Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test material is not classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and according to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of test material moistened with water was dermally applied on the clipped skin of the dorsal surface of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours.

Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after the removal of the patch.

Slight erythema was observed 1 hour following patch removal. The individual scores calculated over all the animals tested within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema.

Under the test conditions, test material is not classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and according to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and according the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 New Zealand White Rabbit. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale. 

Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment.

All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.

The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each animals within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.7/0.7/0.7 for redness, 0.0/0.0/0.7 for chemosis and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for discharge, iris and corneal lesions.

 

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.

Additional information

Skin irritation/Corrosion

A key in vivo study was identified (Safepharm, 2004, rel. 1). This dermal irritation study was performed according to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP. The mean scores calculated for each rabbits within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema. The test material does not require classification for skin irritation.

Eye irritation:

A key in vivo study was identified (Safepharm, 2004, rel. 1). This eye irritation study was performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP. Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment. However, no signs of ocular irritation were apparent in any animal at all subsequent examinations. The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each animals within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.7/0.7/0.7 for redness, 0.0/0.0/0.7 for chemosis and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for discharge, iris and corneal lesions. The test material does not require classification for eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonized classification:

The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Self-classification:

Skin irritation:

Based on the available information, no additional self-classification is proposed regarding skin irritation according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and according to the GHS.

Eye irritation:

Based on the available information, no additional self-classification is proposed regarding eye irritation according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and according to the GHS.

Respiratory irritation:

No data was available, however the substance not being classified for skin and eye irritation, no classification is expected for respiratory irritation.
