Results and discussion
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- maximum mean total score (MMTS)
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 4 hours
- Score:
- < 2
- Reversibility:
- not specified
- Remarks on result:
- other: In vitro study
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- In vitro scores were as follows:
-Ve control (saline solution) = 1.2
+Ve control (known irritant = imidazole) = 110.1
Test Item = 1.1 - Other effects:
- No other effects observed
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the in vitro test results for the effect of this substance on bovine corneal opacity and permeability, the score results were of the same order as the -ve control used (saline solution) i.e. ~ 1.0 and thus deemed to be not irritating to eyes. (An In Vitro irritancy score of >55.1 would need to be achieved before a material would be classed as an ocular corrosive or severe irritant).
Whilst in-vitro tests may not be as conclusive as in-vivo testing, there is sufficient evidence based on in-vivo tests that have been carried out on
Laponite type 2 ( a read-across substance of virtually identical composition and structure) and also from the fact that no ocular issues have been reported during 40+ years of manufacturing and handling this material, that there is no justification for carrying out new in-vivo tests. - Executive summary:
Laponite type 1 is not an ocular corrosive or severe irritant. No classification necessary.
