Irritant / corrosive response data:
Corneal opacity, noted in 6/6 eyes, persisted to 21 days in the eye of 1/6 rabbits. Iritis and moderate conjunctival irritation, noted in 6/6 eyes, cleared by day 14. See details in Table 7.3.2/1.
Other effects:
No abnormal systemic signs noted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Triethyl phosphono acetate is irritating to the eye rabbit and required the classification as Eye Irr. 2A (H319) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD 405 guideline, 0.1 mL of undiluted Triethyl phosphono acetate was instilled into the right eye of 6 female New Zealand White Rabbits. After the instillation the substance did not remain. Animals were then observed for 21 days for eye edema and erythema of the conjunctive, corneal opacity and iris lesion. 


Eye irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the instillation of the substance and then at days 7, 14 and 21. The mean individual score were calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs).


 


The mean individual scores were for 1.67/2.33/2.0/1.67/2.0/2.0 chemosis, 0.33/1.0/1.0/0.33/0.33/0.33 for iris lesion, 2.0/2.0/2.33/1.67/2.33/2.0 for conjunctival erythema, and 0.67/2.33/2.0/ 2.0/1.33/2.0 for corneal opacity.


Effects on the iris and the conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) were fully reversible in all animals within 14 days. However, corneal opacity persisted in one animal until day 21 whereas in all other animals (5/6) the effect fully reversed within 7 days.


 


Under the test conditions,Triethyl phosphonoacetate is considered as irritating to the eye rabbit and is therefore classified as Eye Irr. 2A (H319) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).


 


This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for the eye irritation endpoint.
