Male and female animals are dosed with 0.5 mL. The dose is applied to the clipped, intact skin under a gauze patch and is loosely covered with impervious sheeting. The test material is applied to each of 6 rabbits, which are restrained for the 4 h contact period. Excess sample is removed after contact. Skin reaction is scored by the method of Draize at 1 hour, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days.

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six New Zealand White rabbits were dosed with 0.1 mL of test material. The dose was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye. The eyes were scored according to Draize.
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Batch no.: TS-3200424
- Appearance: Colorless, transparent viscous liquid
- Purity: 99.82%
Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.0-3.0 kg
- Diet: commerical diet (ad libitum)
- Water: municipal water (ad libitum)
Vehicle:

Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
Male and female rabbits are dosed with 0.1 mL. The dose is instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye per animal or is placed directly on the eye. The eyelids are held together for one second. Six eyes are dosed per test volume. The eyes are scored according to Draize for 1 h, 4 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days after dosing. Fluorescin (1%) staining is used to determine corneal injury before dosing and readings after 1 day.

Additional information

No skin irritation was found in rabbits when applicated the undiluted test substance under occlusive conditions. No eye irritation was seen, given the test substance undiluted into the eyes of rabbits. Scoring for both endpoints was done according to Draize (BRRC, 1990).

There is one study available that investigates respiratory sensory irritation. In this study the decrease in respiratory rates was determined. The RD50 or concentration of the test substance which produced a 50 percent decrease in respiratory rate, was determined to be 5.14 mg/L, with a 95 confidence interval of 3.77-7.10 mg/L.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information classification for skin and eye irritation is not warranted in accordance with EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. 1272/2008.
