Description of key information

Skin: A single 24-Hour, occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced a very slight erythema response in two animals at the 24-hour observation which had fully reversed by the 72-hour observation. The substance is not a skin irritant in rabbits.
Eye: A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation. The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The intact and abraded skin of 3 rabbits was used. The hair was clipped from the backs of the rabbits using angora clippers. Four areas of the back, places ca. 10 cm apart were designated for the patches. Areas 2and 3 were abraded by making four epidermal incisions (two perpendicular to two others in the area of the patch). The patches consisted of layers of light gauze cut in aquares (2.5 cm sides). The patches were secured to the area by thin bands of adhesive tape. The material was introduced (0.5 mL) beneath the patch. The entire trunks of the animals were then wrapped in clear plastic trunk bands. The test material and control, if using, were applied so that there were two applications to each of 3 animals (one intact, one abraded). The animals were immobilised for the 24 hour exposure period. The evaluations were made at 24 and 72 hours after application.

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act.

Method

A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three rabbits, formed by gently pulling the lower li d away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed one hour after installation and then daily for a period of 7 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the numerical evaluation (Draize, J.H, 1977).

Results

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation.

Conclusion

The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

The justification for read-across to the substance EC 255 -485 -3 is attached in Section 13 of the IUCLID.

Skin

The key study on the read-across substance EC 255 -485 -3 was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of rabbits.

The intact and abraded skin of 3 rabbits was used. The hair was clipped from the backs of the rabbits using angora clippers. Four areas of the back, places ca. 10 cm apart were designated for the patches. Areas 2and 3 were abraded by making four epidermal incisions (two perpendicular to two others in the area of the patch). The patches consisted of layers of light gauze cut in aquares (2.5 cm sides). The patches were secured to the area by thin bands of adhesive tape. The material was introduced (0.5 mL) beneath the patch. The entire trunks of the animals were then wrapped in clear plastic trunk bands. The test material and control, if using, were applied so that there were two applications to each of 3 animals (one intact, one abraded). The animals were immobilised for the 24 hour exposure period. The evaluations were made at 24 and 72 hours after application and scored according to the Draize scheme.

A single 24-Hour, occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of three rabbits produced a very slight erythema response in two animals at the 24-hour observation which had fully reversed by the 72-hour observation. No other irritation responses were noted.

The substance is not a skin irritant in rabbits. In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin irritation is not required.

Eye

in vitro

The key in vitro study on the substance was performed using the the MatTek Corporation EpiOcular Tissue Model in vitro toxicity testing system.

After the appropriate tissue preparation, 100 µL of the test article (10% in corn oil) and negative control (distilled water) were added to the millicells containing the EpiOcular samples. The six well plates containing the dosed EpiOcular samples were then incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 and >= 90% humidity.

After the appropriate exposure period, each insert was individually removed from its plate and rinsed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to remove any residual material. Each was then rinsed for a second and third time. Following the three rinses, each Millicell was submerged in 5 mL of assay media for 10 mins at room temperature. This final soak removed any residual absorbed article. After the 10 mins, excess liquid was shaken off and each EpiOcular tissue was placed into 300 µL of MTT solution. The EpiOcular samples were then returned to the incubator.

After the 3 hour MTT exposure, each insert was removed and gently rinsed with PBS to remove any residual MTT solution. Excess PBS was shaken from each of the inserts, which were then blotted on the bottom on paper towels. The inserts were then placed into one well of a 24 well extraction plate. Each insert was then immersed in 2 mL of extration at room temperature overnight. After the extraction procedure,. the liquid within each insert was decanted back intothe well from which it was taken. The remaining extractant solution was then agitated and a 200 µL of each extract was removed for evaluation. A Dynatech MR 4000 Automatic Microplate Reader was used to determine the absorbance of each extract at 570 nm. With the absorbance of a negative control (distilled water) defined as 100%, the percentage absorbancies of the test and reference articles were determined.

The test material (10% in corn oil) elicited the following results

Exposure time              % inhibition              %Viability

5 min                             106                            -6

1 hour                            102                            -2

4 hours                           100                            0

The resulting ET50 would be greater than 256 minutes. The estimated Draize score is 0.

Under the conditions of the test, the test substance (10% in corn oil) is not irritating in vitro.

in vivo

The key in vivo study on the read-across substance EC 255 -485 -3 was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act.

A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three rabbits, formed by gently pulling the lower li d away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed one hour after installation and then daily for a period of 7 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the numerical evaluation (Draize, J.H, 1977).

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation.

The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the read-across to EC 255 -485 -3:

Skin: The test material is not an irritant to the skin of rabbits

Eye: The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for irritation is not required.
