Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is slightly irritating but does not warrant classification according to CLP.
Executive summary:

Dermal irritation of the test substance (CAS 91744-23-9, Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate) was investigated in a study according to OECD 404 and GLP. 0.5 g of the test substance were applied to the shaved skin of three New Zealand White rabbits (semi-occlusive coverage). Total exposure was 4 h. Thereafter, the test substance was removed using warm water.

Observations were made after 30-60 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 h, as well as 6, 8, and 14 days after patch removal. An adjacent area of untreated skin served as control.

Mean erythema and edema scores after 24, 48, and 72 h were 1.67 and 1.11, respectively. Both were fully reversible within 14 days.

Based on the results of this test the substance is slightly irritating but does not warrant classification according to CLP.

Executive summary:

Eye irritation of the test substance (CAS 91744-23-9, Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate) was investigated in a study according to OECD 405 and GLP. 0.1 cm³ of the test substance were instilled in one eye each of the three New Zealand White rabbits. Total exposure was 24 h. Thereafter, the test substance was removed using warm physiological saline.

Observations were made after 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after administration. The untreated eye of each animal served as control.

Marked hyperaemias of some blood vessels could be observed in all animals 1 h after application, after 24 hours no effects was noticed. Mean scores for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness and conjunctivae chemosis after 24, 48, and 72 h were 0 for each endpoint.

Based on the results of this test the substance is classified as not irritating.

Additional information

Justification for read-across

Reliable data on the skin and eye irritation potential of glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) are not available. The assessment was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).

Skin irritation

CAS 91744-13-7

The skin irritation potential of glycerides, C14-18 and C16-22-unsatd, mono- and di- was investigated in a GLP-conform study performed according to OECD guideline 404 (Steiling, 1990). 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied for 4 h to the shaved skin of 3 Kleinrussen, Chbb:HM rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions. The untreated site of the animals served as control. The scoring of skin reactions (erythema and edema) was performed 1, 24, 48, 72 h as well as 7 days after removal of the dressing. In one animal, slight erythema persisted up to the 72 h, but was fully reversible within the 7-day observation period. In the two other animals, slight erythema was either seen at the 1 or 48 h reading, but was fully reversible 24 h or 72 h after patch removal. Slight edema was only noted in one animal at both the 48 and 72 h reading time points, but fully reversed during the 7-day observation period. No signs of systemic toxicity were seen during the study. The mean erythema and edema scores over the 24, 48 and 72 h reading time points were 0.3/0/1.3 and 0/0/7 for the 3 animals. Thus, the test substance is considered to be non-irritating to the skin.

CAS 91744-23-9

The dermal irritation potential of glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate was investigated in a study according to OECD 404 and GLP (Kruegar, 1996c). 0.5 g of the test substance was applied to the shaved skin of three New Zealand White rabbits (semi-occlusive coverage). Total exposure was 4 h. Thereafter, the test substance was removed using warm water. Observations were made after 30-60 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 h, as well as 6, 8, and 14 days after patch removal. An adjacent area of untreated skin served as control. Mean erythema and edema scores after 24, 48, and 72 h were 1.67 and 1.11, respectively. Both were fully reversible within 14 days. Based on the results of this test the substance is slightly irritating but does not warrant classification according to CLP.

Eye irritation

CAS 91744-13-7

The eye irritation potential of glycerides, C14-18 and C16-22-unsatd, mono- and di- was investigated according to OECD guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (Steiling, 1990). The undiluted test material (0.1 mL) was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 male Kleinrussen (Chbb:HM) rabbits each. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and scored 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application. No corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctivae or chemosis were observed in any animal at any reading time point. All animals showed slight to moderate exudation exclusively at the 1 h reading time point. No further local or systemic toxic effects were reported. The mean cornea, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis scores after 24, 48, and 72 h were 0 for all 3 animals, respectively. Thus, the test substance was not considered as eye irritant.

 

CAS 91744-23-9

The eye irritation potential of glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate was investigated in a study according to OECD 405 and GLP (Kruegar, 1996d). 0.1 cm³ of the test substance were instilled in one eye each of the three New Zealand White rabbits. Total exposure was 24 h. Thereafter, the test substance was removed using warm physiological saline. Observations were made after 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after administration. The untreated eye of each animal served as control. Marked hyperaemias of some blood vessels could be observed in all animals 1 h after application, after 24 hours no effects was noticed. Mean scores for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness and conjunctivae chemosis after 24, 48, and 72 h were 0 for each endpoint. Based on the results of this test the substance is classified as not irritating.

Overall conclusion for skin and eye irritation

The reliable data available for the read-across analogue substances did not show any skin or eye irritation effects. Therefore, glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) is not considered to be a skin irritant or an eye irritant.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from structural analogues. All available studies are adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substances and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from structural analogues. All available studies are adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substances and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis. Therefore, based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
