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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, 6 young adult New Zealand rabbits (3/sex), were exposedviathe 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.

 

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.
