Administrative data

Description of key information

neodecanoyl chloride causes  burns on the skin. Dispit being non irritation to the eye this implies the possible risk of severe eye damage as well

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (corrosive)

Eye irritation

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

Additional information

skin

Skin irritation was tested using an internal standard method (BASF test). This study meets scientific standards with acceptable restrictions (limited documentation).Whiterabbits were used. 2 animals were treated for 1 and for 4 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was covered with the test substance. After 4 h exposure irritation scores were as follows: erythema 2 /4 edema 2/4. One hour exposure still caused scores of erythema 2 /4 and edema a1.5/4. Full thickness necrosis was observed after 1 and 4 h exposure. Neodecanoyl chloride is corrosive according to the results of the study.

eye

In a Draize study, 0.1 mL neodecanoyl chloride was applied to the eyes of three rabbits (strain not specified) (BASF, 1979b). No corneal or iridal reaction was noted in any of the animals at any of the examination intervals. Slight conjunctival reddening was noted in all rabbits 24 hrs and in one animal 48 hrs after treatment. Changes were reversible and absent on day 3 post treatment. Neodecanoyl chloride was considered not irritating


Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data a classification concerning skin irritation (R34; Skin corr/irr Cat1b)
