Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River (UK) Limited, Margate, Kent, England
- Age at study initiation: 3 months
- Weight at study initiation: 2.41 - 2.75 kg
- Housing: The animals were housed individually in stainless steel cages (dimensions
77.2 x 70.1 x 48 cm) with a Noryl moulded dual level interior and perforated floor beneath which was an absorbent paper lined tray.
- Water and Diet: Each cage was supplied with an automatic watering valve (domestic mains) and a food hopper. Each animal was also offered a supplement of hay or organically grown cabbage ca. twice weekly.
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19°C - 21°C
- Humidity (%): 58%
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/dark cycles

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Remarks:

Applied topically under water moistened gauze patches (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Controls:

other: contralateral zone of same animal

Amount / concentration applied:

500 mg

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4hr

Observation period:

1hr, 24hr, 48hr and 72hr after dressing removed

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

All the animals were checked for viability early in the morning and again as late as possible on each day.
All the animals were examined for reaction to treatment. The onset, intensity and duration of any signs were recorded.
On the day prior to test material application, the hair was clipped from an area (approximately 8 cmx 8 cm) across the dorsal trunk of each rabbit. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin.
On the following day, the dorsal trunk of each rabbit was wetted and treated with test material applied topically under water moistened gauze patches (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm).
Each patch was then covered with semi-occlusive tape (Micropore, 3M Medical Surgical Division, USA) and elastic bandage (Smith and Nephew, Hull, England) wrapped round the torso of the rabbit.
After a contact period of 4 hours, the patch was removed and the skin wiped with sterile water. The test site was delineated

Other effects:

There was no sign of dermal effects or define the dermal effects noted.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Vehicle:

Controls:

other: other: left eye of each animal was untreated

Amount / concentration applied:

Amount instilled (weight equivalent of 0.1 ml)
0.0365 g - Animal 1
0.0365 g - Animal 2
0.0363 g - Animal3

Duration of treatment / exposure:

0.0365 g of test material was placed into the right eye of three rabbits by gently pulling the lower eye lid away from the eyeball to form a sac into which the test material was dropped. The lids were then gently held together for 1-2 seconds. The left eye was left untreated to serve as the control.

Observation period (in vivo):

One rabbit was treated first and observed for signs of severe irritation for up to 24 hours. As none were noted, the remaining 2 rabbits were treated in the same way
The eyes were examined using a hand held magnifier and pen torch 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 female rabbits

Details on study design:

Both eyes of each rabbit were examined prior to dosing and no ocular defects were detected.
All the animals were examined for reaction to treatment. The onset, intensity and duration of any signs were recorded.
The eyes were examined using a hand held magnifier and pen torch 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material.

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, it is considered that the test substance is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
No responses were noted in any animal during any of the observation periods.

Executive summary:

One group of three female rabbits was treated with the weight equivalent of

0.1ml of the test material instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye. The treated eye was then examined for evidence of irritation 1,24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation.

No responses were noted in any animal during any of the observation periods.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information

Both skin and eye irritation in vivo studies have been completed with no irritation potential noted. Therefore, no potential for corrosivity.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The acute dermal irritation potential of the test material was investigated in New Zealand White rabbits. No oedema or erythema was noted in any
animal at any of the observation periods. There were no additional observations noted.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
One group of three female rabbits was treated with the weight equivalent of
0.1ml of the test material instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye. The treated eye was then examined for evidence of irritation 1,24, 48 and 72
hours after instillation. No responses were noted in any animal during any of the observation periods.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Both skin and eye irritation in vivo studies have been completed with no irritation potential noted.
