- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Ten healthy NZ White rabbits were used, equally divided by sex, with body weights between 2.3 and 3.0 kg. Animals were housed individually and allowed Purina Rabbit Chow and water ad libitum.
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Preparation of test site:
- other: clipped, abraded and intact skin
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:

- Amount / concentration applied:
- 2000 mg/kg bw. Using a body weight estimate of 2.5 kg, approximatley 5 g or 5 ml of test material was applied.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 24 h
- Observation period:
- 14 days
- Number of animals:
- 10 total, 5 males and 5 females
- Details on study design:
- The hair of the animals was clipped, and in 4/10 animals, the skin was abraded with epidermal incisions every 2-3 cm longitudinally over the application area. In the remaining animals, application of test material was made to intact skin. Each animal received a single dermal application of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test material was held in contact with the skin for 24 h by a heavy gauge plastic, covered with an opaque wrapping. After 24 h, the wrappings were removed and the skin gently wiped to remove any remaining test material. Animals were then observed for mortality and signs of irritation and toxicity frequently during the first day, and at least once daily thereafter for 14 days. Necropsy examinations were performed for gross organ pathology. Body weights were recorded initally and for survivors, at termination of the study.
- Irritation parameter:
- overall irritation score
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- 24/48/72 h
- Score:
- 0.5
- Max. score:
- 8
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Erythema and edema was noted in all animals by the end of 24 h, and continued through 48 h as reflected in interim clinical notations. By 72 h, recovery had occurred and all animals were noted as "normal" on day 4. At the end of the study, all test sites were noted as "normal".
- Other effects:
- Diarrhea was noted in 4 of 10 animals. No lethality was observed in this study.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: non-irritating
- Conclusions:
- Irritation information on the test substance was obtained in an acute dermal toxicity study in rabbits, after a 24 hour occlusive exposure. Some skin irritation was seen between 24 and 72 h, which was fully reversible by day 4. Under the conditions of the current OECD guideline, the substance is expected to be non-irritating.

SCORING SYSTEM: Lesions to the cornea, iris, and conjunctivae. For the cornea, scores ranged from 0-4, with 0 being no ulceration or opacity, and 4 being complete corneal opacity with iris not discernible. For the iris, scores ranged from 0-2, with 0 being normal, and 2 being no reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction, or all of the above. Lesions to the conjunctivae were scored separately for redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris) and chemosis. For redness, scores ranged from 0-3, with 0 being normal vessels, and 3 being diffuse beefy red. For chemosis, scores ranged from 0-4, with 0 being no swelling, and 4 being swelling with lids more than half closed.

- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1963-1982
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Justification for type of information:
- The analogue approach is used for the hazard assessment of toxicological endpoints for the registration of 2-hydroxyethyl ricinoleate (CAS 106-17-2) based on generation of different breakdown/metabolic products resulting in similar physical and biological systems (Scenario 2 of the Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF, ECHA, 2017). Read-across is applied from glycol stearate (CAS 111-60-4) and ethylene glycol distearate (CAS 627-83-8), and a non-hydroxyl ester, methyl ricinoleate (CAS 141-24-2). The first two of these provide hazard information on the glycol portion of the substance; the latter on the ricinoleate function. The different alcohols resulting from ester hydrolysis of the source compounds and the target substance will not result in significant variation in biological effects.
The glycol stearate was found to be non-irritating) in an experimental rabbit model as well as in human clinical studies (patch testing and evaluation over 45 days). Ethylene glycol distearate was tested in guinea pigs and found to be negative (Jones, 1984). From experimental data on the registered substance itself, it appears an extreme high dose exposure is needed to induce irritation in rabbits, which, nonetheless, was reversible (Wakatama, 1984). There is high confidence that the registered (target) substance is not irritating.
Read-across among the analogues is substantiated as valid and is adequate to fulfill the information requirements of Annex IX, to be the basis for classification and labelling decisions, and for risk assessment. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test material was evaluated for irritation potential. The test material was observed to be non-irritating to the skin and eyes. GHS criteria (Regulation EC No. 1272/2008) for classification as an irritant are not met.
