IRRITATION
Assessment of erythema was not possible in any animal t hour after treatment due to staining at the test site. The test item did not however elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the remaining examinations (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0.

CORROSION
With the exception of the staining, no irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.
Other effects:
VIABILITY/MORTALITY/CLINICAL SIGNS
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.

COLORATION
A marked red staining was present at the test site of all animals t hour after treatment. Light red staining continued to be observed in one animal up to 72 hours after treatment and in another animal up to 10days after treatment. A light red staining was still evident in the remaining animal 14 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 06, 2001), with the exception of the red staining which persisted in one animal to termination of the test, RED RWa 4565 is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin and is not classified according to CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of RED RWa 4565 was investigated by topical semiocclusive application of 0.5 g to the intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1 , 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7, 10 and 14 days after removal of the dressing.

Assessment of erythema was not possible in any animal 1 hour after treatment due to staining at the test site. The application of RED RWa 4565 to the skin did not however elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the remaining examinations (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0.

The application of RED RWa 4565 resulted in marked red staining at the test site of all animals 1 hour after treatment. Light red staining continued to be observed in all animals during the observation period and was still evident in one animal 14 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals.

IRRITATION
Application of the test item to healthy rabbit conjunctivae resulted in a primary eye irritation score of 1.11.
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately.
The individual mean score for corneal opacity and iris was 0.00 for all three animals.
The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 0.33, 0.33 and 1.33 for reddening and 0.33, 0.33 and 0.67 for chemosis, respectively.

No abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the measuring intervals.
Assessment of reddening of the conjunctivae was not possible in any animal at the 1-hour examination due to the presence of staining in the eye and/or conjunctival sac. Slight to moderate reddening was, however, noted in all animals 24 hours after treatment and slight reddening continued to be observed in one animal up to the 72 hour examination.. Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids or swelling with lids about half closed was apparent in all animals 1 hour after treatment. Slight swelling was observed in all animals at the 24hour examination and again in one animal at the 48 hour examination.
Full assessment of the sclerae was also prevented at the 1 hour examination due to ocular staining. Slight reddening of the sclerae was however subsequently observed in all animals during the observation period.
Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to the lids was evident in all animals 1 hour after treatment. lncreased ocular discharge was similarly observed in one animal at the 24 hour examination.

CORROSION
No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the reading times.
Other effects:
VIABILITY/MORTALITY AND CLINICAL SIGNS
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.

COLORATION
Marked red staining was present in the treated eye of all animals 1 hour after instillation of the test item. Slight staining continued to be observed in all animals during the entire observation period and was still evident at termination,21 days after treatment.
Red remnants of the test item were observed in the eye or conjunctival sac of 1 animal 1 hour after treatment.

BODY WEIGHTS
The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability. For results, please refer to section "Any other information on results incl. tables" hereafter.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on criteria defined in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, RED RWa 4565 is classified as Serious eye damage (category 1). Eye irritation test shows persistence of red staining at the end of the 21 days recovery period which is according to the CLP guideline a reason for Serious eye damage Cat 1 (discoloration of the cornea by a dye substance).
Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of RED RWa 4565 was investigated by instillation of 0.1 g into one eye of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days after test item application. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48 and72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion.

The primary eye irritation score was calculated by totaling the mean cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and then dividing the resulting total by the number of data points. The primary eye irritation score was 1.11 (max. 13).

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately. The individual mean score for corneal opacity and iris was 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 0.33, 0.33 and 1.33 for reddening and 0.33, 0.33 and 0.67 for chemosis, respectively.

The instillation of RED RWa 4565 into the eye resulted in mild, early-onset and transient ocular changes, such as reddening of the conjunctivae and sclerae, discharge and chemosis. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 7 days after treatment. Where evaluation was possible, no abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal. No corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals. A marked red staining was, however, present in the treated eye of all animals t hour after instillation of the test item. Slight staining continued to be observed in all animals during the entire observation period and was still evident at termination, 21 days after treatment.

Based upon the referred classification (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 06, 2001), due to the irreversible red staining present in the treated eyes of all animals, RED RWa 4565 is considered to be "R41-Risk of serious damage to eyes".

Based on criteria defined in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, RED RWa 4565 is classified as Serious eye damage (category 1). Eye irritation test shows persistence of red staining at the end of the 21 days recovery period which is according to the CLP guideline a reason for Serious eye damage Cat 1 (discoloration of the cornea by a dye substance).
