Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the mean scores calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for each animal were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema.
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study performed similarly to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP, 0.5 mL of undiluted ST 06 C 93 was dermally applied on the shaved skin of the dorsal surface of the trunk of 3 females 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.

The mean scores calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for each animal were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema.

One hour after patch removal, a well-defined erythema was noted at the treated sites on 2 animals. This response was accompanied by a barely perceptible oedema in one animal. Very slight oedema was also apparent in the third rabbit at this time. No signs of irritation were observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours.

 

Therefore, ST 06 C 93 does not require a classification as irritant to the skin according to the the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and 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:
The calculated mean individual score for each individual lesion within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for chemosis, redness, discharge, iris and corneal lesions
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted ST 06 C 93 was instilled into the right eye of 3 female New Zealand White Rabbits. 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. 

Slight conjunctival hyperaemia in all 3 animals one hour after dosing, and, in 2 animals, a slight discharge from the treated eye were the only signs of irritation observed during the study.

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

 

Under the test conditions, ST 06 C 93 is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the GHS.

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

Additional information

Skin irritation:

A key study was identified (Toxicol, 1994, rel. 1). This dermal irritation study was performed similarly to the OECD guideline No. 404, and in compliance with GLP. The mean individual scores calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.0/0.0 for oedema. One hour after patch removal, a well-defined erythema was noted at the treated sites on 2 animals. This response was accompanied by a barely perceptible oedema in one animal. Very slight oedema was also apparent in the third rabbit at this time. No signs of irritation were observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours. The test material does not require classification for skin irritation.

Eye irritation:

A key study was identified (Toxicol, 1994, rel. 1). This eye irritation study was performed similarly to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP. Slight conjunctival hyperaemia in all 3 animals one hour after dosing, and, in 2 animals, a slight discharge from the treated eye were the only signs of irritation observed during the study. The calculated mean individual score for each individual lesion within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for chemosis, redness, discharge, iris and corneal lesions. The test material does not require classification for eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonised classification:

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

Self-classification:

Based on the available data no self-classification is proposed regarding both skin and eye irritation according to the CLP and to the GHS.

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