Description of key information

In a range finding study with rabbits the skin irritation was determined at a scaling of 5 out of 10. 
The test substance applied undiluted on abraded skin for 24 hours under occlusion was moderately irritating.
The substance was tested in 4% dilution in petrolatum with human volunteers and did not produce irritation after 48 hour occlusion.

Executive summary:

A eye irritating study was conducted with albino rabbits. The eye irritation was rated 9 out of 20 points. A score of >5 was indicated as severe injury. Hence under the conditions of this study the substance is considered to be irritating to eyes.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Additional information

Applying a worst case approach and using the study with the most severe result, the substance is hereby classified as irritant.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Data considered to be reliable for assessment

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Data considered to be reliable for assessment

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data and taking the worst case approach into account the substance has to be classified as seriously irritant to eyes and irritant to skin.
