Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Skin irritation / corrosion

Reference
Endpoint:
skin irritation / corrosion, other
Remarks:
in vivo
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study

GLP compliance:
no
Irritation parameter:

Irritation parameter:
edema score
Basis:

Max. score:
0
Reversibility:
fully reversible
Remarks on result:
other: all tested substances
Irritant / corrosive response data:
No dermal irritation in any of the rabbits during the study. Test sites treated with test items 1, 2 and 3 were stained by the test substance.
Other effects:
No clinical signs, no body weight loss.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the criteria specified by Directive 67/548/EC and subsequent regulations titanium dioxide is not a skin irritant and therefore no classification is required. Based on these results, it is predicted that the structural analogue Titanium oxide (Ti3O5) is also not a skin irritant.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance produced conjunctival redness (score of 1 or 2) in the treated eye of all three rabbits. Fluorescein stain examinations were negative for corneal injury. The treated eyes of the rabbits were normal by 24 or 48 hours after instillation of the test substance.
Other effects:
No clinical signs were observed, and no body weight loss occurred.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Titanium dioxide produced conjunctival redness (score of 1 or 2) in the treated eye of all three rabbits. Fluorescein stain examinations were negative for corneal injury. The treated eyes of the rabbits were normal by 24 or 48 hours after instillation of the test substance. Based on these results, it is predicted that the structural analogue Titanium oxide (Ti3O5) is also not irritating to the eye.
