Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item showed a primary irritation score of 1.11 when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye, with a full reversibility at 72 hours.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred.The body weight gain of all animals was within the normal range of variability. No staining of the cornea was observed at any of the reading times.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Silatrizole (encoded "G4375") induced slight irritations being reversible within 72 hours. Therefore the test material is not classified as irritant to the eyes according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP) and according to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 (1987 version) and in compliance with GLP, 3 healthy rabbits of the New Zealand White strain (1 male and 2 females) were exposed to 0.1 g of undiluted test item Silatrizole (encoded "G4375"), previously ground in a mill, in their left eye while the right eye remained untreated and served as control. The treated eye of the animals was left unrinsed. The eyes were examined and the changes in the cornea, iris and conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h.

Slight signs of ocular irritation were observed at 1h, 24h and 48h. All ocular reactions reverted after 72 hours. In this study, Silatrizole is a slight eye irritant in rabbits.

Under the test conditions, Silatrizole is not classified as irritant to the eyes according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP).

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
