Irritant / corrosive response data:
Application of the test article to healthy intact rabbit skin resulted in a primary irritation score of 0.00
Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. No signs of irritation were observed.
Other effects:
COLORATION: Violet staining by the test article of the treated skin area was observed until study termination.

MORTALITY/CLINICAL SIGNS: No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred.

CORROSION: No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

BODY WEIGHTS: The body weight of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 40574/B is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test article was investigated by topical application of 0.5 g to 6 sq.cm intact dorsal skin of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. This study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 404 in a GLP certified laboratory.

The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion.

The mean 24/48/72h erythema and edema scores was 0.00. Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. No signs of irritation were observed. The test article caused violet staining of the treated skin until the end of the observation period.

No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval.

Based upon the referred classification criteria (EEC Commission Directive 93/21/EEC of April 27, 1993), the test article is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.

In two animals, conjunctival reddening was noted after 24 hours and persisted in one animal until 48 hours after treatment. All signs of irritation were reversible after 72 hours. The 24/48/72 h corneal opacity, iris, conjuctivae and chemosis score was 0, 0, 0.33, 0, respectively. Pink staining nictitating membrane and the sclera by the test article was observed in all animals until 21 days after treatment.

Additional information

Skin irritation


The primary skin irritation potential of the test article was investigated by topical application of 0.5 g to 6 sq.cm intact dorsal skin of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. This study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 404 in a GLP certified laboratory. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion. The mean 24/48/72h erythema and edema scores was 0.00. Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. No signs of irritation were observed. The test article caused violet staining of the treated skin until the end of the observation period. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval. Based upon the referred classification criteria (EEC Commission Directive 93/21/EEC of April 27, 1993), the test article is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.


Eye irritation


The primary irritation potential of the test article was investigated by instillation of 0.1 g into one eye of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. This study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 405 in a GLP certified laboratory. The treated eyes were not rinsed after application. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7, 14 and 21 days after test article application. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48 and 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion. The 24/48/72h eye irritation scores were recorded. In all animals, slight to moderate swelling of the conjunctivae, as well as slight watery discharge were observed one hour after treatment. In two animals, conjunctival reddening was noted after 24 hours and persisted in one animal until 48 hours after treatment. All signs of irritation were reversible after 72 hours. The 24/48/72 h corneal opacity, iris, conjuctivae and chemosis score was 0, 0, 0.33, 0 respectively. Pink staining nictitating membrane and the sclera by the test article was observed in all animals until 21 days after treatment. Based on the findings of this study, FAT 40574/B was classified as Eye corrosion - 1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to irreversible pink staining of the nictitating membrane and the sclera until study termination on day 21, the substance does need to be classified as Eye Damage 1 H318: causes severe eye damage. But no classification for skin irritation/corrosion is required.
