Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:

Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL aliquot

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 1 female and 5 male rabbits. A 0.5 mL aliquot was applied to the clipped test site then covered with gauze and rubber sheeting. After 24 hours the test site was washed then scored according to the Draize scale. Erythema was observed in 5 of the 6 animals. Draize scores ranged from 0 to 2.3 across 24, 48, and 72 hours. No edema was observed throughout the study.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance produced severe corneal opacity in the washed eye. In addition, it produced moderate iritis and conjunctival redness and copious blood-tinged discharge (confirmed with Hemastix® reagent strips) in both treated eyes, and moderate and mild chemosis in the washed and unwashed eye, respectively. Fluorescein stain examinations were positive for corneal injury in the washed eye and negative in the unwashed eye. Biomicroscopic examinations revealed moderate to severe corneal injury in the washed eye and no corneal injury in the unwashed eye. The treated eyes of both rabbits were normal by 3 days after treatment.

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Under the conditions of this study, the test item was an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute eye irritation potential in 2 young adult New Zealand white rabbits. An aliquot of 0.01 mL of the test substance was administered to 1 eye of each animal. The eyes of one rabbit were washed following treatment. The untreated eye served as a control. The conjunctiva, iris, and cornea of each treated eye were evaluated and scored according to the Draize scale approximately 1 and 4 hours and 1, 2, and 3 days following administration.

The substance produced severe corneal opacity in the washed eye. In addition it produced moderate iritis and conjunctival redness and copious blood-tinged discharge (confirmed with Hemastix® reagent strips) in both treated eyes, and moderate and mild chemosis in the washed and unwashed eye, respectively. Fluorescein stain examinations were positive for corneal injury in the washed eye and negative in the unwashed eye. Biomicroscopic examinations revealed moderate to severe corneal injury in the washed eye and no corneal injury in the unwashed eye. The treated eyes of both rabbits were normal by 3 days after treatment. Under the conditions of this study, the test item was an eye irritant.

Additional information

An aliquot of 0.01 mL of the test substance was administered to one eye of a rabbit. The untreated eye served as a control. The conjunctiva, iris, and cornea of each treated eye were evaluated and scored according to the Draize scale approximately 1 and 4 hours and 1, 2, and 3 days following administration. Iritis, conjunctival redness, blood-tinged discharge, and chemosis were observed in the treated eye. The treated eyes were normal by 3 days after treatment.  

The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 1 female and 5 male rabbits. A 0.5 mL aliquot was applied to the clipped test site then covered with gauze and rubber sheeting. After 24 hours the test site was washed then scored according to the Draize scale. Erythema was observed in 5 of the 6 animals. Draize scores ranged from 0 to 2.3. No edema was observed throughout the study.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Draize score for skin irritation was 0 to 2.3, therefore no classification is required for skin irritation according to the EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

The test substance produced corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival redness, and discharge, which cleared by 3 days after treatment. Therefore, the test substance is classified Cat 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and Xi; R36 (irritating to eyes) according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC.
