Irritant / corrosive response data:
The irritation index was found to be 1.3 for the conjunctival scores that have been fully reversible within 48 hours. In addition, it has to be mentioned that not rinsing treated eyes represents an elevated testing condition compared to today's standard guidelines. Remaining test material may cause continuous mechanical irritation and therefore altering the response to the chemical.
Other effects:
None observed

Any other information on results incl. tables

The total maximum score is 80 for the cornea, 10 for the iris and 20 for the conjunctivae. The irritation index was found to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 1.3 for the conjunctivae.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 40063/A is to be considered as a minimal irritant to the eye of rabbits.
Executive summary:

FAT 40063/A was subjected to eye irritation test according to the procedure adopted described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). The substance was tested on 6 rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed. Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, the eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The right eye served as a control. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment. The reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 24 hours and after 2, 3, 4 and 7 days on the basis of the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the AFDO.


The primary-irritation index, which serves as a measure of the acute irritation provoked by the substance, was found to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0.0 for the conjunctivae in case of rinsed eyes. Therefore, FAT 40063/A is to be considered as a non-irritant to the eye of rabbits.
