Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Of the three QSARs conducted for skin irritation, one (ToxTree) predicts the test item to be an irritant and two (OECDToolbox; read across and trend analysis) predict the test item to be non-irritating. Furthermore, the two human studies report no signs of irritation. Therefore, based on a weight of evidence approach, and interpretation of the human data, the test item is not considered to be a skin irritant according to CLP criteria (EC Regulation 1272/2008).

 

Both of the QSARs for eye irritation predict a non-irritating result. Therefore, based on a weight of evidence approach, the test item is not considered to be an eye irritant according to CLP criteria (EC Regulation 1272/2008).
