- Executive summary:
Six rabbits (three males and three females) were used to test the skin irritation potential of the substance. The abraded and intact skin of rabbits was treated with 1.0 ml of test item, which was used diluted in 50 % DMSO. The irritation was measured by patch test technique on the intact skin. After 4 hours, the patches were removed and the resulting reactions were evaluated on the basis of the code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41.
None of the animals showed any observable response to treatment throughout the 72 hours observation period.
The irritation score was 0.0 and the substance has been judged to be non irritating, according to the ETAD-Subcommittee for Toxicology.
Conclusion
The scoring system criteria used to record the hardness of the skin reactions followed in the current test are the same as those reported into the OECD guideline, therefore it is possible to re-evaluate the results in accordance with the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
None of the animals showed any observable response to treatment throughout the 72 hours observation period, thus it can be concluded that the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

- Executive summary:
Nine rabbits were used to test the eye irritation potential of the substance. 100 mg of the undiluted test material were placed into the conjunctival sac. The eyes were inspected after 30 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Reading scores for ocular lesions were made according to the recommendations of the USA Food and Drug officials, published in 1959 (Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics).

Conclusion
Although the criteria for the evaluation of the eye irritation potential followed in the test are different from those reported into the OECD guideline, the scoring system is the same. Because the raw tables are included into the study report, it is possible to re-evaluate the results according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and chemosis, in all the tested animals, thus the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as eye irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Additional information
SKIN IRRITATION
Three male and three female rabbits were used to test the skin irritation potential of the substance. The abraded and intact skin of rabbits was treated with 1.0 ml of test item, which was used diluted in 50 % DMSO. The irritation was measured by patch test technique on the intact skin and the resulting reactions were evaluated on the basis of the code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41. None of the animals showed any observable response to treatment throughout the 72 hours observation period. The irritation score was 0.0 and the substance has been judged to be non irritating, according to the ETAD-Subcommittee for Toxicology.
EYE IRRITATION
Nine rabbits were used to test the eye irritation potential of the substance. 100 mg of the undiluted test material were placed into the conjunctival sac. Reading scores for ocular lesions were made according to the recommendations of the USA Food and Drug officials, published in 1959 (Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics). The irritation score resulted to be 0.67. The substance can be considered as non irritating, according to the ETAD-Subcommittee for Toxicology.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 3.2 Skin corrosion/irritation section, skin irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4 hours.
In the available experiment, the mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions.
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, serious eye damage means the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test substance, which is not fully reversible within 21 days of application.
The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and oedema, in at least two of three tested animals.
In conclusion, the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified for the eye/skin irritation, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
