Principles of method if other than guideline:

The acute eye irritation test was determined on 9 young adult albino rabbits, selected from healthy, acclimated animals. The test material at the level of 0,1 ml or 0.1 g was applied to the right eye of each animal. The method employed was patterned after the procedure described in 16 CFR 1500.42.

Additional information

Skin irritation / Corrosion.

Two studies were evaluated on this endpoint. In these, the substance was tested for primary dermal irritation and corrosiveness. Results indicate that has a potential for slight dermal irritation, although effects were reversible within 72 hours. It is not a dermal corrosive. No risk phrase or classification is required.

Eye irritation.

One study is available for this endpoint. The substance was tested for acute irritation and was found not to be an irritant to the rabbit eye when not followed by a washout or followed by a washout 4 seconds after instillation of the test material. No ocular effects were noted in the study. No classification is applicable.

Respiratory irritation was not assessed; however no effects on the animals were noted in any associated studies.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 2 or 3 according to the Klimish et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were not conducted to GLP or in compliance with agreed protocols. Some of the reports do not detail a specific method; however each documents dose levels and responses in detail, so is deemed appropriate for use in the support of a formal registration.  Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

Justification for classification or non classification

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) or the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008).
