Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Elevage du Gérome, France
- Age at study initiation: 12 to 13 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2,45 to 2,91 kg
- Housing: individual housing
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 to 23
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70
- Air changes (per hr): 15 volumes per hour
- Photoperiod: 12 hrs dark/ 12 hrs light

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0,1 mL pure test item
Duration of treatment / exposure:
One instillation made, then observation during 72h and more if necessary
Observation period (in vivo):
Up to 22 day if effects visible
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 females
Details on study design:
Observations at 1, 24, 48 and 72h were made to determine
- conjunctive chemosis
- conjunctive enanthema
- iris lesion
- corneal opacity
The 4 observation times were suumed for the three animals for determining of the maximal ocular irritation index. (OI max)
The scale is then given:
OI max <= 15 : slightly irritant
15< OI max <= 30 : moderate irritant
30< OI max <= 50 : irritant
50< OI max: very irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
With a maximum mean irritation score of 9.3, Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was slightly irritant to eyes according to french protocol and scaling but not classified according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was tested in vivo for eye irritation using OECD 405 test guideline, but the study was not performed under GLP conditions. No deviation to the guideline was noted and the study was considered as reliable but quoted with reliability 2.

Three New Zealand white rabbits were tested with 0,1 mL pure test item and scoring was performed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour.

Slight conjuntival effects were noted on 3 animals 1 hour after instillation (enanthema slight to moderate with slight chemosis) and were fully reversible within 48h after treatment. No other clinical or systemic signs were noted.

With a maximum mean irritation score of 9.3, Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was slightly irritant to eyes according to french protocol and scaling but not classified according to GHS criteria.
