and/or
— at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:
o corneal opacity ≥ 3 and/or
o iritis > 1,5
calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material.


Reversible effects on the eye/irritating to eyes (Category 2)
If, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:
— at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:
o corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or
o iritis ≥ 1, and/or
o conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or
o conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In conclusion, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Golden Yellow Continuous does not require classification as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation study of the test item Golden Yellow Continuous was performed in New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effects of the test item were evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD No.: 405, 2002).

The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. An amount ofof the solid test item was administered as a single dose. The eyes of the test animals were rinsed with 0.9% NaCl solution, one hour after application of the test item.

The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the application.

 

Initial Pain reaction (score 1) was observed in all animals. All animals blinked several times in response to instillation of the test item.

One hour after the application, conjunctival redness (score 2) was observed in two animals, conjunctival redness (score 1) in one animal, discharge (score 2) was found in two animals, and discharge (score 1) in case of one animal.

At 24 hours after treatment, conjunctival redness (score 2) was observed in two animals, conjunctival redness (score 1) in one animal.

At 48 hours after treatment, conjunctival redness (score 1) was found in two animals.

At 72 hours after treatment, there were no signs of eye irritation observed.

As there were no local or systemic clinical signs observed 72 hours after test item administration, the study was terminated after the 72-hour observation.

No abnormalities were detected in the control eyes during the entire study period.

 

The general state and behaviour of animals were normal throughout the study period. There were no notable body weight changes during the study period.

The animal’s individual mean scores (considering readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment) were as follows:

The test item Golden Yellow Continuous, applied to the rabbits eye mucosa, caused significant conjunctival irritant effects at one hour which were reduced 24 hours after application. The effects were fully reversible within 72 hours.

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Golden Yellow Continuous does not require classification as an eye irritant.
