Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Prior to test initiation, both eyes of a group of animals were examined using a white light source and 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) after instillation of the fluorescein and then evaluated for corneal damage using an ultraviolet light source. Prior to test substance instillation, the eyes were re-examined and scored for abnormalities according to the "Scale for Scoring Ocular Lesions" (see Table 3). Three healthy naive animals (not previously tested) without pre-existing ocular irritation were selected for test.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: left eye untreated; control eye
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL (undiluted)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male
Details on study design:
One-tenth of a milliliter of the undiluted 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 white light source in accordance with Draize et al.1 (see Table 3) at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation. The fluorescein dye evaluation procedure described in Section 5.A. was used in the treated eye at 24 hours to verify the absence of corneal damage. Individual scores were recorded for each animal.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
All animals appeared active and healthy and gained body weight during the study. Apart from the eye irritation noted below, there were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects, or abnormal behavior.

There was no corneal opacity or iritis observed in any treated eye during this study. One hour after test substance instillation, all three treated eyes exhibited positive conjunctivitis. The overall incidence and severity of irritation decreased with time. All animals were free of ocular irritation by 72 hours.

The Maximum Mean Total Score for the eye irritation of triisotridecyl phosphite is 8.0.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, triisotridecyl phosphite is found to be mildly irritating to the eye. According to the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) Fifth revised edition 2013 under the conditions of this study, classification is not required. In accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) Number 1272/2008 amended by Commission Regulation (EU) Number 286/2011 of 10 March 2011 (ATP002) on the Classification, Labeling, and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, classification is not required based on the results of this study.
