Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From August 6 to 13, 1984
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
Study comparable to OECD test guideline No. 405 with deviations not affecting the integrity of the result. Even if full reversibility was not achieved for conjunctival reactions within the observation period of 7 days, only minimal responses (score = 1) persisted at the end of the observation period. Complete reversibility would have probably occurred if the observation period was extended to 21 days, as required by the current OECD TG 405.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 1 for redness, 1 for chemosis and 0.0 for iris lesions and 0.0 for corneal opacity. Animals showed conjunctival reactions (redness, chemosis and discharge) which were not fully reversible within 7 days.
Even if full reversibility was not achieved for conjunctival reactions within the observation period of 7 days, only minimal responses (score = 1) persisted at the end of the observation period on 4 out of 6 animals. Complete reversibility would have probably occurred if the observation period was extended to 21 days, as required by the current OECD TG 405;   Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to US-FHSA method, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits while the remained untreated eye served as control. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of test material. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 4 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale.  

The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 1 for redness, 1 for chemosis and 0.0 for iris lesions and 0.0 for corneal opacity. Animals showed conjunctival reactions (redness, chemosis and discharge) which were not fully reversible within 7 days.

Even if full reversibility was not achieved for conjunctival reactions within the observation period of 7 days, only minimal responses (score = 1) persisted at the end of the observation period on 4 out of 6 animals. Complete reversibility would have probably occurred if the observation period was extended to 21 days, as required by the current OECD TG 405;   Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

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