- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 10 days
- Number of animals:
- 1 male and 2 females
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: on the day of treatment, test item was placed on a surgical gauze patch (ca.4 cm × 4 cm). This gauze patch was applied to the intact skin of the clipped area.
- Type of wrap if used: the patch was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with tape.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site so that any reactions (erythema) were clearly visible at that time.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours.
OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
- skin reaction: assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69|EEC, July 31, 1992 approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 and 10 days after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test item. To allow further examination of the test sites animal Nos. 58 and 59 were re-clipped on completion of the 48-hour examination. lf evident, corrosive or staining properties of the test item were described and recorded.
- Viability/Mortality: daily from acclimatization of the animals to the termination of test.
- Clinical signs: daily from acclimatization of the animals to the termination of test.
- Body weights: at start of acclimatization, on the day of application and at termination of observation.
SCORING SYSTEM
To evaluate the irritation of the test item the mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24,48 and72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. An animal is positive when the mean score is 2 or greater. The test is positive for irritation when at least 2 animals are positive for the same endpoint (erythema/eschar or oedema).
Grading of skin reactions
ERYTHEMA AND ESCHAR FORMATION
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) or eschar formation (injuries in depth preventing erythema) reading 4
OEDEMA FORMATION
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (edges raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than i mm and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4 - Irritation parameter:
- erythema score
- Basis:
- animal: 3/3
- Time point:
- 24/48/72 h
- Score:
- < 2.3
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Irritation parameter:
- edema score
- Basis:
- animal: 3/3
- Time point:
- 24/48/72 h
- Score:
- < 2.3
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The mean erythema/eschar score and the mean oedema score of the three animals were 0.00. No erythema and no swelling (oedema) was noted in any animal at any time.
Neither alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.
COLORATION
Slight yellow staining produced by the test item of the treated skin was observed in all animals from the 1-hour reading up to 48 hours after treatment. Slight yellow staining was still evident in two animals up to the 72-hour examination and persisted in one animal up to 7 days after treatment. - Other effects:
- VIABILITY/MORTALITY/CLINICAL SIGNS
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.
BODY WEIGHTS
The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability. - Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- Not irritating
- Executive summary:
The primary skin irritation potential of the substance was investigated according to OECD guideline 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g to the intact left flank of each of three oung adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 and 10 days after removal of the dressing.
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean erythema/eschar score and the mean oedema score of the three animals were 0.00. The application of test item to the skin resulted in no signs of irritation.
However, yellow staining produced by the test item was present in all animals. This effect was reversible and was no longer evident 10 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no other clinical signs of test item related effects were observed.
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, thus the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).

To determine the irritation index, the scores of the cornea (a), the iris (b) and the conjunctiva (c) were added for each rabbit at the respective reading time. From the values of all rabbits the mean value was formed at the respective reading time. The highest index determined at one of the readings was used for the classification according to the following verbal evaluation classes:
0 - 10 non irritant
11 - 25 slightly irritant
26 - 56 moderately irritant

- Executive summary:
The test substance eye irritation potential was assayed in 6 rabbits. The test was carried out in accordance with FDA guideline, federal register 38, No. 187, 27.9.1973, p 27019. 100 mg of the substance powder-form (mixed with 0.25 ml of polyethyene glycol 400) were instilled into the conjunctival sac of the eye. After 24 hours, eyes were rinsed with physiological saline. The rabbits were examined at 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test compound.
The highest irritation index resulted to be 10 after 1 hour, thus substance can be considered as not eye irritating.

Additional information
SKIN IRRITATION
The skin irritation potential was investigated in several experiments, according to OECD guideline 404.
In all cases, only slight irritating effects were seen, which were recorded after observation period. Yellow/green staining of the treated skin was observed. This effect was reversible and was no longer evident 10 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no other clinical signs of test item related effects were observed.
The additional supporting study reports comparable results; the test was carried out according to the FDA guideline 1500.41, federal register 38, No. 187, 27.9.1973, p 27019. Two test sites of the back were used on each rabbit; before the application of the test compound, one hand site was abraded. Primary irritation index resulted to be 0.8, thus the substance was considered as slighlty irritating.
EYE IRRITATION
Only one experiment conducted with Fluorescent Brightener 219 is available on the eye irritation potential. The experiment was conducted in 6 rabbits, in accordance with FDA guideline, federal register 38, No. 187, 27.9.1973, p 27019. The highest irritation index resulted to be 10 after 1 hour, thus substance was judged to be not eye irritating.
In order to support the study outcomes, the available data on the one of the substance's constituents (i.e. constituent 02) have also been taken into conderation.
The study was performed with the New Zealand White rabbit, in accordance with OECD guideline 405 and EU Method B.5. A single application of 0.1 ml (67.3 mg) of the test material was administered to the non irrigated eye of three rabbits. The Maximum Group Mean Score was 4.1 and the related classification was as mild irritant (class 4 on a 1 -8 SCALE).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC 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, in all the experiments available. Thus, the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
According to the CLP Regulation (EC 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.
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 of the three tested animals. All the reactions resulted to be fully reversible withing 72 hours. Therefore, the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as eye irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
