An acute eye irritation study was conducted in 3 rabbits in accordance with OECD 405 (2002), EU Method B.5 (2008), EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (1998) and according to GLP principles. In none of the animals, any effects on the cornea were observed. In all animals, an iris score of 1 was observed after 1 hour. Conjunctival redness (score: 1) was observed in all animals after 1 and 24 hours and in two animals also after 48 hours. In these two animals, chemosis (score: 1) was observed after 1 hour and in the other animal chemosis (score: 2). All ocular effects fully reversed within 72 hours.

Additional information
Skin irritation
In an in vitro skin irritation test using a human skin model ( EPISKIN Standard Model), according to current OECD/EC guidelines, the influence of L579 on the viability of human skin was tested. The test substance was applied directly to cultured skin. After 15 minutes, the substance was removed and cells were cultured for 42 hours. Survival of unexposed skin was set at 100%, the positive control had a mean cell viability of 17% whereas L579 showed cell viability of 88%. Since the mean relative tissue viability after exposure to L579 was above 50%, it can be concluded that L579 is not an irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test.
In an in vivo skin irritation study in rabbits, conducted in accordance with OECD 404 (2002), EU Method B.4 (2008), EPA OPPTS 870.2500 (1998) and according to GLP principles, 3 female rabbits were semi-occlusively exposed for 4 hours to 0.5 g of the (moistened) substance. In 2 animals slight redness was observed, which reversed within 24 or within 72 hours. No significant clinical signs of toxicity nor mortalities were observed. Based on the result of this study, the substance does not need to be classified for skin irritation/corrosion in accordance with the CLP Regulation.
Eye irritation
An eye irritation study was conducted in 3 rabbits in accordance with current OECD/EC guidelines and according to GLP principles. In none of the animals, any effects on the cornea were observed. In all animals, an iris score of 1 was observed after 1 hour. Conjunctival redness (score 1) was observed in all animals after 1 and 24 hours and in two animals also after 48 hours. In these two animals, chemosis (score 1) was observed after 1 hour and in the other animal chemosis (score 2). All ocular effects fully reversed within 72 hours.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
There are 2 studies available, an in vitro and an in vivo study. Both studies are suitable for the endpoint conclusion, the in vivo study is selected.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of an in vitro skin irritation study, an in vivo skin irritation study and an in vivo eye irritation study, the substance does not need to be classified for skin or eye irritation according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
