A slight to mild conjunctival reaction was seen in all treated eyes one hour after application of the compound. Generally there was very little change by 24 hours and thereafter the reactions subsided slowly with 3/3 washed and 2/3 unwashed eyes returning to normal as follows:- 72 hours (2/3 washed eyes), 6 days (1/3 washed eyes) and 10 days (2/3 unwashed eyes). The remaining unwashed eye still showed a very slight reaction at the termination of the study on day 14. Staining of the conjunctivae by the compound was seen in all eyes for up to 48 hours in the washed eyes, 10 days for 2/3 unwashed eyes and the duration for the remaining eye.

A slight corneal reaction consisting of slight opacity and damage to the surface epithelium was seen in 2/3 unwashed eyes at 24 and 48 hours. Staining of the cornea by the compound was also seen in the unwashed eyes for up to 10 days for 2/3 and the duration for the remaining one.

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008)

Conclusions:

The substance is not irritating for rabbit eyes.

Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for eye irritation according to The method "Hazardous Substances Regulations" under the U.S. federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.12 (February 1965). During the test 5 male and 1 female rabbits are treated with 100 mg of the test compound. After 14 days only one animal (n. 13) showed a redness score (1), nevertheless in order to evaluate the irritation potential of the test item this animal was not considerd because his eyes were not rinsed after application.

The substance is considered to be not irritant for rabbit eyes.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information

Test on skin and eye irritation are available on similar substance 1. The complete hypothesis and justification for the read across approach has been attached in section 13.

 

Skin irritation assessment:

The assessment was based on single study (Huntsman, 1975) according to the method of the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.11 (February 1965). During the study only one rabbit shows a signs of erythema on intact skin. Oedema formation was recorded with 4 rabbits from very slight to slight, but all signs of irritation are fully recovered within 72 hours.

No animal showed a mean value for erythema or edema reaction ≥ 2.3

 

Eye irritation assessment:

The assessment was based on single study (Huntsman, 1975) irritation according to the method of the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.12 (February 1965). During the study 5 male and 1 female rabbits were exposed to test article instilled into the conjunctival sac. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits for one minute with warm water. At the end of the observation period (14 days) all the irritation effect were fully reversible except for one rabbit that showed a residual redness score (1).

Considering that the eye of the animal was not rinsed and the observation period has a duration of 14 days instead of 21 as reported in the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008), the score was not considered for the evaluation of the irritation potential according the CLP Regulation.

No animal showed a mean value ≥ 1 for corneal opacity, ≥ 2 for conjunctival redness or ≥ 2 for conjunctival opacity

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008), skin Irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4 hours.

The substance shows a very low interaction between with the rabbit skin. The values of erythema and oedema are below the trigger values for classification, therefore no classification is warranted according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008).

According to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008) eye irritation means the production of changes in the eye following the application of test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which are fully reversible within 21 days of application.

The substance does not show eye effects with values above the trigger value for the classification. therfore the substance is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008).
