Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
EU criteria.
Conclusions:
Under test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-irritating.
Executive summary:

A study was performed on the test item to investigate its possible irritation or corrosion on rabbits, according to the method of Draize (1944), similar to OECD Guideline 404 (no GLP). Six New Zealand White rabbits (3 males, 3 females) were applied 0.5 ml of test item on 2"x2" clipped (intact) or abraded areas of skin, covered with occlusive dressing during 24h. Then, the wrapping and the test item were removed, and the sites were individually examined and scored for erythema and edema at 24 and 72h. The mean values were used to determine the final irritation indices. Under test conditions, the test item was found to be non-irritating to the skin (irritation score = 0.0).

SCORING SYSTEM: Observations of injuries were made on the cornea, iris and the bulbar and palpebral conjunctivae. Numerical scores were assigned to lesions observed according to the Draize standard scoring system. In this system, the injuries to the cornea and iris account for approximately 80% of the total score; these structures are purposely weighted because of their vital role in the vision. The maximum score is the sum of all scores obtained for the cornea, iris, and conjunctivae.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-held lenses.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
EU criteria
Conclusions:
Under test conditions, the test substance is found to be not irritating.
Executive summary:

A study to investigate possible irritation or corrosion of the test substance on the eyes of rabbits was performed according to Draize (1944), similar to OECD Guideline 405 (no GLP). The right eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits (3 males, 3 females) received single application of 0.1ml test item, while the left eye was used as a control. The treated eyes of all rabbits remained unwashed for 24h, readings were made using hand-held lenses 1, 2, 3 and up to 7 days after. Under test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-irritating to the eyes.

Six New Zealand White rabbits were applied 0.5 ml of test item on 2"x2" clipped or abraded areas of skin, covered with occlusive dressing during 24h. Then, the wrapping and the test item were removed, and the sites were individually examined and scored for erythema and edema at 24 and 72h. The test item was not irritating to the skin (irritation score = 0.0).

- Eye irritation: Key study. Method according to Draize (1944), similar to OECD Guideline 405 (no GLP).

The treated eyes of all rabbits remained unwashed for 24h, readings were made using hand-held lenses 1, 2, 3 and up to 7 days after. Under test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-irritating to the eyes (72h irritation score = 0).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation: Based on available data (irritation score 0 in vivo), the substance is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Eye irritation: Based on available data (irritation score 0 in vivo), the substance is not classified as causing serious eye damage according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
