Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Nine New Zealand White rabbits from Plummer's Rabbit Ranch were used in this study. The rabbits were identified individually by means of numbered ear tags, and were acclimated to the laboratory for at least 5 days prior to being dosed.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.73 gram of the test material (weight of volume occupying 0.1 ml )
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application.
The treated eyes of 6 rabbits were left unrinsed, the treated eyes of 3 rabbits were rinsed after 30 seconds for 60 seconds with 200 ml of lukewarm tap water.
Observation period (in vivo):
Examinations for gross signs of eye irritation were made at 24 hrs., 48 hrs., and 72 hrs., 4 days and 7 days following application.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
9 animals
Details on study design:
1 and 0.25 hours before being dosed, sodium fluorescein (2%) was used in both eyes of each rabbit to assure no corneal opacity was present prior to dosing.
0.73 gram of the test material (weight of volume occupying 0.1 ml) was applied to the right eye of each of the 9 rabbits. The left eyes were untreated and served as controls. The treated eyes of 6 rabbits were left unrinsed, the treated eyes of 3 rabbits were rinsed after 30 seconds for 60 seconds with 200 ml of lukewarm tap water. Examinations for gross signs of eye irritation were made at 24 hrs., 48 hrs., and 72 hrs., 4 days and 7 days following application. Scoring of irritative effects was according to the method of Draize, in which corneal, iris and conjunctival effects are scored separately.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Mild conjunctival erythema was noted in five rabbits with non-rinsed eyes and in one rabbit with a rinsed eye at the 24-hour reading.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the test material in accordance with Section 162.81 of the Regulations for the Enforcement of the Federal .Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, (Federal Register, Wednesday, June 25, 1975).

 

Nine New Zealand White rabbits were used in the study.

0.73 gram of the test material (weight of volume occupying 0.1 ml) was applied to the right eye of each of the 9 rabbits. The left eyes were untreated and served as controls. The treated eyes of 6 rabbits were left unrinsed, the treated eyes of 3 rabbits were rinsed after 30 seconds for 60 seconds with 200 ml of lukewarm tap water. Examinations for gross signs of eye irritation were made at 24 hrs., 48 hrs., and 72 hrs., 4 days and 7 days following application. Scoring of irritative effects was according to the method of Draize.

 

Mild conjunctival erythema was noted in five rabbits with non-rinsed eyes and in one rabbit with a rinsed eye at the 24-hour reading.

Based on these results TVCI B-5909 is classified in Toxicity Category III for eye effects as these categories are described in Section 162.10 of the above-cited Regulations (Federal Register, Thursday, July 3, 1975). This corresponds to "not irritating" under The CLP Regulation. European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
