- Animal Information
Two New Zealand White (Hsdlf:NZW) strain rabbits were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Leicestershire, UK. At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.86 or 3.07 kg and were 12 to 20 weeks old. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days each animal was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker pen on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.
Animal Care and Husbandry
The animals were individually housed in suspended cages. Free access to mains drinking water and food (2930C Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet and drinking water were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 17 to 23 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- clipped
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 mL of the test item was applied directly to the skin under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Four hours.
- Observation period:
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Number of animals:
- Two male rabbits.
- Details on study design:
- Study Design
On the day before the test each of a group of two 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.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 mL of the test item was applied directly to the skin under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.
Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test item removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirit.
Immediately following removal of the patches and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the following scale:
EVALUATION OF SKIN REACTIONS
Erythema and Eschar Formation Value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beef redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema 4
Edema Formation
No edema 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight edema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 millimeter) 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4
Any other skin reactions and clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.
Additional observations were made on Days 7 and 14 to assess the reversibility of skin reactions.
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period.
Data Evaluation
Calculation of Primary Irritation Index and Grading of Irritancy Potential Using the Draize Scheme
The scores for erythema and edema at the 24 and 72 Hour readings were totaled for the two test rabbits (8 values) and this total was divided by 4 to give the primary irritation index of the test item. The test item was classified according to the following scheme devised by Draize, J.H. (1959):
Primary Irritation Index Classification of Irritancy
0 Non-irritant
> 0 to 2 Mild irritant
> 2 to 5 Moderate irritant
> 5 to 8 Severe irritant
If irreversible alteration of the dermal tissue is noted in any rabbit, as judged by the Study Director, which include ulceration and clear necrosis or signs of scar tissue, the test item is classified as corrosive to rabbit skin. Classification according to Draize may, therefore, not be applicable.

Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Only animals free of ocular damage were used.
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A subcutaneous injection of buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg was administered 60 minutes prior to test item application to provide a therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. Five minutes prior to test item application, a pre-dose anesthesia of ocular anesthetic (two drops of 0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride) was applied to each eye.
A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test item, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made according to the six point scale - Initial Pain Reaction, please see "Any other information on materials and methods, inc. tables" for further information.
Eight hours after test item application, a subcutaneous injection of post-dose analgesia, buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg and meloxicam 0.5 mg/kg, was administered to provide a continued therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. The treated animal was checked for signs of pain and suffering approximately 12 hours later. No further analgesia was required.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, a second animal was similarly treated.
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation (Draize, J.H, 1977) given below.
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.
Any clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.
An additional observation was made on Day 7 to assess the reversibility of the ocular effects.
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Acute Dermal Irritation
Substances can be allocated to one of two skin irritation/corrosion categories based on the skin irritation/corrosion route according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Skin irritation/corrosion is assessed based on effects noted during testing with classification being determined by the severity of the effects.
A test substance is considered to be corrosive if up to 4 hours after application it produces irreversible damage to the skin. Classification is further sub-divided based on the severity of the corrosive effects.
A test substance is considered to be irritant if up to 4 hours after application it produces reversible damage to the skin.
Three studies were carried out, two in vitro and one in vivo, to determine the skin irritation/corrosion potential of the test material IFF 215 (Floriane).
In assessing the potential for skin irritation/corrosion, in vitro testing is recommended initially. As the in vitro studies indicated that the substance was not considered an irritant or corrosive, additional in vivo testing was then carried out. The subsequent in vivo testing provided results indicating that the test material should be considered to be an irritant. Although in vitro data is considered to be acceptable for classification purposes, in vivo data is considered to be more reliable for classification and as such as in vivo results were available, these were used for the final classification decision.
Based on the results of the in vivo study carried out according to OECD 404, it can be concluded that the test material IFF 215 (Floriane) is classified as a Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria.
Eye Irritation
Substances can be allocated to one of two serious eye damage/irritation categories based on the serious eye damage/irritation route according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Serious eye damage/irritation is assessed based on effects noted during testing with classification being determined by the severity of the effects.
A test substance is considered to cause serious eye damage after application to the anterior surface of the eye if it produces irreversible tissue damage and/or serious physical decay in vision.
A test substance is considered to be an irritant if after application to the anterior surface of the eye it produces changes that are fully reversible within 21 days.
Three studies were carried out, two in vitro and one in vivo, to determine the eye irritation potential of the test material IFF 215 (Floriane).
In assessing the potential for eye irritation, in vitro testing is recommended initially. As one of the in vitro studies could not predict the eye irritation potential of the test substance and the second in vitro study indicated that the substance was not considered an irritant, additional in vivo testing was then carried out. The subsequent in vivo testing provided results indicating that the test material should not be considered to be an irritant. Although in vitro data is considered to be acceptable for classification purposes, in vivo data is considered to be more reliable for classification and as such as in vivo results were available, these were used for the final classification decision.
Based on the results of the in vivo study carried out according to OECD 405, it can be concluded that the test material IFF 215 (Floriane) is not classified as an irritant to the eye based on GHS criteria.
