Test material

Specific details on test material used for the study:
Read across data is presented from the structurally related substance, 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1. This substance bears a close similarity to 1,1''-isopropylidenediferrocene, CAS Number 12609-95-9, EC Number 235-719-0, the distinction being that the alkyl bridging functionality between the two ferrocene moieties is an octyl derivative as opposed to an isopropyl derivative.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to OECD 404, 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane is slightly irritating to skin. It is not classifed for skin irritant according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation/corrosion potential of 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 404.

An OECD 404 study conducted to GLP in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results was performed on 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1.

The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

This substance is considered to be sufficiently close in structural integrity to 1,1''-isopropylidenediferrocene, CAS Number 12609-95-9, EC Number 235-719-0 so as to justify valid read across.

Under the conditions of the study 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane is slightly irritating to skin. It is not classifed for skin irritant according to GHS criteria.
