Adequacy of study:
key study

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Meets the criteria for classification as Reliable with restrictions according to Klimisch et al (1997) This read-across is based on the hypothesis that the Source and Target substances will have similar toxicological and ecotoxicological properties due to their close physical-chemical and structural similarities. For example, both the Source and Target substances are monoconstituents which share structural similarities and contain the same functional groups (thio ether, sulfonate, vicinal nitrile groups).

SCORING SYSTEM: Initial pain reaction assessed using a six point scale.Assessment of ocular damage at 1h, 24, 48 & 72h according to the numerical evaluation given in Draize (Draize, J.H, 1977). A modified version of the system described by Kay J.H. and Calandra J.C. (1962) was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test material.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: light source from a standard opthalmoscope

Irritant / corrosive response data:
A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation, moderate conjunctival irritation and petechial haemorrhage on the nictitating membrane. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 14 day observation.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The Source substance has a comprehensive data set generated for a REACH Annex VIII registration and this along with its similarity to the Target substance are consider sufficient to consider the read-across an appropriate adaptation to the standard information requirements of Annex VII of the REACH regulation for the Target substance in accordance with the provisions of Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH regulation. Please see the attached document in the Background Material section for further details on the justification of the read across approach.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The source test material produced a maximum group mean score of 12.5 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

The source test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant according to EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC for Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Executive summary:

Introduction

This study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the source test material to the eye of the New Zealand White Rabbit. The study was designed to be compatible with the following guidelines:

- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 'Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion' (adopted 02 October 2012)

- Method B5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.

This read-across is based on the hypothesis that the Source and Target substances will have similar toxicological and ecotoxicological properties due to their close physical-chemical and structural similarities. For example, both the Source and Target substances are monoconstituents which share structural similarities and contain the same functional groups (thio ether, sulfonate, vicinal nitrile groups).

Results

A single application of the source test material to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation, moderate conjunctival irritation and petechial haemorrhage on the nictitating membrane. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 14 day observation.

Conclusion

The source test material produced a maximum group mean score of 12.5 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.
