- Executive summary:
In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 g of undiluted test material was moistened and applied on the shaved skin of the dorsal flank area of 3 Kleinrussen, Chbb:HM rabbits.Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after the removal of the patch.
Slight to weak erythema and slight oedema of the first, slight erythema of the second, and no reaction of the third experimental animal were observed during the first 72 hours after exposure. One week later the first and the second experimental animal were without irritation effects.
The individual scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) were 1.33 / 1.00 / 0.00 for erythema and 0.33 / 0.00 / 0.00 for oedema.
Therefore the test material is not classified as irritant to the skin according to the Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 Kleinrussen (Chbb: HM) rabbits. The eyes were rinsed 24 hours after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source, and then on Days 7 and 14. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale.
The observed conjunctival reactions of the experimental animals were weak and disappeared completely within 14 days.
The individual score for each individual lesion for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were 1.00/1.00/1.00 for erythema, 0.33/0.00/0.00 for chemosis and 0.00 for discharge, iris lesions and corneal opacity.
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
Two reliable studies (reliability scores of 1) were available (Henkel, 1992; RCC, 1990), conducted according to OECD guideline No. 404 and in compliance with GLP. The study of Henkel showed the highest irritation scores and was therefore selected as the key study.
In this study, the individual scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) were 1.33 / 1.00 / 0.00 for erythema and 0.33 / 0.00 / 0.00 for oedema. All effects were fully reversed within 7 days. Under the study conditions, the substance was not a skin irritant.
The study of RCC supports this conclusion with mean scores of 0.00 / 0.00 /0.33 for erythema and 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00 for oedema.
The last study (Biosearch, 1979, rel.3) was performed according to US-FHSA and accordingly involved a 24 -hour exposure followed by observation at 24 hour and 72 hour only. Mean scores of 1.83 and 1.00, for erythema and oedema respectively, were calculated over the 6 animals at 72 -hour. In the absence of 48 -hour scoring and based on the results from more reliable studies, the data were not considered appropriate for classification.
Eye irritation:
A key study was identified (Henkel, 1992, rel.1). In this eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 rabbits. The observed conjunctival reactions of the experimental animals were weak and disappeared completely within 14 days. The individual scores for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were 1.00/1.00/1.00 for erythema, 0.33/0.00/0.00 for chemosis and 0.00 for discharge, iris lesions and corneal opacity. Under the test conditions, the substance is not an eye irritant.
This result is supported by a second study performed according to US-FHSA but pre-GLP (Biosearch, 1979, rel.2). In this study, the calculated mean scores for all 6 animals within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were as follows: 0.55 for cornea opacity, 2.22 for area involved, 0.55 for iris lesions, 1.39 for redness, 1.55 for chemosis and 2.11 for discharge. Discharge score of 1 was still observed at the end of the observation period (7 days) in 1 animal but is expected to reverse within a standard period of 21 days.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 .
Self classification:
Based on the available data no additional self-classification is proposed regarding both skin and eye irritation according to the Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
No data was available on respiratory irritation, however the substance not being classified for skin and eye irritation, no classification is expected for respiratory irritation.
