TEST SITE
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, the dorsal fur was clipped with electric clippers, exposing an area of approximately 150 square centimeters (10x15 cm²). Whenever considered necessary the treated skin areas were re-clipped at least 3 hours before the observations, to facilitate scoring. Each animal was treated by dermal application of 0.5 grams of the test substance. The test substance was moistened with 0.5 ml of the vehicle and applied to the skin of one flank, using a metalline patch# of 2x3 cm. The patch was mounted on Micropore tape, which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

- Time after start of exposure: 4h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality/Moribundity checks: Twice daily
Body weights: Day of treatment (prior to application).

Details on study design:

METHOD:
Each animal was treated by instillation of 53.1 ± 0.9 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. The other eye remained untreated and served as the reference control.
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. Any bright green stained area, indicating epithelial damage, was estimated as a percentage of the total corneal area.

Conclusions:

An eye irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 in male rabbits was conducted according to OECD 405 and in accordance GLP guidelines. SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.

Executive summary:

An eye irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 in male rabbits was conducted according to OECD 405 and in accordance with GLP guidelines. Single samples of approximately 53 mg of SPS-100 (a volume of approximately 0.1 ml) were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation. Instillation of the test substance resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which was seen as redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 48 hours in two animals and within 7 days in the other animal. Based on the results,SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.

Additional information

Skin:

A primary skin irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 was performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in accordance with GLP principles.Three male rabbits were exposed to 0.5 grams of SPS-100, applied onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure. No skin irritation was caused by 4 hours exposure to SPS-100. Based on the results,SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.

Eye:

An eye irritation/corrosion study with SPS-100 in male rabbits was conducted according to OECD 405 and in accordance with GLP guidelines.Single samples of approximately 53 mg of SPS-100 (a volume of approximately 0.1 ml) were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation. Instillation of the test substance resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which was seen as redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 48 hours in two animals and within 7 days in the other animal. Based on the results,SPS-100 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data shows that SPS-100 is not corrosive and not irritating to the skin and therefore does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).

 

The available data shows that SPS-100 is not an eye irritant and therefore does not need classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
