Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Animals:
Three female albino New Zealand rabbits were supplied by Hypharm (F-49450 La Renaudiere). The animals were kept during a minimal 5-day acclimatisation period. At the beginning of the test, the animals were 11 weeks old. They were identified prior to inclusion in the test by means of a numbered ring on the edge of one ear.

Housing:
Each animal was kept in an individual box installed in conventional air conditioned animal husbanding:
The temperature and relative humidity of the main test were controlled to remain within target ranges of 17°C to 23°C and 30% to 70%, respectively.
The rate of air exchange was at least ten changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (07.00 to 19.00) and twelve hours darkness.

Food and drink:
Drinking water (tap-water from public distribution system) and foodstuff (ENVIGO – 2030C) were supplied ad libitum.
Microbiological and chemical analyses of the water were carried out once every six months by Bureau Veritas - Eurofins (FRANCE).

Treatment:
0.1 g of the test item was instilled, after being reduced in fine powder, into the conjunctival sac of one eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test item. The other eye remained untreated serving as control.
Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the responses in the first animal, two additional animals were treated under the same experimental conditions.

Grading of reactions:
Ocular examinations were performed on both right and left eyes 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g of the test item was instilled, after being reduced in fine powder, into the conjunctival sac of one eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Ocular examinations were performed on both right and left eyes 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment.
Observation period (in vivo):
Ocular examinations were performed on both right and left eyes 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three female albino New Zealand rabbits.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight to moderate and totally reversible:
- At the conjunctivae level: a slight to moderate redness noted 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 3; associated with a slight to moderate chemosis noted 1 hour after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 3.
- At the iris level: an injection was noted 1 hour after the test item instillation in two animals and was totally reversible on day 1.
- At the corneal level: a slight opacity, noted 24 hours after the test item instillation in two animals and totally reversible on day 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The results obtained, under these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item STRONTIUM ACETATE does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
No symbol and warning label are required.
Executive summary:

The test item STRONTIUM ACETATE was instilled, as supplied, into the eye of three New Zealand rabbits at the dose of 0.1 g. The experimental protocol was established on the basis of the official method as defined in the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 405 dated October 2nd, 2012.

The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight to moderate and totally reversible:

- At the conjunctivae level: a slight to moderate redness noted 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 3; associated with a slight to moderate chemosis noted 1 hour after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 3.

- At the iris level: an injection was noted 1 hour after the test item instillation in two animals and was totally reversible on day 1.

- At the corneal level: a slight opacity, noted 24 hours after the test item instillation in two animals and totally reversible on day 2.

In conclusion, the results obtained, under these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item STRONTIUM ACETATE does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.

No symbol and warning label are required.
