Description of key information

In conclusion, the test substance 7PPD showed a practically non-irritating potential to rabbit skin (Monsanto Co. 1973). The even very low skin irritation potential is confirmed by another skin irritation study (Monsanto Co. 1967a). A rather slight and transient eye irritation potential is noted in an eye irritation study (Monsanto Co. 1973). This finding is supported by an earlier eye irritating study, which revealed mild and transient eye irritating effects of 7PPD (Monsanto Co. 1967a).

The authors classed the test compound as a mild irritant in male and female rabbits. The average maximum score was 24.3 out of a possible 110 in one hour.

Little discomfort was shown immediatly following application.

mild redness, slight edema, copious discharge and slight cloudiness was recorded the first hour. Inflammation reduced somewhat overnight. discharge ceased within 48 -hours. corneal clarity was normal in less than five days with only a trace of erythema still present.

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

Additional information

Skin

The skin irritation potential of the test substance 7PPD was evaluated in a skin irritation study with six New Zealand Albino rabbits (Monsanto Co.1973). The undiluted test substance (0.5 mL) was applied under semi-occlusive dressings to clipped intact and abraded skin of 6 New Zealand albino rabbits for 24 hours. A 7-day observation period followed the test substance application. The test substance 7PPD was practically non-irritating to rabbit skin (mean irritation score intact and abraded skin: 0). However, a slight defatting effect (skin flaked off in seven to ten days) were observed. In an earlier skin irritation study transient and mild skin irritating effects were noted in treated rabbits (maximum score 2.3/8 at 24 h). The effects were fully reversible within 120 hours after treatment (Monsanto Co. 1967).

Eye

The eye irritating potential of the test substance 7PPD was evaluated in an eye irritation study with six New Zealand albino rabbits (Monsanto Co 1973). The undiluted test substance (0.1 mL) was placed into eyes of six rabbits. A 7-day observation period followed the application of the test substance. Eye response were scored in accordance with the Federal Hazardous substances Act (F. H. S. A.), 21 CFR, § 191.12 (1964). The test substance was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye (irritation score 24, 48, and 72 hours: 3.5/110.0). Effects on the conjunctivae were noted in all animals at 24 and 48 hours (mean score 24 h: 6.6/110, 48 h: 3.6) but were reversible within 72 hours. The test substance was not classified as eye irritating. In an earlier eye irritation study with rabbits, the test substance was classified as mild irritant with an average maximum irritation score of 24.3/110 one hour after treatment and average irritation scores of 19.3, 13.0, 7.0 and 2.6 at 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours, respectively. The effect was fully reversible after 168 hours (Monsanto Co. 1967).

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification is required according to the classification criteria 67/548/EWG and regulation no. 1272/2008 (GHS).
