Executive summary:

The dermal irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

Acute dermal irritation study was carried out to assess the irritation potential of the test chemical.

Primary skin irritation on rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and was based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped abdominal skin of each of five albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 ml of undiluted sample or of solutions in water, propylene glycol, or acetone.

Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution

Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for the test chemical was Grade 6.

Based on this grade,the test chemical can be considered moderately irritating to rabbit skin.

Conclusions:

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner and was estimated to be irritating to eyes. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Category 2” as per CLP regulation.

Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

The eye irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in rats

The test chemical has shown experimentally to induce lipidosis of the retinal pigment epithelium and the sensory retina in rats when fed in high dosage for several weeks.

Hence, it can be considered to be irritating to eyes.

This is supported by the results of an acute eye irritation study carried out to assess the toxicity of the test chemical in rabbits.

Eye injury in rabbits is recorded in a 10- grade ordinal series and is based upon the degree of corneal necrosis that results from instillation of various volumes and concentrations of chemical.

Grade 1 indicates at most a very small area of necrosis resulting from 0.5 ml of undiluted chemical in the eye. Grade 5 indicates a so-called severe burn from 0.005 ml, and Grade 10 indicates a severe burn from 0.5 ml of a 1% solution in water or propylene glycol.

Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for the test chemical was Grade 8.

In the acute eye irritation study conducted in albino rabbits, the test chemical was considered to be moderately irritating to rabbit eyes.

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner and was estimated to be irritating to eyes. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Category 2” as per CLP regulation.
