30-60 minutes and 24 hours after removal of the plaster the animals showed moderate erythema. Very slight oedema were observed 24 hours after removal of the plaster. 48 and 72 hours after removal of the plaster the animals showed very slight up to well defined erythema. 7 days after removal of the plaster all irritations were reversible.
Based on the results of this study the substance is slightly irritating to skin. The substance does not meet the EU criteria for classification on the basis of the effects noted.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours then 1 week after the application.

One hour after treatment the vessels were diffuse and the individual vessels were not easily discernible (score 2), were found in all animals. In animal No.: 7171 the discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, on considerable area around the eye (score 3) in other animal (No.: 7185) the discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids (score 2) occurred and in animal No.: 7159 the amount of discharge was greater than normal (score 1).

Chemosis was not observable during the study.

There were no effects observed in the cornea and iris during the study period.

24 hours after treatment some hyperaemic blood vessels (score 1) were observed in animal No.: 7159. In two cases (No.: 7185, 7171) the vessels were more diffuse (score 2).
Discharge alterations were not found at this time.

48 hours after treatment some blood vessels hyperaemic (score 1) were found in all animals.

72 hours after treatment in two animals (7185, 7171) the scores of the redness did not change compared to the previous observation. The animal No.: 7159 became fully symptom-free by this time.

1 week after treatment the study was terminated, since no primary irritation symptoms occurred.

During the study the control eyes of animals were symptom-free.

General state and the behaviour of animals were normal throughout the study period.

There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, test item Gelb Sulfato applied to the rabbits' eye mucosa, caused temporary slight conjunctival reddening, which was fully reversible within one week. No other adverse effects were noted.
Consequently, the test substance is not an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation study of the test item Gelb Sulfato was performed in New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effect of the test item was evaluated according to the Draize method.

 

The study was performed in accordance with the study plan, the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 405, Directive 2004/73/EEC B.5 and the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and is reported with a GLP certificate. The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. 0.1 g of the test item was used for the study in pure state, as a single dose. The eyes of the test animals were not washed out after the application of test item. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours then one week after the application.

One hour after the single application of test item Gelb Sulfato into the eye of the rabbits moderate redness and slightly to severely increased discharge were observed in the eye of the test animals. There were no effects observed in the cornea, iris and conjunctival chemosis during the study period. 72 hour after the application in two cases slight redness were found, one animal became fully symptom-free by this time. 1 week after treatment the study was terminated, since no primary irritation symptoms occurred.

During the study the control eyes of animals were symptom-free.  General state and the behaviour of animals were normal throughout the study period.

There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period.

 

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

cornea opacity : 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

iris : 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

redness : 1.33, 0.66, 1.33

chemosis : 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

discharge : 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

 

In conclusion, test item Gelb Sulfato applied to the rabbits' eye mucosa, caused slight to moderate conjunctival irritant effects, which were fully reversible within one week.

 

According to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.

Additional information

Skin irritation / Corrosion.

Two studies for skin irritation were used in a weight of evidence approach from 2 different very close structural analogues. both studies were conducted according to EU test guidance 92/69/EEC part B4 and OECD guideline 404 in compliance with GLP.

In the first study, 60 minutes after removal of the plaster the animals showed very slight erythema, which was no longer visible after 24 hours.

In the second study, 30-60 minutes and 24 hours after removal of the plaster the animals showed moderate erythema. Very slight oedema were observed 24 hours after removal of the plaster. 48 and 72 hours after removal of the plaster the animals showed very slight up to well defined erythema. 7 days after removal of the plaster all irritations were reversed.

Based on the results of these studies, it is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to skin. The substance does not meet the CLP criteria for classification on the basis of the effects noted.

 

Eye irritation.

The acute eye irritation study of the test item Gelb Sulfato was performed in New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effect of the test item was evaluated according to the Draize method. The study was performed in accordance with the study plan, the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 405, Directive 2004/73/EEC B.5 and the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and is reported with a GLP certificate. The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. 0.1 g of the test item was used for the study in pure state, as a single dose. The eyes of the test animals were not washed out after the application of test item. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours then one week after the application.

One hour after the single application of test item Gelb Sulfato into the eye of the rabbits redness and increased discharge were observed in the eye of the test animals within the first 3 days after test substance administration. There were no effects observed in the cornea, iris and conjunctival chemosis during the study period. 72 hour after the application in two cases slight redness were found, one animal became fully symptom-free by this time. 1 week after treatment the study was terminated, since no primary irritation symptoms occurred.

During the study the control eyes of animals were symptom-free.  General state and the behaviour of animals were normal throughout the study period.

There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 1 according to the Klimisch et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were conducted to GLP an in compliance with agreed protocols. Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). No classification for irritation effects is therefore required.
