Number of animals:

Details on study design:
An area of at least 36 cm was shaved on both flanks of the animals approximately 24 hours before treatment. A gauze patch (approx.. 12-16 cm ) bearing 0.5 ml of the test article was applied to the right flank of each animal. A control gauze patch was applied to the contralateral flank. Both patches were moistened before application with distilled water.

The patches were loosely covered with an aluininum foil (approx. 36 cm ) and held in place for 4 hours by an adhesive tape (Isoplast, Isoplast AG, CH-5200 Brugg).

The animals were checked daily for systemic Symptoms and mortality (only findings reported).

The skin reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removing the gauze patches according to the OECD scoring system.

Bodyweight was recorded at start and on days 3 and 7 of the test.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal, or iridal effects were seen in this study. Conjunctival redness was seen in all 3 treated eyes 1 hour after instillation (Grade 2), and in 2 of 3 treated eyes at 24 hours (Grade 1). Grade 1 chemosis was seen in all 3 treated eyes 1 hours after instillation. All eyes were normal at 48 hours post-treatment. See attached data table.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Not classified by CLP criteria
Conclusions:
In a guideline (OECD 405) in vivo eye irritation study, Irgastab CH 302 was not irritating to the rabbit eye. No corneal, or iridal effects were seen in this study. Conjunctival redness was seen in all 3 treated eyes 1 hour after instillation (Grade 2), and in 2 of 3 treated eyes at 24 hours (Grade 1). Grade 1 chemosis was seen in all 3 treated eyes 1 hours after instillation. All eyes were normal at 48 hours post-treatment.

Additional information

Skin irritation: individual animal erythema and edema scores (ave 24, 48, 72 h) ranged from 0.33 to 1.33. All reactions were fully reversible within 7 days.

Eye irritation: No corneal, or iridal effects were seen.  Individual animal conjuctival redness and chemosis scores (ave 24, 48, 72 h) ranged from 0 to 0.33.  All reactions were fully reversible within 48 hours.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, Irgastab CH 302 is not classified as a skin or eye irritant according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
