- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal skin, an approximately 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm area
- Type of wrap if used: a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch with the test substance was applied to the skin of the rabbit. The gauze patch was covered by a plastic film, which was fixed with adhesive tapes; then finally an acrylastic band (occlusive) was applied. During the 4-hour exposure the animals were kept in special boxes to ensure the wrapping did not move.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No irritation effects were observed 1 hour after exposure ended. At the 24-hour reading time point, 3/5 animals had very slight erythema and edema. By the 48-hour reading time point, the severity had increased to well-defined erythema in 2/5 animals, while 2/5 had very slight erythema. 2 of these rabbits also had very slight edema, which was still present at the 72-hour reading time point. Very slight to well-defined erythema persisted in 3/5 rabbits until 72 hours after exposure. All the irritation effects had cleared completely within 7 days.

Additional information
Read across justification
There are no adequate study data on the skin and eye irritation effects of Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1). The assessment was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Skin irritation
CAS 95912-88-2
In a study according to OECD guideline 404 (WoE, 1987) with Fatty acids, C16-18, isotridecyl esters only slight oedema and slight to moderate erythema (Draize scoring system) was reported in 5 rabbits after 4 hours of exposure to 0.5 mL of the unchanged liquid test substance under occlusive conditions. The erythema and oedema were fully reversible within 7 days. No indication of skin irritation was found.
CAS 3687-46-5
A skin irritation study equivalent to OECD guideline 404 (WoE, 1994) was performed with Decyl oleate (CAS 3687-46-5). 0.5 mL of the liquid test substance was applied to the shaved skin of 3 male rabbits for 4 hours of exposure under semi-occlusive conditions. Only slight erythema and edema was seen at the 48 and 72 hour readings. All findings were fully reversible within 5 days. No indication of irritation to skin was found for the test substance.
CAS 26399-02-0
A skin irritation study equivalent to OECD guideline 404 (WoE, 1991) was performed with 2-ethylhexyl oleate (CAS 26399-02-0). 0.5 mL of the liquid test substance was applied to the skin of 3 rabbits for 4 hours of exposure under occlusive conditions. Slight erythema and edema was seen in only one out of 3 animals at the 24 hour readings. All findings were fully reversible within 48 hours. No indication of irritation to skin was found for the test substance.
Eye irritation
CAS 95912-88-2
A study according to OECD guideline 405 (WoE, 1987) was done with Fatty acids, C16-18, isotridecyl esters. No eye irritation was seen after single instillation of 0.1 ml unchanged test substance without washing to one eye of 4 rabbits. Draize scores for cornea opacity, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis scores were 0 at the 24, 48, and 72 hour readings in all animals. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance showed no eye irritating potential.
CAS 3687-46-5
Hexadecanoic acid, isooctadecyl ester (CAS 72576-80-8) was examined for its eye irritation potential in a GLP study performed according to OECD guideline 405 (WoE, 1999). 0.1 mL of unchanged liquid test substance was instilled into one eye of 3 rabbits. The animals were observed for 72 hours and scoring according to Draize was performed 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after application. At the 24-hour reading time point 3/3 rabbits had slightly reddened conjunctivae (score 1), which was fully reversible within 48 hours. No other eye irritation effects were observed in any rabbit at any time point. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance showed no eye irritating potential.
CAS 91031-48-0
Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 91031-48-0) was examined for its eye irritation potential in a study performed similar to OECD guideline 405 (WoE, 1978). 0.05 mL of unchanged liquid test substance was instilled into one eye of 2 rabbits. The animals were observed for 24 hours and scoring according to Draize was performed 2, 6, and 24 hours after instillation. One animal showed mild conjunctival erythema 2 hours after instillation, which disapperaed completely within 6 hours. At the 24-hour reading no eye irritation effects were seen in any of the 3 rabbits.
Overall conclusion for skin and eye irritation
The available data for analogue read across substances indicate absence of any skin or eye irritation potential. Therefore, no skin or eye irritation potential is anticipated for the target substance Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Fatty acids, C16-18, isononyl esters (CAS 91031-57-1), data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
The available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
