Executive summary:

Test Guidance

Skin irritation study performed by a similar method to 16 CFR 1500.41 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act Regulations.

Method and Material

Six New Zealand White rabbits were clipped and then one side of the back was abraded to penetrate the stratum corneum with the other side kept intact. A 0.5 mL portion of the test material was applied to an abraded and an intact skin site of the same rabbit. A gauze patch was placed over each application site and an impervious material was wrapped around the trunk of the animal to hold the patches. The wrapping was removed after 24 hours. Treated areas were examined for erythema and edema using the Draize method of scoring at 24 and 72 hours.

Results

Only one rabbit exhibited very slight erythema at the 24 hour observation. There was no other irritation effect noted in any other rabbits at the 24 hour observation and all rabbits appeared normal at the 72 hour observation. All observed effects were reversed by the 72 -hour observation.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is not required for skin irritation.

Executive summary:

Test Guidance

Eye irritation study performed by a similar method to 16 CFR 1500.42 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act,

Method and Material

0.1 mL of the test material was instilled into the right eye of six young adult albino rabbits. The left eye served as the untreated control. The test material was not washed from the eye. Treated eyes were examined at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days following treatment. Interpretation of results was made in accordance with the Draize scale.

Results

No effects were observed in any animal at any observation period.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance is not required for eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the CLP Regulation, No 1272/2008, a substance should be classified as a skin irritant if:

- Mean value of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0 for erythema/eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or

- Inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or

- In some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above.

In the skin irritation study, only one rabbit exhibited very slight erythema at the 24 hour observation. There was no other irritation effect noted in any other rabbits at the 24 hour observation and all rabbits appeared normal at the 72 hour observation. All observed effects were reversed by the 72 -hour observation. As such, the test item does not meet the classification criteria.

In accordance with the CLP Regulation, No 1272/2008, a substance should be classified as a eye irritant if, for reversible effects:

if, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:

— at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:

— corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or

— iritis ≥ 1, and/or

— conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or

— conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2

— calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material, and which fully reverses within an observation period of 21 days.

In the eye irritation study, no effects were observed in any animal at any observation period. Therefore, the test item does not meet the classification criteria.
