- Details on study design:
- The skin corrosion test was carried out in six albino rabbits weighing 2.4 +/- c0.2 kg. The backs were shaved free of hair. A 0.5 m l of liquid t e s t material was applied on the back of each rabbit and the treated skin site was covered with a gauze and a "Dermicel" tape. The animal trunk was then loosely wrapped with an impervious rubberized cloth and a flexible stainless steel protective screen held in place by tape. Following a 4-hour exposure period, the patches were removed and the treated skin sites were gently cleaned. The sites were visually evaluated for erythema, edema, and tissue destruction at 4, 24, and 48 hours after exposure.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- There was no erythema or edema in any of the rabbits at 4, 24, and 48 hours. The treated skin sites were normal and there was no tissue destruction. Nofurther recordings were made.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- AEPD was tested for its skin corrosion and irritation potential in rabbits. It resulted in no skin damage; thus AEPD was found to be non-corrosive. There were also no signs of irritation and therefore it is not considered to be irritating.

- Details on study design:
- The primary skin irritation test was conducted on a group of six albino rabbits weighing 2.7 +/-0.1 kg. The skin from the back area of each rabbit was clipped free of hair. The skin on the left side of the middorsal line was left intact while the skin on the right side was abraded by making minor epidermal incisions in a tic-tac-toe pattern with a blunt hypodermic needle. The abrasions were minor incisions through the stratum corneum, but not deep enough to disturb the derma or produce bleeding. A 0.5 m l of P-1050, as supplied, was applied to each site and covered w i t h a gauze pad. The entire trunk was then wrapped with a rubberized impervious cloth and a flexible wire screen held in place by tape. After 24 h exposure, the bindings and patches were removed and the treated sites were gently cleaned. The skin reactions were scored immediately (24 h) and at the end of 72 h (48 h after the first scoring).

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- AEPD was irritating to both the intact and abraded skin. There was slight erythema and moderate to severe edema on all the intact skin sites. The abraded skin site showed severe edema and necrosis. However, the irritation of intact rabbit skin was normal in all but one animal by day 3 and in all animals by day 7, but the abraded skin site showed eschar formation by day 21.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, AEPD was irritating to the skin, however for intact skin the irritation had largely subsided by the 3rd day follwing tratment initiation and the skin had recovered completely by the 7th day following treatment initiation. For the abbraded skin, the reaction was more severe with more significant irritation leading to escher fomation by the 21st day following treatment initiation. Considering the treatment period of 24 hours compared to the 4 hours of the standard assay, and the fact that the intact skin was recovered within 3 days (in all but one animal), this substance appears to eb only mildly irritating and does not meet the criteria for classification as an irritant in the EU
- Executive summary:
The primary skin irritation test with AEPD was conducted on a group of six albino rabbits. The skin from the back area of each rabbit was clipped free of hair. The skin on the left side of the middorsal line was left intact while the skin on the right side was abraded by making minor epidermal incisions in a tic-tac-toe pattern with a blunt hypodermic needle. The abrasions were minor incisions through the stratum corneum, but not deep enough to disturb the derma or produce bleeding. A 0.5 ml of P-1050, as supplied, was applied to each site and covered with a gauze pad. The entire trunk was then wrapped with a rubberized impervious cloth and a flexible wire screen held in place by tape. After 24 h exposure, the bindings and patches were removed and the treated sites were gently cleaned. The skin reactions were scored immediately (24 h) and at the end of 72 h (48 h after the first scoring).
AEPD produced slight erythema and moderate to severe edema on all the intact skin sites. The abraded skin sites showed severe edema and necrosis. The average skin irritation score for the six rabbits was 4.6. Since the material produced skin irritation, the animals were held for further observation. All the treated intact skin sites were normal by day 7, but the abraded skin sites showed eschar formation by day 21. The average body weight gains of the treated animals were normal.

The liquid material applied easily on the skin. There was no erythema or edema in any of the rabbits at 4, 24, and 48 hours. The treated skin sites were normal and there was no tissue destruction.

