Additional information

Skin Irritation

In a primary dermal irritation study, performed using a method identical to that described in the Federal Register, 38, No. 187 § 1500.41, 0.5 g of the test substance (no data on purity) was applied under occlusive conditions to the intact and abraded skin of 6 Albino rabbits. Treatment was terminated 24 hours following application and the animals were observed afterwards (no data on duration of observation period). Irritation was scored according to the Draize method 24 and 72 hours after application.

Average scores per animal (24 h – 72 h) were 0 (maximal score = 4). No signs of skin irritation were evident by the end of the observation period.

Results from the abraded skin are not included in the final judgement for skin irritation of the test substance because of its lack of scientific justification and gross deviation from todays acceptable standardized procedures for the appraisal of skin irritation. In this study, the test substance is not a skin irritant.

 

This study is suitable for assessment of dermal irritation as it was performed using a protocol which is similar and equivalent to the OECD guideline. The conditions are even harsher (occlusive, extended exposure) than that described by the actual OECD guideline.

 

 

Eye irritation

The eye irritation potential of the test substance (no data on purity) was determined in a procedure identical to the procedure described in the Federal register 38, No. 187 § 1500.42, 0.1 g of the test substance was applied to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each of 6 Albino rabbits. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. Irritation was recorded after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Appraisal of eye irritation was performed according to the method of Draize. Average Draize scores (24, 48 and 72 hours) were calculated per animal for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctivae redness and chemosis. No indication for eye irritation was seen in any animal. All scored parameters in the 6 animals were 0. In this study, the test substance is not an eye irritant.

 

This study is suitable for assessment of eye irritation as it was performed using a protocol which is similar and equivalent to the OECD guideline.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dangerous substance Directive (67/548/EEC)

The available experimental test data are considered reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification. Based on the criteria for classification of skin irritants of Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 28th time in Directive 2001/59/EC, classification for skin and eye irritation is not warranted.

 

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification. Based on the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the fifth time in Directive EC 944/2013, classification for skin and eye irritation is not warranted.
