Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Time point:
other: up to 8 days
Reversibility:
not specified
Remarks on result:
other: moderately irritating
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate erythema and moderate edema of the intact skin were observed for 72 hours. At 72 hours
these animals exhibited scaling, which was still observed on day 8. Necrosis was observed in 1/6
animals (intact skin) and in 6/6 animals (scarified skin) until termination of the study. Overall, the
authors evaluated o-toluidine as moderately irritating.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
O-toluidine was assed as being moderately irritating. It is therefore not classified for skin irritation.
Executive summary:

Slight to moderate erythema and moderate edema of the intact skin were observed for 72 hours. At 72 hours

these animals exhibited scaling, which was still observed on day 8. Necrosis was observed in 1/6

animals (intact skin) and in 6/6 animals (scarified skin) until termination of the study. Overall, the

authors evaluated o-toluidine as moderately irritating.

Not classified for skin irritation.
