Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Regarding the results of the study, the test substance caused irreversible damage to the eyes.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was conducted following methods reported in Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.42. The test substance (100 µL) was instilled into one eye of 3 rabbits. The other untreated eye served as control. Effects were recorded for up to 8 days after administration. The test substance caused a light corneal opacity, iritis, strong erythema and edema of the conjunctivae and increased lacrimation. The test substance clear irritation effects at the eye were only partly reversible within 8 days.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irreversible damage)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

In a Draize test following a standard test protocol, shaved skin areas of three New Zealand White rabbits received 500 mg of the test substance (purity unknown) in water for 24 hours. During the relevant reading period of 24 -72 hours, the mean erythema score was 2.8 and the mean edema score was 2.3 (scoring system according to the OECD/Draize scheme). The observation period was finished after the 72 hour reading since all animals are were dead because of haematuria, splenic congestion, bloody intestine lymph nodes, petechia at the thymus, soaked liver – all together a strong substance-related toxicity. Under the conditions of the test, the test substance was considered as irritant to the skin.

 

In a study following Fed. Reg. protocol, 100 mg of the unchanged test substance (purity unknown) was administered to the eyes of three New Zealand White rabbits; the eyes were not rinsed. During the relevant reading period 24 -72 hours, the overall scores for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctivae redness and chemosis were 1.0, 1.0, 3.0 and 4.0, respectively (according to the OECD/Draize scheme). Discharge was also observed (mean score 3.0). Effects were only partly reversible during the observation period; therefore, the test substance was considered as causing serious damage to the eyes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on effects observed in the skin and eye irritation studies, the test substance is classified for skin and eye irritation as Cat 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation) and Cat 1 (H318: Causes serious eye damage), respectively according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
