Details on study design:
On the day before the test each of a group of three rabbits was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 500 mg of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 * 2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape.
Four hours after application the patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed with tap water.
Approximately 30-60 min following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.

Study design

The purpose of this GLP study performed according to OECD GL 404 was to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbits.

Results

The application of the test material to the intact skin produced no significant irritation.

Conclusion

The test material gave no indication for skin irritation in rabbits.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material gave no indication for skin irritation in rabbits.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and is fully compliant with OECD GL 404. Based on the results of this study it was concluded that the test item is not irritant to the skin of rabbits.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Study design

The purpose of this GLP study performed according to OECD GL 405 was to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test item in New Zealand White rabbits.

Results

The application of the test material caused an eye irritation. The observed effects were reversible within 7 days after application.

Conclusion

Based on the obtained results the test item can be classified as eye irritant.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The application of the test material caused an eye irritation. The observed effects were reversible within 7 days after application.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and is fully compliant with OECD GL 405. The application of the test material caused an eye irritation in rabbits and the observed effects were reversible within 7 days after application. Therefore, the test item can be classified as eye irritant.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the provided information there is no need for classification forskin irritationaccording to the EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, as amended for the 10th time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.

Based on the provided information the test item is classified for eye irritation category 2 and labelled with H319 according to the EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification,Lab elling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, as amended for the 10th time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776. In accordance with UN GHS Rev. 7 (2017), the test item is considered midly irritating to eyes (Category 2B).
