5.1 - 8.0 severely irritant

Erythema and eschar formation:

- Well-defined erythema: 2
- Moderate to severe erythema: 3
- Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth): 4

Oedema formation:
- No oedema: 0
- Very slight oedema (barely perceptible): 1
- Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising): 2

Remarks on result:

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The animals showed a normal body weight development. Starred figures indicate impossibility of scoring due to intensive blue staining by the test compound. The scoring was performed after the values for edema only.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 41001/D is non-irritant and not corrosive when applied to the rabbit skin; the test was terminated after 3 observation days.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the primary skin irritation in Albino rabbits with compound FAT 41001/D. The test was carried out according to OECD guideline 404. Not less than 24 hours before treatment on the back of the experimental animal an area was shaven of at least 6 sq.cm by means of an electric clipper. 0.5 ml of the test substance was applied to the skin by means of gauze and loosely held in place by adhesive but non irritating tape for a period of 4 hours. Erythema scoring was possible only in one animal since intensive staining was observed in other animals. The mean 24/48/72h score was recorded to be 0.33 for animal #1. The mean 24/48/72h oedema score was recorded to be 0. The animals showed a normal body weight development. No other reactions to treatment were recorded during the whole observation period. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded, that FAT 41001/D is non-irritant and not corrosive when applied to the rabbit skin. The test was terminated after 3 observation days.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The irritating and/or corrosive potential of the test article (theoretical range: non-irritant - extremely irritant) was assessed on the basis of the maximum irritant effect observed
- in one or several of the ocular tissues (conjunctiva, iris, cornea), observed over the range of observation time
- in one or more animals and taking into account the reversibility of the effect.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

FAT 41001/D was evaluated for eye irritation potential according to the procedure prescribed by OECD test guideline 405. 3 male Albino rabbits were used to perform the test. 0.1 g of the test article was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. The ocular reactions were examined 1, 24, 48, and 72h, 7 and 21 days after substance instillation and again during the following observation period. The 24/48/72h mean corneal opacity, iris, conjunctivae, chemosis scores were reported as 3, 1.55, 3 and 3.67 respectively. Iris and chemosis effects were not reversible within 21 days. No abnormal effects on body weight was observed. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that FAT 41001/D is severely irritant and corrosive when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.

Additional information

A key study was carried out to determine the acute dermal skin irritation/corrosion potential in the rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 404. The animals showed a normal body weight development. It can be concluded, that FAT 41001/D (purity: 78.8%) is non-irritant and not corrosive when applied to the rabbit skin; the test was terminated after 3 observation days. A supporting study was carried out to determine the acute dermal skin irritation/corrosion potential in the rabbits according to OECD guideline 404.

Under the conditions of the present experiment FAT 41001 / C (purity: 26.1 % AS.) was found to be slightly irritant and not corrosive when applied to the rabbit skin. There was a clear tendency of recovery towards the end of the observation period of 7 days. The purpose of this supporting study was to evaluate the primary skin irritation in Albino rabbits with compound FAT 41001/A (purity 60%). The test was carried out according to the method given in the "Hazardous Substances Regulations" under the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.11 (February 1965). Twenty four hours after application of the test compound, slight erythema and edema was present in 4/6 and 6/6 animals respectively. All test sites were normal after 72 hours. The primary irritation score was 1.0. FAT 41001/A is a slight primary skin irritant in the albino rabbit. Considering the above results from key and supporting studies it can be concluded that FAT 41001 is non-irritant to rabbit’s skin. A key study was carried out to determine the acute eye irritation/corrosion potential in the rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 405. Under the conditions of the present experiment FAT 41001/D (purity: 78.8 %) was found to be severely irritant and corrosive when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.

In supporting study, FAT 41001 / C was found to be slightly irritant and not corrosive when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. There was a clear tendency of recovery towards the end of the observation period of 7 days. In another supporting study, the test was carried out in accordance with the procedure set out in the "Hazardous Substances Regulations" under the U.S.A. Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.12 (February 1965), with slight modification. Within one hour of application of the test compound, there was a conjunctival reaction in 6/5.animals, together with superficial ulceration and/or opacity of the cornea in 5/5. All eyes were normal by day 6 except for blue staining of the conjunctivae and corneas in some animals. FAT 41001/A (purity: not known) is a slight eye irritant in the albino rabbit. Considering the above results from key and supporting studies it can be concluded that FAT 41001 is highly irritating to rabbit’s eye.
