- Conclusions:
- Testing of the test substance for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the test item caused severe ocular lesions (risk of serious damage to eyes).
- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405, an amount of 100 mg of the test substance was administered once to the conjunctival sack of the left eye of one female New Zealand White rabbit. The treated eye was washed out 24 hours after the administration of the test item. The untreated eye served as a control.
The test item caused irritating effects in the eye of the animal up to 14 days (end of study) after administration. Extreme cornea vascularization was observed on day 15 indicating irreversible effects and the animal had to be killed for animal welfare reasons. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
Summarizing, testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the test substance caused severe ocular lesions (risk of serious damage to eyes).
Reference
The conjunctiva of the animal showed 1 hour up to the end of the study (14 days after administration) some diffuse beefy red color and obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids up to swelling with about half closed lids. The cornea showed scattered areas from day 2 up to the end of the study; up to 50 % or slightly more of the cornea was affected. In addition to these observations, the animal showed also colorless serious eye discharge one up to 24 hours after administration. Thereafter up to the end of the study the animal showed white mucous eye discharge. The animal showed additionally vascularization of the cornea from day 8 (slight) up to day 15 (extreme) of the study which indicates irreversible effects. On day 15 the animal was therefore killed for animal welfare reasons.
Endpoint conclusion

Additional information
Skin irritation
An initial test was performed using one animal. As no corrosive effects were observed in the initial test a confirmatory test with two further animals was conducted. Altogether, 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were tested for skin irritation according to OECD Guideline 404 and EU Method B.4 with 0.5 g of the test substance moistened in sesame oil per animal for an exposure period of 4 hours. No signs of irritation were observed during the whole observation period. Based on the system of evaluation defined by EC, the following overall mean scores for dermal irritation after 24, 48 and 72 hours were calculated: Erythema and eschar formation - 0 and Edema formation - 0. It can be concluded, based on the results of this study that the test substance is not irritating to skin of rabbits. The results of the animal studies were supported by the results of a repeated insult (occlusive) patch test procedure in human subjects (see section 7.10.4) with 6 % of the test substance. The study showed that the test substance does not induce irritant or allergic contact dermatitis in human subjects.
Eye irritation
In an eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405, an amount of 100 mg of the test substance was administered once to the conjunctival sack of the left eye of one female New Zealand White rabbit. The treated eye was washed out 24 hours after the administration of the test item. The untreated eye served as a control.The test item caused irritating effects in the eye of the animal up to 14 days (end of study) after administration. Extreme cornea vascularization was observed on day 15 indicating irreversible effects and the animal had to be killed for animal welfare reasons. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
Summarizing, testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the test substance caused severe ocular lesions (risk of serious damage to eyes).
Results of the supporting study were in line with the results of the key study. When the study results are analysed according to the CLP criteria lead at least to eye irritation Cat. 2. As the study terminated 72 hours after test substance application, reversibility of the results after 21 days is questionable. Therefore no classification and labelling for eye irritation Cat. 1 could be determined. It was shown that the test substance in both concentrations (30 % and 100%) results in conjunctivae redness in a score of >= 2 and cornea opacity of >= 1 were observed in 2 out of 3 animals (when calculated as mean scores after 24, 48 and 72 hours for each of the two animals). When following classification and labelling criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), and assuming reversible effects (although this is not evident), the test substance in concentrations of 30 % and 100 % (but not with 10 % of the test substance, which is similar to the concentration in the product) should be classified and labelled for eye irritation cat. 2.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results obtained, potassium hexadecyl hydrogen phosphate was classified and labelled for eye damage Cat.1 H318 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) 2019/521. The substance was not subjected to classification and labelling for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
