Executive summary:

In a skin irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1980), 2 Vienna White rabbits were treated with undiluted test substance for 3 min using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 cm² was covered with ca. 1 mL of the liquid test substance. The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. For a final evaluation, the findings from 24 and 48 hours from the raw data were taken into account on a mean basis (erythema score, edema score). The application for 3 min evoked after 3 min strong skin reactions and caused after 24 hours leathery-like necrosis in both animals. Parchment-like necrosis was observed after 8 days. This study is classified as acceptable. It generally satisfies the guideline requirements for OECD 404.

Details on study design:

50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye in 2 animals. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 hours on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. The report describes findings after 1 and 24 hours and at the end of the observation period.

Remarks on result:

other: Reaction observed shortly after instillation.

Already after a few minutes of the test substance instillation, corrosion of the eyes was observed.

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria

Executive summary:

In this acute eye irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1969), the eyes of 2 Vienna White rabbits were exposed by application of 50 µL undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 hours on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours. Overall, the treatment caused corrosion of the eye mucous membranes within 1 hour.Thus, the test substance was graded as corrosive under the conditions of this study. This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the requirements of OECD test guideline 405.

Additional information

Skin irritation

In a skin irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1980), 2 Vienna White rabbits were treated with undiluted test substance for 3 min using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 cm² was covered with ca. 1 mL of the liquid test substance. The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. For a final evaluation, the findings from 24 and 48 hours from the raw data were taken into account on a mean basis (erythema score, edema score). The application for 3 min evoked after 3 min strong skin reactions and caused after 24 hours leathery-like necrosis in both animals. Parchment-like necrosis was observed after 8 days. This study is classified as acceptable. It generally satisfies the guideline requirements for OECD 404.

In a further skin irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1969), 2 Vienna White rabbits were treated with undiluted test substance for 1, 5, 15 min or 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 cm² was covered with ca. 1 mL of the liquid test substance. The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded. For a final evaluation, the findings from 24 hours from the raw data were taken into account on a mean basis (erythema score, edema score). After application for 1 min leathery-like necrosis in both animals was observed after 24 hours. Severe, not relocatable necrosis was observed after 8 days. This study is classified as acceptable. It generally satisfies the guideline requirements for OECD 404.

Based on observed corrosive effects, the substance has to be judged as highly corrosive to skin.

Eye irritation

 

In an acute eye irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1969), the eyes of 2 Vienna White rabbits were exposed by application of 50 µL undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 hours on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours. Overall, the treatment caused corrosion of the eye mucous membranes within 1 hour. Thus, the test substance was graded as corrosive under the conditions of this study. This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the requirements of OECD test guideline 405.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results for skin irritation (corrosive) and for eye irritation, the test substance is classified for skin irritation/corrosion as follows:

 

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP). As a result the substance is considered to be classified for skin or eye irritation under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the sixth time in Regulation (EC) No 605/2014, as follows:

Cat. 1A, H314, causes severe skin burns and eye damage; Cat. 1, H318, causes serious eye damage.
