EVALUATION CRITERIA (according to EEC Directive No. 83/467/ July 29, 1983)
Corrosion criteria
A substance or a preparation is considered to be corrosive if, when it is applied to healthy intact animal skin, it produces full thickness destruction of skin tissue on at least one animal during the test for skin irritation.

Irritation criteria
A substance or a preparation is considered to be irritant if it causes inflammation of the skin or ocular lesions corresponding to the evaluation of the parameters given below:

Inflammation of the skin
which persists for at least 24 hours after an exposure period of up to four hours and corresponds to the following values determined on the rabbit according to the cutaneous irritation test method cited in Annex V:
- the mean value of the scores for either erythema and eschar formation or edema formation, calculated over all the animals tested, is two or more,
- or, in the case where the Annex V test has been completed using three animals, either erythema and eschar formation or edema formation equivalent to a mean value of two or more calculated for each animal separately has been observed in two or more animals.
In both cases all scores at each of the reading times (24, 48, and 72 hours) for an effect should be used in calculating the respective mean values.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
After dermal application of 0.5 g test article moistened with Tween 80 to male rabbits for 4 h according to OECD 404 (1981) no erythema or edema were observed. Therefore, the test article is considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin according to EU 67/548/EEC Directive and EC/1272/2008.
Other effects:
A slight loss of body weight was observed in animal No. 102 on day 3.

Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 404) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 404-360-3) was determined to be not irritating to skin. 0.5g of the test material was moistened with Tween 80 on a semiocclusive patch before being applied to male rabbits for 4 hours. As no erythema or edema were observed at the 24, 48, or 72 hour observation periods, the test material is not classified as irritating to skin according to CLP regulation 1272/2008.

Conclusions:
The test material invoked no meaningful indications of irritation over the duration of the test. The test material is not considered an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 405) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 404-360-3) was determined to be not irritating to eyes. Undiluted test material (0.1 ml, corresponding to 38 mg) was applied directly to an eye of three rabbits with the other eye of each being the control. The conditions of the eyes were then observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. At 1 hour, only slight effects graded 1 or 2 were observed. After 24 hours conjunctival redness graded 1 was observed in one animal only, this was fully reversible over the duration of the test. Thus, according to CLP regulation 1272/2008, this substance is not classified for eye irritation.

Additional information

After dermal application of 0.5 g test article moistened with Tween 80 to male rabbits for 4 h according to OECD 404 (1981) no erythema or edema was observed.

When 0.1 mL (corresponding to 38 mg) test article was placed into an eye of each of three rabbits according to OECD 405 (1981) without rinsing slight effects (graded 1), were seen at reading time point 1h. After 24 h the only effect reported was conjunctival redness graded 1 in one animal.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for skin or eye irritation under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