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Animals purchased at least 1 week prior to study and allowed to acclimatise. Healthy animlas free of disease were selected for the study. 24 hours prior to test, animals examined for eye injury. Those with no injury were used in test. Animals were fed Purina Certified Rabbit Chow, ad libitum, certified free of contaminants by supplier.Animals were given tap water ad libitum. Water was tested to ensure levels of contaminants are equivalent to or less than recommended levels as per the primary drinking water regulations.
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: right eye of each animal served as control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 ml of AEPD
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- In 6 animals, the test compound was administered into the left eye. No washing of test compound out of eye took place. In three animals, the test compound was washed fromt he eye using water, 20 to 30 seconds after administration.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Observation period 21 days. At 24 hours, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment, the eyes were examined using fluorescein stain to assess corneal damage under UV light.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 9
- Details on study design:
- 0.1 ml of AEPD was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of the left eye. Six rabbits had their treated eyes unwashed while three had there treated eyes irrigated with water at 20 to 30 seconds following treatment. Eyes were examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours for damage and irritation. Additionally, at 24 hours, and then 7, 14 and 21 days, the eyes were examined using Fluorescein and UV light to assess corneal damage.

- Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Undiluted AEPD was found to be severly irritating to eyes. The unwashed eyes were permenently damaged by day 14. Washing the material from the eye prevented irreversible damage (eyes normal at day 21), however the material was still severly irritating. The substance needs to be classified as Category 2a (H319, severe eye irritation) under the CLP/GHS Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
2-Amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol or AEPD (P-1050) was tested in rabbits to determine the eye irritation potential of the product. At 24 h, all the animals’ corneas showed lesions and the eyes were severely irritated. The eyes of the unwashed group of animals never recovered and by day 14 were completely keratitised, and the animals were sacrificed. The organs in all the animals were normal. The eyes of the washed group of animals showed improvement by day 14 and were completely normal by day 21. One of the rabbits in the unwashed group died on day 8 of the test, and the post mortem examination showed that the animal was suffering from severe diarrhea; the death was not related to the treatment.
In conclusion, undiluted AEPD was found to be severly irritating to eyes. The unwashed eyes were permenently damaged by day 14. Washing the material from the eye prevented irreversible damage (eyes normal at day 21), however the material was still severly irritating. The substance needs to be classified as Category 2a (H319, severe eye irritation) under the CLP/GHS Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
Several skin irritation studies with 2 -amino-2 -ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPD) are available. AEPD is a highly alkaline substance; the pH of a 1% solution is 11.18 and of the 100% substance 11.78. In a reliable study performed by Parekh (1982d) on rabbits, 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied to shaved skin and covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The test substance caused slight erythema and moderate to severe oedema on all the exposed skin sites within 24 hours. The effects were fully reversible within 72 hours in 5/6 animals and within 7 days in all animals tested. Under the conditions of this study (24 h exposure) the test substance showed a skin irritating potential. Parekh performed an additional, reliable study (1982c) to assess the specific skin corrosion potential of the test substance in rabbits. The skin on the back of the animals was shaved and 0.5 mL of the test substance applied and covered with an occlusive dressing for 4 hours. The skin was then cleaned and examined. No erythema or oedema was observed in any of the animals 24 and 48 hours after exposure ended. Several other studies are also available. Sausaman (1975) reported that the test substance had a slight irritating effect in rabbits, with an overall irritation score of 1.37. In a study by Power (1974) the test substance is reported to be non-corrosive to the skin of rabbits. Machle (1941) assessed the potential skin irritating effect of AEPD in rabbits. A sample was applied to the shaved skin of a rabbit in 2 doses, 30 minutes apart, with an exposure time of 30 to 60 minutes. The rabbit was treated daily for 10 days. No skin irritating effects were observed during the study period. Taking all the available data into account, AEPD is not considered to be skin-irritating.
Eye irritation:
In a reliable study 0.1 mL AEPD was instilled into the eye of rabbits, after which the eye was either rinsed after 20 -30 seconds or not rinsed at all (Parekh, 1982). 24 hours after exposure, the corneas of the exposed eyes of all animals showed lesions and were severely irritated. Severe conjunctivae and chemosis were observed until 72 hours after exposure. The effects on the rinsed eyes were completely reversed by day 21, while the eyes that were not rinsed were completely keratinized by day 14.
In the second study, Sausaman (1974) reported that the test substance was corrosive to the rabbit eye, citing a maximum mean total score of 73.8. Taking the available data into account, AEPD is considered to have a corrosive effect on the eye.
Effects on eye irritation: corrosive
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin irritation of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
The available data on eye irritation of the test substance meet the criteria for classification as Category 1 (H318) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and as Xi, R41 according to Directive 67/548/EEC.
