- Executive summary:
In this guideline (OECD 404) study conducted with GLP, the test material (EC 444-860-9) was induced mean erythema and edema scores of 0.0 in all test animals (rabbit) across the 24, 48, & 72 hour observation periods. The test material was exposed to the test animals (intact skin, 4 hours) under semi-occlusive conditions. The result of the test is not sufficient to meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant under the criteria of the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
Reference
The test item is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.

- - Irritation:
Application of the test item to healthy rabbit conjunctivae resulted in a primary eye irritation score of 0.89. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately. The individual mean score for corneal opacity and iris was 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 1.33, 0.33 and 1.00 for reddening and 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00 for chemosis, respectively.
No abnormal findings were observed in the iris of any animal at any of the measurement intervals.
A slight corneal opacity, affecting up to the whole area of the cornea, was observed in the treated eye of one animal at the 1-hour examination.
Slight to moderate reddening of the conjunctivae was observed in all animals from 1 to 24 hours after treatment and continued to be observed in two animals up to the 48-hour examination. Slight to obvious swelling of the conjunctivae was apparent in all animals 1 hour after treatment.
Assessment of the sclerae was not possible in one animal at the 1 -hour examination due to swelling of the conjunctivae. Scleral reddening, of various severity (mild to marked), was however subsequently observed in all animals up to 24 hours and in two animals up to 48 hours after treatment. Increased ocular discharge was observed in all animals 1 hour after treatment. Mucus was also present in the treated eye of one animal at the 24-hour examination. No abnormal findings were observed in the treated eye of any animal 72 hours after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. - Other effects:
- -Viability/mortality and clinical signs:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.
- Coloration:
No staining of the treated eyes by the test item was observed. White remnants of the test item were observed in the eye or conjunctival sac of all animals 1 hour after treatment.
- Body weight:
The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability. - Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Conclusions:
- The test material was found not to induce eye irritation in the Rabbit eye.
- Executive summary:
In this guideline (OECD 405) study conducted with GLP certification, the test material (EC 444-860-9) did not induce any significant, irreversible irritation in the rabbit eye at 24/48/72 hours. The test material was exposed to the 3 rabbits with an 8 day observation period. Based upon the results of this study, the test material does not meet the criteria for classification as an eye irritant under the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
Reference
The test item is considered to be "not irritating" to the rabbit eye.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
Respiratory irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Method and observations
Two studies were performed to evaluate irritating potential of the test material to skin or eyes. In the first study, six rabbits (3/sex/dose) were each administered a single dermal dose of 0.5 g of the test substance. Semiocclusive application of the test material to intact rabbit skin for four hours did not cause any reaction on animals skin.
In a second study, three female rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of 0.1 g of the test substance and observed for 72h after instillation. A single instillation of the test material into the eye of the rabbit elicited slight, transient redness of the conjunctiva which was fully reversible within 72h.
There are no data available about irritation to the respiratory system.
Discussion
Application of the test substance onto skin did not cause corrosion or irritation. Appllication into the conjunctival sac of the eye caused slight, transient conjuctival irritation which recoverd within 72h.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for irritation under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
