Description of key information
Key in vivo studies for skin and eye irritation/corrosion were available for iron sulfide, demonstrating that the substance is not irritating for skin and eye. Read across was not applied for these endpoints, as it is known that other iron salts may be more water soluble and dissociate into possible irritating or corrosive constituents.

- Executive summary:
The acute dermal irritation/corrosion study in New Zealand White Rabbits was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of iron sulfide (Tribotecc ®-Ferrostar). A quantity of 0.5 g of the test item was made into paste by adding 0.2 mL of de-ionised water on a cotton gauze of 6 cm2 applied to the prepared area of skin under occlusive dressing. After 4 hours contact period, the treated area was washed with de-ionised water. The study was conducted in a stepwise manner (i.e., one rabbit was dosed, followed by two additional rabbits). The degree of irritation was evaluated and scored by CLP classification method at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post removal of the test patch. The total mean score of skin reaction was ‘0’ at all the observation periods, indicating that the test item did not cause dermal irritation to rabbits. There were no toxic signs, pre-terminal deaths and no skin reactions observed. There were no abnormalities detected at necropsy.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The grades of ocular reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system, as per Draize J H, (1977) “Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests” In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p. 48 to 49 (Table 1)) and Classification according to “Modified Version of the Kay J H and Calandra J C. (1962) System” (Table 2).
The numerical values corresponding to each animal, tissue and observation time were recorded. The data relating to the conjunctivae were designated by the letters A (redness), B (chemosis) and C (discharge), those relating to the iris designated by the letter D and those relating to the cornea by the letters E (degree of opacity) and F (area of opacity). For each tissue the score was calculated as follows:
Score for conjunctivae = (A + B + C) x 2
Score for iris = D x 5
Score for cornea = (E x F) x 5
Maximum total score possible = 110
Using the numerical data obtained, a modified version of the system described by Kay J H and Calandra J C. 1962., (J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 13:281-289) was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test item. This is achieved by adding together the scores for the cornea, iris and conjunctivae for each time point for each rabbit. The group means of the total scores for each observation is calculated. The highest of these group means (the maximum group mean score) together with the persistence of the reactions enables the classification of the eye irritancy potential of the test item.

Based on the results of the present study the test item Tribotecc® - Ferrostar however does not need to be classified as per Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. - Executive summary:
The acute eye irritation / corrosion study in New Zealand White rabbits was conducted to evaluate the eye irritation potential of iron sulfide (Tribotecc® - Ferrostar). On test day one, a quantity of 100 mg (0.1g) of test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then held together gently for about one second to prevent loss of test item. The right eye remained untreated and served as the reference control. All the rabbits (one rabbit for initial test and two rabbits for confirmatory test) were treated in a similar manner. The eyes of each rabbit were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and scored. The grades of ocular reaction were assessed as per Draize. There were no toxic signs and pre-terminal deaths and no abnormality was detected at necropsy in any of the animals. Based on the highest total mean eye reaction score of 6.67 at 24 hours post instillation and together with the persistence of the reaction the test item Tribotecc® - Ferrostar is a “Mild Irritant” according to “Modified Version of the Kay J H and Calandra J C. (1962) System”. Based on the results of the present study the test item Tribotecc® - Ferrostar however does not need to be classified as per Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Additional information
A key study for acute dermal irritation/corrosion study was conducted with iron sulfide (Tribotecc®-Ferrostar) in New Zealand White rabbits (Prakash 2012a). A quantity of 0.5 g of the test item was made into paste by adding 0.2 mL of de-ionised water on a cotton gauze of 6 cm2applied to the prepared area of skin under occlusive dressing. After 4 hours contact period, the treated area was washed with de-ionised water.
The study was conducted in a stepwise manner (i.e., one rabbit was dosed, followed by two additional rabbits).The degree of irritation was evaluated and scored by CLP classification method at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post removal of the test patch. The total mean score of skin reaction was ‘0’ at all the observation periods, indicating that the test item did not cause dermal irritation to rabbits. There were no toxic signs, pre-terminal deaths and no skin reactions observed. There were no abnormalities detected at necropsy.
A key study for acute eye irritation/corrosion was conducted with iron sulfide (Tribotecc® - Ferrostar) in New Zealand White rabbits (Praksh, 2012b). A quantity of 100 mg (0.1g) of test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball and was examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and scored. There were no toxic signs and preterminal deaths and no abnormality was detected at necropsy in any of the animals. Based on the highest total mean eye reaction Draize score of 6.67 at 24 hours post instillation and together with the persistence of the reaction the test item Tribotecc® - Ferrostar was a “Mild Irritant” according to “Modified Version of the
Kay J H and Calandra J C. (1962) System”, however based on the results of the present study the test item does not need to be classified as per Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
In vitro studies were waived because in vivo studies were availble at the time of submission.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Iron sulfide does not have to be classified for dermal and eye irritation / corrosion according the CLP No. 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008.
