Irritant / corrosive response data:
Moderate erythema (grade 2), observed in all animals immediately and 1 hour after removal of the patch, increased to marked (grade 3) after 24 hours and persisted up to 72 hours in all animals and up to day 7 in one animal. Marked erythema decreased to moderate in two animals on day 7 and to slight (grade 1) in all animals after 14 days (study termination). Slight or moderate edema (grade 1 or 2) was noted in all animals immediately and 1 hour after removal of the patch. Slight edema persisted in 1 animal up to day 7. Additionally erythema and edema were partly extended beyond the area of exposure.

Moreover scaling, partly extending beyond the area of exposure, severe scaling as well as petechiae, both extending beyond the area of exposure and thickening of the skin in the region of the application area were noted during the observation period.

The cutaneous reactions (such as slight erythema) were not reversible in all animals within study termination on day 14.

Additional information

Skin irritation

Irritation to skin was analyzed in a reliable GLP-study conducted according to OECD 404 (BASF, 2003). 0.5 ml of undiluted iso-tridecan-1-ol (> 99%) was administered to the skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits for 4 h under semi occlusive conditions. The mean scores (24 - 48 -72 h) for erythema and edema were 3 and 0.3, respectively. Within 14 days, erythema scores decreased to 1, but did not reverse completely. Edemas were reversible (within 24 h in 2 animals and within 7 days in 1 animal). Additionally, scale formation at the end of the observation period was observed.

A second study (BASF, 1963), which was conducted before the implementation of GLP and OECD Guidelines, confirmed the irritant potential of the test substance. 2 rabbits per group were exposed to 0.5 g test substance under occlusive conditions for 1, 5, or 15 min, or for 24h. Regardless of exposure time, at most slight edema (grade 1) and moderate erythema (mean values of 2.5 – 2.75) were observed. 20 hours occlusive exposure also led to superficial necrosis. Effects were reversible within 8 days, though scaling remained.

Additionally, an in vitro EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity Test was conducted (BASF, 2003; according to OECD 431) with Isotridecanol H (> 99%). Based on the observed results it was concluded, that the test substance does not show a corrosive potential. Irritant effects cannot be excluded by this in vitro test.

Open application of 0.01 mL of undiluted Tridecanol caused skin irriation grade 4 on a scale of 1-10, maximum value in 5 rabbits (Smyth, 1962), while secondary sources report no skin irritation in rats or rabbits, if the test substance is applied openly (BIBRA 1988, OECD SIDS, 2006).

Eye irritation

Irritation to eyes was analyzed in a reliable GLP-study conducted according to OECD 405 (BASF, 2003). Three New Zealand White rabbits received a single instillation of 0.1 ml of the undiluted test substance. After 24 h the test substance was removed with tap water. The mean cornea, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis scores (24 – 48 – 72 h) were 0.2, 0, 1 and 0, respectively. All effects were reversible within 7 days.

The findings of an additional study (BASF, 1963) confirm these results. The lower amount of 50µL of Tridecanol caused only slight conjunctival redness and chemosis after 1h in 2 animals, but no signs of irritation after 24h.

Smyth et al. 1962 also reported only a slight irritant potential of grade 2 on a scale of 1-10, which means that 500µL (five times the amount required by current guidelines) of undiluted test substance did not cause severe injury (1-5 points on a scale of 0-20).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification for skin irritation is based on the OECD guideline study, which results in classification as a skin irritant cat. 2 according to 1272/2008/EC (CLP). All remaining studies (except for open applications of an unknown amount) support this conclusion.

The results reported for eye irritation do not meet the classification criteria according to 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
