Additional information

Eye irritation in vivo (OECD 405, GLP)


The potential of the test material to cause damage to the conjunctiva, iris or cornea was assessed by a single ocular application of 0.1 mL bulk volume (about 25 mg) of the undiluted test item to one eye of three New Zealand White rabbits (stepwise procedure starting with one animal and supplementing two additional animals). About, and not less than 24 hours after application, the eye was rinsed with tap water.


The ocular reactions were assessed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application and on study day 7 at the latest. Additional eye examinations were performed at 24 and 48 h after application with the instillation of a fluorescein solution. Due to absence of detectable lesions following fluorescein instillation, all subsequent readings were performed without the aid of fluorescein.


Slight conjunctival redness (grade 1), slight conjunctival chemosis (grade 1) and slight discharge (grade 1) were observed. The ocular reactions were reversible in one animal within 72 hours and in two animals within 7 days after application. Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for corneal opacity and for iris lesions, 0.7, 1.0 and 1.0 for redness of the conjunctiva and 0.0, 0.0 and 0.3 for chemosis.


 


Skin irritation in vivo (OECD 404, GLP)


The potential to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosivity was assessed by a single topical application of an amount of 0.5 g of the test item for 4 hours to the intact skin of three New Zealand White rabbits (stepwise procedure starting with one animal, supplementing two additional animals), using a patch of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm, covered with semi-occlusive dressing. After removal of the patch the application area was washed off. The cutaneous reactions were assessed immediately after removal of the patch, approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch and on study day 7. Very slight erythema (grade 1) were recorded during the course of the study


The cutaneous reactions were reversible in two animals within 72 hours and in one animal within 7 days after removal of the patch.


Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.0, 0.3 and 0.7 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for edema.


 


Comment on the local effects observed during the acute dermal toxicity study in rats (OECD 402,GLP):


For the acute dermal toxicity study, the substance was applied as a solution in oil at a higher dose and onto a larger surface for a longer period (24h versus 4h). If compared to the pure, insoluble form, uptake in the skin is more likely in the dissolved form with oil as carrier. Under these conditions, significant and prolonged redness (erythema) and slight edema were observed.


 

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental test data on eye and skin irritation are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. A GLP-compliant OECD 405 and 404 study is available for eye and skin irritation, respectively. The scores for the test item treated tissues were below the thresholds for classification as an irritant based on GHS criteria. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for skin or eye irritation under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the fourteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2020/217.
