- Conclusions:
- New Zealand White rabbits (4 males, 4 females) were treated with technical grade 1,2,3-trichloropropane for 24 h under occlusive conditions to assess the skin irritation potential following essentially OECD TG 404. Moderate to severe erythema and edema were seen at all time points in all exposed animals. Based on this results this technical grade 1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed a skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
In the present study Clark 1977 New Zealand White rabbits were treated once with 0.5 mL undiluted 1,2,3 -trichloropropane dermaly under occlusive conditions on shaved skin for 24 h and analysed for skin reactions, body weight development and clinical signs following generally the OECD TG 404. The purity of the test item was only 92 %.
Maximal erythema scores of 4 and edema scores of 3 were reached, not reversible until 7 d post end of treatment.
Based on this result 1,2,3 -trichloropropane would be classified as skin irritant Category 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation) according to CLP (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
New Zealand White rabbits, young adult animals,4 males and 4 female were used for the test. Undiluted test material (0.5 ml) was applied to the shaved backs (intact and abraded) of test animals. The area was wrapped with gauze and occluded for 24 hours with plastic sheeting. All animals were observed at 24, and 72 hours, and at days 7 post-dosing.
Moderate to severe erythema and edema were seen at all time points in all exposed animals. Based on this results this technical grade 1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed a skin irritant. The relevance of this result for pure 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is questionable as the composition of the impurities (total of 8 %) and their influence on the test result is unclear. Therefore this study is deemed unreliable.

- Executive summary:
In the present study ( Monsanto Company, 1985A) male and female New Zealand White rabbits were treated once with 0.5 mL undiluted 1,2,3 -trichloropropane dermaly under occlusive conditions on shaved skin for 24 h and analysed for skin reactions, body weight development and clinical signs following generally the OECD TG 404 in compliance with GLP.
Maximal erythema scores of 2 and edema scores of 1 were reached, completely reversible between 3 to 10 days.
Based on this result 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is not classified regarding skin irritation according to CLP (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
New Zealand White rabbits, young adult animals,5 males and 1 female were used for the test. Undiluted test material (0.5 ml) was applied to the shaved backs of test animals. The area was wrapped with gauze and semi-occluded for 4 hours; while the 24-hour exposure was completely occluded with plastic sheeting. Their backs were gently wiped with dry gauze when the bandages were removed. All animals were observed at 0.5, 24, 24.5, 48 and 72 hours, and at days 7 and 10 post-dosing.
One of 6 rabbits was found dead on day 5. No explanation was reported, although a post mortem examination was conducted. Irritation was mild and transient at both sites (i.e. those semi-occluded for 4 hours and those occluded for 24 hours). Four-hour erythema scores reached a high of 2, clear by day 7 to 10; 4-hour edema scores were generally 1, clear by 72 hours. Twenty-four-hour erythema scores were 2, clear by day 7 to 10; 24-hour edema scores were 1, clear by day 7.
The primary irritation index was 2.5. Individual scores for edema and erythema were recorded from 4.5 hours to 10 days post-dosing.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Draize score system
The primary irritation index is calculated by the addition of erythema scores and oedema scores of all animals at observation time points, divided by the number of animals X the number of time points. - Irritation parameter:
- primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: not reported in detail in SIDS report, probably 24h and 72 h after end of treatment
- Score:
- 1.63
- Max. score:
- 4
- Reversibility:
- other: edema were reversible within 72 h, reversibility of erythema is not clear from the summary in the SIDS report
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Erythema was present through 72 hours in abraded skin sties, and 24 hours in unabraded sites. Edema, which was observed initially and at 24 hours, was clear by 72 hours in both groups. The severity of the response was greater in the abraded test sites. Individual scores ranged from 1-2.5 in intact skin, and from 1-3 in abraded skin sites. Overall PII was 1.63 and was mildly irritating.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The dermal irritating effects of 1,2,3-trichloropropane was tested in rabbits using a recognized scientific procedure and followed recognized GLP procedures. An overall primary irritation index for abraded and shaved skin of 1.63 was observed.
- Executive summary:
In the present study (Shell Development Company, 1980c) male and female New Zealand White rabbits were treated once with 0.5 mL undiluted 1,2,3 -trichloropropane dermaly under occlusive conditions on abraded and shaved skin for 24 h and analysed for skin reactions, body weight development and clinical signs following generally the OECD TG 404 in compliance with GLP.
An overall primary irritation index (PII) for abraded and shaved skin of 1.63 was observed.
Based on this result 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is not classified regarding skin irritation according to CLP (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
Undiluted test material (0.5 ml) was applied to the shaved backs of test animals; six rabbits were further prepared by abrading their backs (deep enough to penetrate the stratum corneum but not to the derma). The area was wrapped with gauze and occluded with clear polyethylene film for 24 hours. After 24 hours the bandages were removed and the test sites were observed for erythema and edema. Their backs were then gently wiped with a moist towel. All animals were again observed at 72 hours, and at day 7.
Erythema was present through 72 hours in abraded skin sites, and 24 hours in unabraded sites. Edema, which was observed initially and at 24 hours, was clear by 72 hours in both groups. The severity of the response was greater in the abraded test sites. Individual scores ranged from 1-2.5 in intact skin, and from 1-3 in abraded skin sites. Overall PII was 1.63.
The authors state the substance as mildly irritating but according to CLP no classification is needed based on this PII.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Some mild irritating effects were caused by the instillation of technical grade 1,2,3-trichloropropane. A slight opacity remained beyond day 7 in one animal (for details see Table 1).
- Other effects:
- Immediately on instillation into the rabbit eyes there was obvious pain.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- 0.1 mL of 1,2,3-trichloropropane (technical grade 92 %) was instilled into the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits in order to test the eye irritation potency of this test item following essentially OECD TG 405. Slight conjunctiva redness and chemosis and slight cornea opacity was seen 24 h post treatment. A slight opacity remained beyond day 7 in one animal. Based on this results this technical grade 1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed a slight eye irritant, nevertheless not fulfilling the criteria for CLP classification.
- Executive summary:
In the present study Clark 1977 New Zealand White rabbits were treated once with 0.1 mL undiluted 1,2,3 -trichloropropane (instillation to one eye) and analysed for eye irritation following generally the OECD TG 405. The purity of the test item was only 92 %. Slight conjunctiva redness and chemosis and slight cornea opacity was seen 24 h post treatment. A slight opacity remained beyond day 7 in one animal. Based on this result 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is not classified as eye irritant according to CLP (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
4 New Zealand White rabbits, young adult animals, were used for the test. Undiluted test material (0.1 ml) was applied to the eye sac of one eye of test animals. All animals were observed at 1 -2 h, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and at days 7 post-dosing and thence every 4 d until the irritation completely subsided.
Slight conjunctiva redness and chemosis and slight cornea opacity was seen 24 h post treatment. A slight opacity remained beyound day 7 in one animal.
The relevance of this result for pure 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is questionable as the compostition of the impurities (total of 8 %) and their influence on the test result is unclear. Therefore this study is deemed unreliable.

