Study design
To test for primary skin irritation, 0.5 g of the test material, was mixed with some drops ofAqua pro injectioneto ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards the test material was spread onto 6 cm2patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. The study was started as an initial test with 1 animal and followed by the confirmatory test with 2 further animals. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Thereafter, examinations were performed daily for a further 7 days.
Results
Under the conditions of the present study, no signs of irritation were seen.
Body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous.
Conclusions
No skin irritating potential could be detected.

- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, the test item is not considered to be an eye irritant in this study and under the experimental conditions reported.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of the test material by means of the BCOP assay (OECD 437) using fresh bovine corneae. Damage is assessed by quantitative measurements of changes in corneal opacity and permeability with an opacitometer and a visible light spectrophotometer, respectively. Both measurements are used to calculate an in vitro irritation score, which is used to assign an in vitro irritancy category.
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneae (t0), the test item/saline (0.9% (w/v) NaCl in deionised water) stock, the positive, or the negative controls were applied to the epithelial surface of three corneae each and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C. After the incubation phase the test item, the positive, or the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneae and opacity was measured again (t240).
After the opacity measurements, permeability of the corneae was determined by addition of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution to the anterior chamber of the corneal holder and subsequent incubation in a horizontal position at 32 ± 2 °C for 90 minutes. The permeability of the corneae was measured quantitatively by determination of the increase in fluorescein in the posterior chamber medium.
With the negative control (0.9% NaCl solution) an increase of opacity or permeability of the corneae could not be observed.
The positive control (10% (w/v) Benzalconium chloride) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae and therefore, is classified as very severe eye irritant.
The test item did not cause any opacity or permeability of the corneae compared with the results of the negative control. The calculated mean in vitro irritation score was 1.88 and therefore, the test item was classified as non eye irritant.
In conclusion, the test item is not considered to be an eye irritant in this study and under the experimental conditions reported.
