Description of key information

Skin irritation:

The skin irritation potential of test item to the rabbit was assessed by EPA OTS 798.4470. A single semi-occlusive application of test item to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation.

Eye irritation:

The eye irritation potential of test item to the rabbit was assessed following EPA OTS 798.4500. A single instillation of test item into the eye of the rabbit elicited transient, very slight to moderate conjunctivaI irritation.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE
The eyes of each animal were examined prior to instillation to ensure that there was no pre-existing corneaI damage, iridial or conjunctival inflammation.
One animal was treated in advance of the other five, to ensure that if a severe response was produced, no further animals would be exposed. Approximately 0.1 mL of the test substance was placed into the lower everted lid of one eye of each animal. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
A single instillation of test item into the eye of the rabbit elicited transient, very slight to moderate conjunctivaI irritation.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of test item to the rabbit following EPA OTS 798.4500. Six rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of 0.1 mL of the test substance and observed for up to four days after instillation.

There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.

No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was observed.

Diffuse beefy to crimson red colouration of the conjunctivae was seen in three animals at the one hour time point. Transient hyperaemia was observed in the remaining three animals. In addition, swelling was seen in two animals. These reactions had resolved in all instances by 1, 2 or 4 days after instillation. No corneal damage or irridial inflammation was observed.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation:

In vivo, EPA OTS 798.4470:

Mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal: erythema: 0 for all animals tested;

oedema: 0 for all animals tested.

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, section 3.2.2.1 and Table 3.2.2, this substance should not be classified for this endpoint.

 

Eye irritation:

In vivo, EPA OTS 798.4500:

Mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment:

Conjunctivae: 0.33, 0, 0, 1, 0.33, 0;

Chemosis: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0;

Cornea opacity: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0;

Iris: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, table 3.3.1 and 3.3.2, this substance should not be classified for this endpoint.
