The method employed in the testing was similar to that described in Section 1500.41 - Hazardous Substances and Articles. Administration and Enforcement Regulations, Federal Register, Vol 38 No 187 P.27019, 27 September 1973. Six albino rabbits were clipped, one side of the animals' back was abraded with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum cornium but not enter the derma. The skin of the other side remained intact. A 0.5g of test item was applied to an abraded and an intact skin site on the same rabbit. Gauza patches were then placed over the treated areas and an impervious material was wrapped snugly around the trunks of the rabbits to hold the patches in place. The wrapping was removed at the end of the 24-hour period and the treated areas were examined. Readings were also made at 72-hours. The Draize method of scoring was used

not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin irritation is not required.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of rabbits.

Method and materials

The intact and abraded skin of 6 rabbits was used. The hair was clipped from the backs of the rabbits. One side of the animals' back was abraded with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum cornium but not enter the derma. The skin of the other side remained intact. A 0.5g of test item was applied to an abraded and an intact skin site on the same rabbit. GauzE patches were then placed over the treated areas and an impervious material was wrapped snugly around the trunks of the rabbits to hold the patches in place. The wrapping was removed at the end of the 24-hour period and the treated areas were examined. Readings were also made at 72-hours. The Draize method of scoring was used.

Results

A single 24-Hour, occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of six rabbits produced a well defined erythema response in all six animals at the 24 & 72 -hour observation No other irritation responses were noted.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin irritation is not required.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act.

Method

A volume of 0.1g of the test item was placed into one eye of six rabbits. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed on day 1 and then daily for a period of 3 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the Illustrated gide for Grading Eye Irritation by Hazardous Substances

Results

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of six rabbits produced no effects.

Conclusion

The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

SKIN

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of rabbits. The intact and abraded skin of 6 rabbits was used. The hair was clipped from the backs of the rabbits. One side of the animals' back was abraded with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum cornium but not enter the derma. The skin of the other side remained intact. A 0.5g of test item was applied to an abraded and an intact skin site on the same rabbit.

The wrapping was removed at the end of the 24-hour period and the treated areas were examined. Readings were also made at 72-hours. The Draize method of scoring was used

A single 24-Hour, occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of six rabbits produced a well defined erythema response in all six animals at the 24 & 72 -hour observation No other irritation responses were noted.

Supporting date for the Acute Dermal Toxicity Study, showed individual dermal reactions for up to 14 days and there were no effects seen.

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin irritation is not required.

EYE

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act. A volume of 0.1g of the test item was placed into one eye of six rabbits. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed on day 1 and then daily for a period of 3 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the Illustrated gide for Grading Eye Irritation by Hazardous Substances

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of six rabbits produced no effects. The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Pre-GLP study providing adequate description of experimental methods.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Pre-GLP study providing adequate description of experimental methods.

Justification for classification or non-classification

SKIN

In the dermal irritation study, treatment with the test item resulted in erythema scores of 2 and edema scores of 0 in six animals at 24 and 72 hours, which is not sufficient for the substance to be classified under the terms of EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

EYE

Treatment with the test item caused no effects (cornea, iris and conjunctivae scores 0 at 24, 48 and 72 hours), which is not sufficient for the substance to be classified under the terms of EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
