Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after the application of the test material, distinct hyperemia of some blood vessels (score 1) and slight chemosis (score 1) were observed in all animals. 24 hours later, one animal was free of irritation symptoms, two still showed hyperemia of some blood vessels (score 1), one of them in combination with slight chemosis. After 48 hours, the erythema was unchanged (score 1) in these two animals, whereas the chemosis had disappeared. After 72 hours, the erythema was only detected in one animal. On day 6, all animals had no more signs of irritation of the eyes or mucosae. No changes of the iris and cornea were detected throughout the observation period.
Other effects:
White slimy exudate in 2/3 animals 1 h after treatment.

Additional information

Skin:

Only a single study conducted according to guideline OECD 404 and under GLP is available. The study is considered to be relevant, reliable (Klimisch 1) and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling. No irritating effect was observed in any of the three rabbits tested.

Eye:

Only a single study conducted according to guideline OECD 405 and under GLP is available. The study is considered to be relevant, reliable (Klimisch 1) and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling. Slight, reversible erythema (average score 0.56) and chemosis (average score 0.11) of the conjunctivae, but no effects on iris and cornea were observed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on Skin Corrosion/Irritation is considered reliable for the classification and labeling.

Based on the result, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification under the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.2.2.

The available data on Eye Irritation is considered reliable and suitable for classification and labeling.

Based on the result, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification under the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.3.2.
