- Number of animals:
- 1 male and 2 females
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: on the day before the test, each of a group of three rabbits was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/ flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study. Test item was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin.
- Type of wrap if used: the patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximate size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm). To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water followed by diethyl ether.
- Time after start of exposure: four hours after application the corset and patches were removed.
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined.
SCORING SYSTEM
The test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the following scale from Draize J.H. (1959) Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics".
Erythema and eschar formation:
No eryrhema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined oedema (area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimeter) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4
The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72-hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by 6 to give the primary irritation index of the test material. The test material was classified according to the following scheme:
Non-irritant, primary irritation index 0
Mild irritant, primary irritation index >0 - 2
Moderate irritant > 2 - 5
Severe irritant > 5 - 8 - Irritation parameter:
- erythema score
- Basis:
- animal: 3/3
- Time point:
- 24/48/72 h
- Score:
- < 2.3
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible within: 72 hrs
- Irritation parameter:
- edema score
- Basis:
- animal: 3/3
- Time point:
- 24/48/72 h
- Score:
- < 2.3
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible within: 48 hrs
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Faint purple-coloured staining caused by the test material was commonly noted during the study. This did not prevent accurate evaluation of skin responses.
Very slight erythema was noted at two treated skin sites one hour after patch removal, at all treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation and at two treated skin sites at the 48-hour observation.
Very slight oedema was confined to two treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation.
No skin irritation was noted 72 hours after treatment. - Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Mild irritant
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 404 'Acute Dermal Irritation/Comosion' referenced as Method B4 in Commission Directive 84/449/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Di recti ve 67/548/EEC).
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight oedema. No skin irritation was noted 72 hours after treatment. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.8 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
Conclusion
Mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions. All the reactions were fully reversibke within 72 hours.
Thus, the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Additional information
SKIN IRRITATION
A sheet reporting the test results of an old experiment conducted on the test item is available; however, due to the fact that details on testing procedures and results are lacking, a reliability cannot be assiged. The result is here mentioned for completeness sake. The substance was indicated as not skin irritating, according to ETAD score system (reference 1976).
In order to assess the skin irritation potential toxicity of Acid Green 025, the available information on the structural analogous Similar Substance 02 have been taken into consideration; the read across approach can be considered as appropriate and suitable to assess the property under investigation (details about the approach are reported into the IUCLID section 13).
The study conducted with Similar Substance 02, was performed in New Zealand White rabbit; the method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines 404. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight oedema. No skin irritation was noted 72 hours after treatment. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.8 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
EYE IRRITATION
The eye irritation potential of Acid Green 025 was investigated according to thhe method and procedures outlined into the OECD guideline 405. 0.1 ml (weight 54 mg) of test item was placed into the right eye of each rabbit. The ocular reactions were scored by the method described by Draize J.H., 1959 Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics". No evidence of corneal opacity was noted during the study period. Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eye one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctivitis continued to be noted on day one in one treated eye; the remaining two treated eyes were normal. All treated eyes were normal on day two.
A sheet reporting the test results of an old experiment conducted on the test item is available; however, due to the fact that details on testing procedures and results are lacking, a reliability cannot be assiged. The result is here mentioned for completeness sake. The substance was indicated as slightly eye irritating, according to ETAD score system (reference 1976).
In addition, the available data on structural analogous Similar Substance 01 have also been taken into consideration to comfirm the study outcomes. The read across approach can be considered as appropriate and suitable to assess the property under investigation (details about the approach are reported into the IUCLID section 13).
Three rabbits were used to test the eye irritation potential of the Similar Substance 01, in accordance with the OECD guideline 405. 0.1 g of the undiluted test material were placed into the conjunctival sac. Under the conditions of the experiment, the test item was found to cause a primary irritation score of 1.9 when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.
Corneal opacity was observed in two animals duning the test. Anlmal no. 458 (male) showed sllght opacity from 1 to 48 hours, anirnal no. 459 (female) showed diffuse opacity from 1 to 24 hours after test article application. The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and chemosis, in all the tested animals. all the reactions were fully reversible within 72 hours.
REFERENCE
See attachment.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 3.2 Skin corrosion/irritation section, skin irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4 hours.
Mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal were lower than 2.3 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions. All the reactions were fully reversibke within 72 hours.
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, serious eye damage means the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test substance, which is not fully reversible within 21 days of application.
In all the available experiments, the mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and oedema, in all the animals tested.
In conclusion, the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified for the eye/skin irritation, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
