Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1989
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The source study was conducted with isooctadecanoic acid. The read across source substance is considered a structural analogue taking into account the physico-chemical properties (surface active properties, logKow, water solubility) and the chemical structure of the test item (potassium soap of isooctadecanoic acid). Besides published data on eye irritation properties of long chain fatty acids and their salts are considered relevant for this read across approach. The results of the source substance are considered relevant for human health endpoints skin irritation, eye irritation and consecutive risk assessment of local effects. See read across document for further details.

Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 48 h reading
Irritant / corrosive response data:
A slight enanthema together with slight chemosis was observed in all 3 animals at the 1 hour reading. Enanthema remained during 48 hours in one animal and only 24 hours in the other two. Not any lesion of iris or cornea was recorded.

The irritative phenomena were minor and not any lesion was seen after 48 hours.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test item has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

Under the conditions of the present OECD 405 study, a single application of the test item to rabbits produced slight irritant effects, which were fully reversible within 72 hours in all animals. Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed. According to Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test item has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
