Description of key information

Skin irritation

1,9-Nonanediol was found to be devoid of primary skin irritation to the rabbit.

In a GLP, OECD 404 comparable study, 6 young adult New Zealand rabbits (3/sex), were exposed via the dermal by direct application. 0.5 g of test article moistened with distilled water and applied to pre-shaved abraded and non-abraded sites (each site covering 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm). A gauze pad covered the test site and was secured in place with an adhesive dressing (occlusive) and left for 24 h. The observation period was 72 h post removal. Irritation was scored using the Draize scheme.

No erythema or oedema were observed in any of the treated animals at 24 and 72 h after removal of the dressing. No dermal responses were apparent in any other animal.

 

Eye irritation

In a standard guideline (OECD 405 comparable) and GLP compliant study in rabbits, 1,9-Nonanediol (45 mg) was instilled initially into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 young adult female New Zealand White rabbits. Eye lids were held to together for ~1 second to prevent loss of material. The other eye served as a control. The eyes remained unwashed. The observation period was 7 days. Irritation was scored using the Draize scheme. 

1,9-Nonanediol caused slight conjunctival redness in all 3 animals at the 1 hour time point only. No corneal or iridial irritation was observed. Reactions had completely resolved by day 1 in all animals.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema (intact skin): No erythema was observed in any of the animals treated.
Oedema (intact skin): No oedema was observed in any of the animals treated.
Other effects:
Several deficiencies from the standard OECD 404 (exposure time 24 hours, rather than 4 hours, test article was applied under an occlusive dressing, rather than a semi-occlusive dressing). The data however represent a worst case, and are considered sufficient in addressing the endpoint
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, 1,9-Nonanediol was deemed to be non-irritant or non-corrosive to the skin, according to the criteria of Draize. Therefore, according to Annex I Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, 1,9 -Nonanediol has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation and is unclassified.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Comparison with the CLP criteria

1,9 -Nonanediol was found to be of devoid of primary skin irritation in the rabbit. The animal model used involved application of the test article to pre-shaved abraded and non-abraded sites with an occlusive dressing applied for 24 h. Several deficiencies from the standard OECD 404 are noted; the data however represent a worst case, and are considered sufficient in addressing the endpoint. Therefore, 1,9 -Nonanediol does not meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant.

 

In the unwashed eyes, there were no corneal or iridal changes in any animal. Conjunctival redness was observed in 3/3 animals at the 1 h time point. All effects had resolved by 24 h and therefore, 1,9 -Nonanediol does not meet the criteria for classification as an eye irritant. 

Based on the results of this study, 1,9-Nonanediol was deemed to be non-irritant or non-corrosive to the skin, according to the criteria of Draize. Therefore, according to Annex I Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, 1,9 -Nonanediol has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation and is unclassified.

 

Based on the results of this study, 1,9-Nonanediol was deemed to be non-irritant or non-corrosive to the eye, according to the criteria of Draize. Therefore, according to Annex I for Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, 1,9-Nonanediol has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation and is unclassified.
