Description of key information

Acute dermal irritation/corrosion study:

Reactions from severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema with slight edema (score:4/2) noted immediately after patch removal.

This became severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema with severe edema (score:4/4).

Necroses and scars noted from the epidermis to the dermis.

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm of impregnated lint cloth was applied to the application site
- Type of wrap if used: adhesive stretch bandage

The animal's general condition was observed once daily during the experimental period.
The animal was weighed before application on the day of application and after the completion of evaluation on the day of evaluation.
Irritation parameter:
erythema score
Basis:
animal #1
Time point:
other: 1 - 48 hours
Score:
4
Max. score:
4
Reversibility:
no data
Remarks on result:
other: No data on reversibility are available, because the test was ended after 48 hours due to the observation of corrosive effects
Irritation parameter:
edema score
Basis:
animal #1
Time point:
other: 1 - 48 hours
Score:
2 - 4
Max. score:
4
Reversibility:
no data
Remarks on result:
other: Slight edema was observed on the initial observation and 1 hour timepoint; this increased to severe edema from the 24 hour timepoint onwards
Irritant / corrosive response data:
As results, necroses and scars were noted from the epidermis to the dermis. The test substance was considered corrosive and no further experiment was perfonned. No abnormality was noted in general condition, and body weight showed a satisfactory increase during the observation period.
Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
From the results described above it has been concluded that the test substance is corrosive and classified as Category 1 in the GHS classification.
Executive summary:

In accordance with the OECD guidance document (No. 404), an acute dermal-irritation potential of 1-butanol, reaction products with 2-[(2-propen-1-yloxy) methyl] oxirane was examined in the Yoshimi Laboratories study (No. 1323). 0.5 mL of the application material impregnated into a 2.5x2.5-cm piece of lint cloth was directly applied to the application site, and the cloth was fixed with

adhesive stretch bandage. This semi-occlusive application was kept for 4 hours, and skin reaction was evaluated immediately after and 1, 24, and 48 hours after patch removal, pursuant to the table for grading of skin reactions in the guideline.

As results, reactions from severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema with slight edema were noted from immediately after patch removal.

Subsequently necroses and scars were noted from the epidermis to the dermis, indicating a corrosive effect.

Thus no further experiment was performed.

Regarding the GHS classification, the test substance is classified as Category 1 for its corrosive effect.

No abnormality was noted in general condition, and body weight showed an increase during the observation period.

Reference
Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study need not be conducted because the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to the skin or irritating to eyes

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

From the results described in the Acute Dermal-Irritation study in rats it has been concluded that the test substance is corrosive and classified as Category 1 in the GHS classification.

The eye irritation study need not be conducted because the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to the skin or irritating to eyes.
