Description of key information

In Compliance with the OECD Guidelines 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) test:

The application of 0.5 ml of the substance UG batch 97302300 for 4 hours under a semi-occlusive patch to the skin of 3 rabbits, produced, one hour after patch removal, a slight erythema in 1 animal and a slight oedema in another one. The third rabbit did flot exhibit any cutaneous reaction. During the 72 following hours, irritation reactions had totally disappeared.

According to the 67/548/EEC order classification, the substance UG batch 97302300 is unclassified among the substances irritating to skin.




 In Compliance with the OECD Guidelines 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion) test:

The instillation of the substance UG - batch 97302300 at the dose of 0.1 ml into the eye of three rabbits, produced one hour after instillation, in ail the animals, the outbreak of diffuse purple enanthemae with important lacrimations and chemosis. A congestion ofthe iris was also noted in the 3 animals and a slight and partial opacification of the cornea was found in two of them.24 hours afier instillation, these reactions were maintained and severe cornea lesions werc evidenced in the three rabbits. A pannus noted on the cornea of two rabbits on D9 was maintained till D19 for one of them and D21 for the second one. The reversibility of the ocular reactions was flot complete at the end ofthe 21-day-observation period in two of the animals.

According to the 67/548/EEC order classification the substance UG batch 97302300 is classified among the substances irritating to eyes (with important ocular lesions).

The test material is applied under a semi-occlusive patch to the skin of the 3 rabbits at the dose of 0.5 g!rabbit according to the foilowing procedure
• 0.5 mi ofthe test material (previously pounded in a mostar) are appiied to the ciipped skin, then covered with a gauze (2.5 x 2.5 cm) heid in place by means of a 5 x 5 cm wide “Micropore” fastening tape. Then the animais trunk is wrapped with a 10 cm wide stretch tape (varicose vein tape) fastened by adhesive tape of the same width, place in such a way so as flot to hinder respiratory movements.
• the rabbits are returned to their cages for 4 hours at the end of which the dressing and the gauze patch are removed. Then, residuai test substance is removed, using absorbent paper moistened with distiiled water.

Details on study design:
After checking that the rabbit has healthy, defect-free eyes, the test material is placed at a dose of 0.1 ml or 0.1 g if test substance is pasty or solid in the conjunctival sac of the right eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball.
The lids are then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the material.
The other eye, which remains untreated, serves as a control.
Afler a one hour period of contention, the animal is returned to its individual cage.
In this study, the test substance is used as such at the dose of 0.1 mI/eye (after pounding it in a mortar).

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Unclassified for Skin Irritation:

Based on results from the experimental study under a semi-occlusive patch to the skin of the 3 rabbits at the dose of 0.5 g rabbit in compliance with the OECD Guidelines 404 Acute dermal Irritation/Corrosion:

According to the 67/548/EEC order classification, the substance UG batch 97302300 is unclassified among the substances irritating to skin.



Classified as Eye Irritating (with important ocular lessions):

Based on the results from the experimental study done under the OECD Guidline on the eye irritation of the test item, the eversibility of the ocular reactions was flot complete at the end of the 21-day-observation period in only two of the animals.

According to the 67/548/EEC order classification the substance UG batch 97302300 is classified among the substances irritating to eyes (with important ocular lesions).
