Description of key information
Skin irritation was tested in a guideline study according to OECD guideline 404 in 6 Himalyan rabbits. With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin.
Ethylene-bis[3,3-bis(3-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)butyrate] was tested for its eye irritant properties in 6 Albino-Himalayan rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 405. Effects on conjunctivae (redness and swelling) were observed in all animals one hour after application. These signs decreased significantly within 72 hours and full reversibility is assumed occur after 14 days recovery.

- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
- Executive summary:
Hostanox O 3 was tested for its skin irritant properties in 6 Himalayan rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 404. Deviations were the absence of the recovery period of 14 days and a prolonged exposure period (24 hours). These conditions make the study design more rigid compared to the regarding OECD Guideline.
With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Additional information
Skin irritation: 1 key study available: not irritating
Eye irritation: 1 key study available: not irritating
There is one reliable study on the skin irritancy potential. Skin irritation was tested in a guideline study according to OECD guideline 404 in 6 Himalyan rabbits. With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin.
There is one reliable study available on the eye irritancy potential. Ethylene-bis[3,3-bis(3-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)butyrate]was tested for its eye irritant properties in 6 Albino-Himalayan rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 405.
Effects on conjunctivae (redness and swelling) were observed in all animals one hour after application. These signs decreased significantly within 72 hours and full reversibility is assumed occur after 14 days recovery.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Study performed in analogy to current OECD guideline.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Methods applied similar to OECD405
Justification for classification or non-classification
With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Ethylene-bis[3,3-bis(3-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)butyrate] does not have to be classified as irritant to the akin and eyes according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
