- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Test animalsNew Zealand White rabbits were obtained from Harlan UK Ltd., Bicester (Hsdif:NZW strain). Weight at study initiation: 2.91 to 3.24 kg/dayHousing: Cages that conform with the "Code of Practice for the Housing and Care of Animals Used in Scientific Procedures" (Home Office, London, 1989) Diet: ad libitum supply of "Teklad Diet" animal feed Water: ad libitum supply of domestic mains water Acclimation period: 5 daysEnvironmental conditionsTemperature: 15 to 21C Humidity: 40 to 70%Air changes: 15 changes per hourPhotoperiod: 12 hours light
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent negative control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 100 mg powdered test article, dispensed from a foil sachet and instilled inot the left conjunctival sac of a New Zealand White rabbit.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- One dose consisting of 100 mg of powdered test article, dispensed from a foil sachet, instilled into the left conjunctiva! sac of a single New Zealand White rabbit. The lower eyelid was gently prised away from the eyeball to create a receptacle for the dose. After instillation the eyelids were held closed for a few seconds to prevent loss of the dose. The right eye remained untreated and served as a control to the treated eye.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCEInformation on the method used to remove test material from eye post exposure was not documented in the reportSCORING SYSTEM: Table 1 GRADING OF OCULAR LESIONS from OECD guideline 405TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Use of 2% aqueous fluorescein solution to facilitate illumination with a UV source (adsorption of fluorescing dye would indicate epithelial damage.. Use of hand held magnifier and pen torch.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test article did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU Commission Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
- Executive summary:
This study was conducted to determine the irritancy caused to the rabbit eye following a single instillation of the test article, Beta Ketosulfide, into the conjunctival sac.The test article (500mg:weight equivalent to 0.1mL) was instilled into one conjunctival sac of each of three New Zealand White rabbits on Day 1.Ocular reactions were assessed for up to three days after treatment.
Ocular instillation of the test article provoked practically no initialsting reaction. No corneal opacification was noted. lridial inflammation was noted in one treated eye 30minutes after administration. Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes lasting up to 4 hours after administration. All reactions had resolved by 24 hours after dosing.
The test article did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU
