Description of key information
Skin corrosion/irritation
The assessment of skin irritation toxicity for Set 1 compiles the review of 19 studies performed between 1970 and 2004. Different forms of synthetic amorphous silica with specific surface area (BET) ranging from 45-700 m2/g were used as test materials. 7 of these studies meet the criteria for Klimisch score 1 and 12 of them meet the Klimisch score 2. These studies were performed according to OECD test guideline 404 or similar in vivo methods. Test material was applied once to intact and abraded skin of rabbit up to 24h. Non-irritating to slightly irritating (with 0.5 g) properties were observed. There was no indication of any systemic effect due to the treatment. Signs of significant, not fully reversible skin damage or irritation were absent in all studies. The slight irritation observed in some studies is caused by hygroscopic properties and a mechanical effect of the test substance. Body weight changes were not remarkable. Untreated SAS is therefore not considered a skin irritant.
Eye irritation
The assessment of eye irritation toxicity for Set 1 compiles the review of 24 studies performed between 1973 and 2004. Different forms of synthetic amorphous silica with specific surface area (BET) ranging from 45-700 m2/g were used as test materials.
4 of these studies meet the criteria of Klimisch score 1 and 15 studies meet the criteria of Klimisch score 2. These studies were performed in vivo according to OECD test guideline 405 or similar test methods. The results vary from no irritation up to a conjunctivitis that completely recovered within 48 hours. Signs of significant eye damage or incompletely reversible irritation were absent in all studies. The slight irritation observed in some studies is caused by hygroscopic properties of the test substance and the physical presence of a foreign body in the eye of the animal. After washing, no irritation was observed. Untreated SAS is therefore not considered an eye irritant.

- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
Referenceopen allclose all
The single application (4hours, occlusive patch) of 0.5g Sident 9 to the intact skin of three rabbits each caused no changes. During the observation period neither erythema nor endema could be detected. The irritation index is 0.0. Sident 9 therefore is classified as non-irritant in this test system.

The conjuctiva reacted with diffuse redness (grade 2) in all 3 animals 1h after application. The findings had completely disappeared after 72 h to 7 days. Only at the day of application the conjuctivas were swollen (Grade 1). In addition, a slight discharge (grade 1) was observed in all 3 animals at the day of application. All effects were reversible after 48h, 72h or 7 days respectively.
It is considered that all effects were induced by the physical property (dust) of the test substance. Therefore the test substance was considered to be not irritant. - Interpretation of results:

- AMENDMENT TO PROTOCOL
Animal number 12429 died spontaneously prior to the 24-hour scoring interval and was replaced with animal number 12480. To fulfill the requirement of the protocol for three animals, a new animal was placed on study. Animal number 12429’s death does not appear to be related to exposure to the test substance. - GLP compliance:

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Gel, non-surface treated Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS)
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- from: Robinson Services, Inc. Clemmons, NC, USA; singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging with mesh floors, 17-22 °C, 12-hour light/dark, food: Purina Rabbit Chow #5326, filtered tap water ad-libitum

- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 (2 males, 1 female); but 1 animal was replaced due to death, so actually 4 animals participated in this study
- Details on study design:
- Prior to instillation, both eyes of a number of animals were examined using a fluorescein dye procedure. One drop of 2% ophthalmic fluorescein sodium was instilled into both eyes of each rabbit. The eyes were rinsed with physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) approximately 30 seconds after instillation of the fluorescein.
Prior to use, the test substance was ground with a mortar and pestle. One-tenth of a milliliter (0.04 grams) of the ground test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The other eye of each rabbit remained untreated with the test substance and served as a control. The rabbits were then returned to their designated cages.
Ocular irritation was evaluated using a high-intensity white light (Mag Lite) in accordance with Draize et al.' at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation. The fluorescein dye evaluation procedure described above was used at 24 hours to verify the absence of corneal damage. Individual scores were recorded for each animal. In addition to observations of the cornea, iris and conjunctivae, any other observed lesions were noted. The average score for all rabbits at each scoring period was calculated to aid in data interpretation.
The time interval with the highest mean score (Maximum Mean Total Score - MMTS) for all rabbits was used to classify the test substance by the system of Kay and Calandra.
The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and behavioral changes at least once daily during the test period. Observations included gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea and coma. - Irritation parameter:

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- There was no corneal opacity observed in any treated eye during the study. One hour following test substance instillation, all three treated eyes exhibited conjunctivitis, and one treated eye had iritis. The overall incidence and severity of irritation decreased with time. All animals were free of ocular irritation by 72 hours.
- Other effects:
- One of the test animals was found dead within 24 hours of test substance instillation. Gross necropsy of the decedent revealed ano-genital staining and liquid in the abdominal cavity. This animal was replaced to continue the study. The replacement animal exhibited soft feces on Days 2 and 3 of the study. The remaining two animals appeared active and healthy during the study.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified as irritating to the eye.
- Executive summary:
A primary eye irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for Britesorb A100 to produce irritation from a single instillation via the ocular route.

- Details on study design:
- Prior to instillation, both eyes of a number of animals were examined using a fluorescein dye procedure. One drop of 2% ophthalmic fluorescein sodium was instilled into both eyes of each rabbit. The eyes were rinsed with physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) approximately 30 seconds after instillation of the fluorescein.
Prior to use, the test substance was ground with a mortar and pestle. One-tenth of a milliliter (0.02 grams) of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The other eye of each rabbit remained untreated with the test substance and served as a control. The rabbits were then returned to their designated cages.
Ocular irritation was evaluated using a high-intensity white light (Mag Lite) in accordance with Draize et al.' at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation. The fluorescein dye evaluation procedure described above was used at 24 hours to verify the absence of corneal damage. Individual scores were recorded for each animal. In addition to observations of the cornea, iris and conjunctivae, any other observed lesions were noted. The average score for all rabbits at each scoring period was calculated to aid in data interpretation.
The time interval with the highest mean score (Maximum Mean Total Score - MMTS) for all rabbits was used to classify the test substance by the system of Kay and Calandra.
The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and behavioral changes at least once daily during the test period. Observations included gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea and coma. - Irritation parameter:

There were weakly irritating effects on the conjunctivae only: redness score 2 in all 3 animals after 1 h, score 2 and 1 after 24 h and reversible at 7 days. Chemosis and discharge was very slight only 1 h after application (score 1).
The findings were considered to be induced by the physicalproperty of the test substance (dust) and therefore the test substance can be declared as non-irritant. No alterations on the cornea or iris were observed. The primary irritation index was 3.
immediatly after application, after 1 and 4 hrs: mild erythema, vascularyzation of the scelera and nictitating membrane
after 24 hrs: very mild erythema and vascularyzation of the lower scelera and nictitating membrane
after 48 hrs: effects subsided completely
cf. Table 1 for more detail
At 24 hr, the animals displayed slightly greater conjunctival erythema. Four animials showed vessels difinitely injected above normal, one animal exhibited a deep crimson-red conjunctivae with the individual vessels not easily discernible, and one animal appeared normal. At 48 and 72 hrs, the serverity of conjunctival erythema had decreased with only 2 animals at each observation time demonstrating conjunctival vessels injected above normal.