- Executive summary:
In the present study ( Monsanto Company, 1985B) 0.1 mL of undiluted 1,2,3 -trichloropropane was instilled once to the eye of male and female New Zealand White rabbits without washing-out and analysed for eye reactions, body weight development and clinical signs following generally the OECD TG 404 in compliance with GLP.
Maximal chemosis scores of 1-3, cornea scores of 2, iris scores of 1 and conjuctivae scores of 1 are reported, that are completely reversible between 3 and 7 days.
As no detailed individual data is available from the SIDS dossier in a conservative approach 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is classified as Category 2 ( Causes serious eye irritation) regarding eye irritation according to CLP (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were tested. Test material (0.1 ml) was placed into the everted lower eyelids of 3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits. Treated eyes of all animals were unwashed. Eyes were evaluated for irritation at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 7 days. Corneas were reexamined at the same time periods with sodium fluorescein. Animals were housed individually.

Additional information
- skin irritation: The classification of the key parameter (not
irritating to the rabbit skin) is based on results of the study Shell
Development Company (1980A) / key (rabbit skin irritation) considered to
be fully reliable and compliant to OECD TG 404 by the SIDS INITIAL
ASSESSMENT REPORT For SIAM 18 - 1,2,3-Trichloropropane as at 2004. The
result is backed up by a similar rated and study (Monsanto
Company (1985A) / (rabbit, skin irritation)).
Both studies agree that there is some slight intermittent irritancy
caused by 1,2,3-trichloropropane that is also reversible within 72 h in
the former and within 10 at the latest in the latter study. In the
former study overall PII was 1.63, while individual scores ranged from
1-2.5 in intact skin, and from 1-3 in abraded skin sites.In the latter
study our-hour erythema scores reached a high of 2, clear by day 7 to
10; 4-hour edema scores were generally 1, clear by 72 hours.
Twenty-four-hour erythema scores were 2, clear by day 7 to 10; 24-hour
edema scores were 1, clear by day 7.
The differing results from Clark 1977, reporting skin irritancy after
application of 1,2,3-trichloropropane to the rabbit skin are very likely
due to the relative high amount of unknown impurities (8 %). Due to the
lack of information on the nature of these impurities the study is
deemed unreliable.
Therefore 1,2,3 -trichloropropane is deemed not to be a skin irritant
which is in-line with the current classification and labelling.
- eye irritation: The classification of the key parameter
(irritation to the rabbit eye) is based on the results of the study
Shell Development Company (1980B) / key (rabbit eye irritation)
considered to be fully reliable and compliant to OECD TG 405 by the SIDS
INITIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT For SIAM 18 - 1,2,3-Trichloropropane as at
2004. The results are backed up by a similar rated and study (Monsanto
Company (1985B) / (rabbit, eye irritation)). Both studies agree
that 1,2,3-trichloropropane is slightly irritating to the rabbit eye,
the former reportinga maximum overall irritation score of 20/110
for unwashed eyes, and 16.3/110 for washed eyes. The latter study states
maximal chemosis scores of 1-3, cornea scores of 2, iris scores of 1 and
conjuctivae scores of 1, which are all completely reversible between 3
and 7 days. The presented values are relatively low and might have
supported a non-classification for eye irritation. But as individual
data is not available and following a conservative approach,
1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed irritating to the eye.
The differing results from Clark 1977, reporting slight eye irritancy
after application of 1,2,3-trichloropropane to the rabbit eye are very
likely due to the relative high amount of unknown impurities (8 %). Due
to the lack of information on the nature of these impurities the study
is deemed unreliable.
- respiratory irritation: no study available.
Effects on eye irritation: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
- skin irritation: Based on the above stated results 1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed not to be irritating to the skin according to CLP as implementation of UN GHS in the EU (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL).
- eye irritation: Based on the above stated results 1,2,3-trichloropropane is deemed irritating to the eye Category 2 (Warning, H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to CLP as implementation of UN GHS in the EU (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL).
- respiratory irritation: No study available
