Executive summary:

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the ocular irritation potential of the test chemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5). The studies are as mentioned below:

 

An eye irritation study was conducted by authoritative database to determine the adverse effects caused by the read across chemical.When the undiluted chemical was instilled into the eyes of each rabbit, the chemical producedreddening and swelling of the conjunctiva for a short time. Only a few animals showed slight opacity of the cornea and this was reversible after 72 hours (as a rule).Since the observed effects were not persisted during the observation period, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.

 

An ocular irritation study of another read across chemical was conducted on rabbits to determine its irritation potential.About 100 mg of test chemical was instilled into the conjunctival sac of eyes of each rabbit (rinsing after 30 sec, 5 min, 24 h or no rinsing) which causedreddening, conjunctival swelling and secretions of varied intensity. The effects were altogether weak and reversible within 7 days, even if the eye had not been rinsed.Since the observed effects were cleared within 7 days, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.

 

Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) and its structurally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is not able to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5)to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pigs and rabbits for target chemical2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) and its structurally similar read across substanceswhich have beensummarized as below;

 

The skin irritation study of test chemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) was reported by safety assessment report on guinea pigs to observe its irritation efficacy. When the chemical was applied on skin of guinea pigs for 24 hours, slight irritation was observed in treated guinea pigs. Hence the test chemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) was considered to be irritating to the skin of guinea pigs.

 

The above result was supported by the skin irritation study of similar read across chemical on skin of rabbits. About 500mg of test chemical was applied on the intact or abraded skin of rabbits and observed for skin reactions. After 24 hours the chemical caused erythema and oedema in all animals and after 72 hours erythema was seen in only 3 animals. On the basis of observed effects, the test chemical was considered as irritating to the skin.

 

The above results were further supported by the skin irritation study of another read across chemical conducted on guinea pigs. The test chemical was moistened with water and applied on skin of guinea pigs under occlusive condition. The animals were observed for skin irritation after 24 hours. The chemical caused moderate irritation on treated guinea pigs. Hence the chemical was considered to be irritating to the skin of guinea pigs.

 

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,it can be concluded that thechemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) is able to cause skin irritation and considered as irritating.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2 (irritant)”.

Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5)  and its structurally and functionally similar read across substanceswere observed in various studies. The results obtained from these studies indicate that the chemical  is likely to cause skin irritation but unable to cause eye irritation. Hence 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No: 634-93-5) can be classified under the category “Category 2 (irritant)” for skin and “Not Classified” for eye as per CLP.
