Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
09 April 2015 - 27 April 2015
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The study was performed as a data requirement for a registration in China.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: One eye of each animal remained untreated and served as the reference control.
Amount / concentration applied:
63.4 – 63.7 mg (approx 0.1 mL)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation on day 1.
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
Study Design:
The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit (sentinel). The two other animals were treated in a similar manner 11 days later, after considering the degree of eye irritation observed in the first animal. Animals were treated by instillation of, on average, 63.6 mg (range 63.4 – 63.7 mg) of the test substance (a volume of approximately 0.1 mL), in the conjunctival sac of one of the eyes after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance. Immediately after the 24-hour observation, a solution of 2% fluorescein in water (adjusted to pH 7.0) was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantitatively determine corneal epithelial damage.

Analgesia:
One hour prior to instillation, the rabbits were subcutaneouslyinjected with 0.01 mg/kg buprenorphine and 5 minutes prior to instillation, two drops of topical anesthetic alcaine 0.5% were applied to both eyes.
After fluorescein examination, 0.01 mg/kg buprenorphine and 0.5 mg/kg meloxicam were subcutaneously injected.

Observations:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
Toxicity: At least once daily.
Body Weight: Day of treatment (prior to instillation) and after the final observation.
Irritation: The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance.
Other: Local effects were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of an eye irritation study performed according to OECD guideline 405 and EU method B.5, URALAC P 1920C is not classified for adverse effects on the eye according to CLP and GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was performed according to OECD guideline 405 and EU method B.5. This in vivo study was performed as a data requirement for a registration in China. Three rabbits were exposed in a step-wise manner by a single instillation of 63.4 – 63.7 mg (approx 0.1 mL) test item in one eye. Minor rrritation of the conjunctivae in the form of redness, chemosis and discharge was observed. All irritation effects had resolved after 7 days. Based on the results, URALAC P 1920C is not classified according to CLP and GHS criteria.
