ANIMALS AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
- Three New Zealand White (Hsdlf:NZW) strain rabbits were supplied by Envigo RMS Ltd, Leicestershire UK.
- At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.56 to 2.76 kg and were 12 to 20 weeks old.
- After an acclimatisation period of at least 5 days, each animal was given a unique number within the study by writing with black indelible marker-pen on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.
- Animals were individually housed in suspended cages.
- Free access to mains drinking water and food (2930C Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Envigo RMS Ltd, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
- The diet and drinking water were considered not contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Temperature and elative humidity were set to achieve limits of 17 °C to 23 °C and 30 % to 70 % respectively.
- The rate of air exchange was at least 15 changes per hour.
- Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness.
- The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items, which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Individual scores and mean scores for erythema/eschar and edema are given in Table 1 (attached).
- Very slight erythema and very slight edema were noted at both treated skin sites immediately after patch removal.
- Very slight erythema with or without very slight edema were noted at both treated skin sites at the 1 hour after patch removal and at 24, 48 and 72-hour observations.
- Treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7-day observation.
Other effects:
- Individual body weights and body weight changes are given in Table 2 (attached).
- Both animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item produced individual mean scores of 1.0 for erythema (both animals) and 0.0 and 1.0 respectively for edema. However,the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 because the mean scores for both animals calculated using data from 24, 48 and 72 hour observations were below the stated limits for erythema and edema and fully reversed within seven days. No corrosive effects were noted.
Executive summary:

INTRODUCTION

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 24 April 2002) and Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B.4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation).

RESULTS

A single 4 -hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of two rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight edema. Both treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7 -day observation.

CONCLUSION

The test item produced individual mean scores of 1.0 for erythema (both animals) and 0.0 and 1.0 respectively for edema. However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 because the mean scores for both animals calculated using data from 24, 48 and 72 hour observations were below the stated limits for erythema and edema and fully reversed within seven days. No corrosive effects were noted.

Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit using a procedure designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 02 October 2012) and EU Method B.5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008.

RESULTS

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation and moderate conjunctival irritation. Both eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

CONCLUSION

The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 13.5 and was considered to be a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra system. However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 because the mean scores for two animals calculated using data from 24, 48 and 72 hour observations were below the stated limits for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival redness and chemosis and fully reversed.

Additional information

Skin irritation in vivo

The key study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of an analogue test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 24 April 2002) and Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B.4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation).

 

A single 4 -hour, semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of two rabbits produced very slight erythema and very slight edema. Both treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7 -day observation.

 

The analogue test item produced individual mean scores of 1.0 for erythema (both animals) and 0.0 and 1.0 respectively for edema. However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 because the mean scores for both animals calculated using data from 24, 48 and 72 hour observations were below the stated limits for erythema and edema and fully reversed within seven days. No corrosive effects were noted.

Eye irritation in vivo

The key study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of an analogue test item to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit using a procedure designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 02 October 2012) and EU Method B.5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008.

 

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation and moderate conjunctival irritation. Both eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

 

The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 13.5 and was considered to be a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra system. However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 because the mean scores for two animals calculated using data from 24, 48 and 72 hour observations were below the stated limits for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival redness and chemosis and fully reversed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin: Scores for erythema and edema did not fall within the range requiring classification during investigation of the effects of an analogue test material and effects were reversed by the end of the seven day observation period. Classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 is therefore not required.

 

Eye: No corneal opacity was observed during investigation of an analogue test substance and iridial inflammation, conjunctival redness and chemosis were reversed by the end of the 72 hour observation period. Classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 is therefore not required.
