Description of key information
Skin irritation/corrosion: no skin irritation or severe skin burns and eye
damage
The test material is not irritating to skin. This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
1/6 animals showed a score of 1 for edema in the 24 h reading. This effect was completely reversible within 48 h after removal of the test item.
Eye irritation: no serious eye irritation or damage
The test material was not irritating to eyes in all animals under test conditions which are basically in accordance with todays standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system and reading time points.

- Remarks on result:
- other: Scores of intact skin. Readings took place 0, 24 and 48 h after end of treatment. Means thereof were claculated for each rabbit.
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- - Edema score for animal #1,2,3,4,5,6 immediately after removal of the test item (0 h): 0,0,0,1,0,0 and after 24 h: 0,0,0,1,0,0, and after 48 h: 0,0,0,0,0,0 (intact skin).
- At the scarified skin two animals showed erythema (score 1) 24 h after end of exposure, 3 animals showed edema at the end of the exposure period (score 1) and 1 animal showed edema score 1 at 24 h after end of exposure, these effects were completely reversible at the reading 48 h after end of exposure. - Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test material is not irritating to skin. This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
1/6 animals showed a score of 1 for edema in the 24 h reading. This effect was completely reversible within 48 h after removal of the test item. - Executive summary:
The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guidelines. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for 48 hours after end of exposure. Only slight effects could be observed (1/6 animals showed a edema score of 1 in the 24 h reading, which was completely reversible in the 48 h reading.
No erythema effects could be observed in any animal.Therefore, it is concluded that the test item is not irritating to skin.

Additional information
most up to date and most reliable study available
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
most up to date and most reliable study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
All mean scores determined for skin and eye irritation were markedly below the threshold for classification. Furthermore no signs of corrosive properties were observed. Thus the substance subject to registration does not meet criteria for classification according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008.
