores were 0/4 for cornea, 0/2 for iris, 0.1/3 for conjuctival redness and 0/4 for chemosis. 24 Hours post application in only one animal, a slight conjunctival redness was observed.
In accordance with the classification criteria of the EC Directive and taking into account all relevant toxicological findings, the substance Ethyl trichloroacetate is described as non-irritating to the eye.

Additional information
In a key study (Rupprich and Weigland, 1983), acute dermal irritation of Ethyl chloroacetate was tested in 6 New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive bandage for 3 minutes and 4 hours respectively. After exposure, the remaining test item was gently removed from the skin. At an exposure time of 3 minutes, very slight to well-defined erythema and barely perceptible edema were observed. Mean 24 -72h scores were 1.1/ 4 (3') and 2.1/4 (4h) for erythema and 0.2/4 (3') and 1.4/4 (4h) for edema.No signs of irritation were observed 7 days after application.
The skin was merely still dry, brittle or fine-to-rough scaly and in one animal small areas with brownish discoloration were observed.At an exposure time of 4 hours well-defined to moderate erythema and edema were observed. 14 days after application, the treated skin showed no more irritation. The skin was also dry, brittle, fine-to-rough scaly and brownish.
In a key study (Rupprich and Weigland, 1983), eye irritation was tested in 3 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline 405 into the conjunctival sac of the left eye; the untreated eye served as a control. 24 Hours after administration of the test substance, the treated eyes were thoroughly washed with 37 ° C warm physiological saline. There were minor irritative symptoms. 1 Hour after application in one of 3 animals slight turbidity in the cornea was seen. The conjunctivae showed redness and swelling at this time. There was small, clear discharge. 24 hours post application in only one animal a slight conjunctival redness was observed. Mean 24 -72h scores were 0/4 for cornea, 0/2 for iris, 0.1/3 for conjuctival redness and 0/4 for chemosis. Findings for conjuctival redness were fully reversible wihting 48 hours.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Key study according to regulatory standards
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Key study according to regulatory standards
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results the test substance needs to be classified for skin irritation according to the Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex VI with symbol Xi and the indication of danger “irritant”; the following risk phrase shall be assigned: R38 - Irritating to skin. According to CLP regulation (No. 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008), the test substance is classified as Category 2, with signal word 'Warning' and hazard statement: H315 - Causes skin irritation.
For the eye, the substance does not need to be classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex VI and CLP Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex VI.
