Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of FAT 92267/A to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit according to the OECD Guideline 404. An area of at least 36 cm² was shaved on both flanks of the animals approximately 24 hours before treatment. A gauze patch (approx. 12-16 cm²) bearing 0.5 ml of the test article was applied to the right flank of each animal. A control gauze patch moistened with distilled water was applied to the contralateral flank. The patches were loosely covered with an aluminum foil (approx. 36 cm²) and held in place for 4 hours by an adhesive tape. There were no effects on body weight gain. All animals showed erythema and edema during initial days of observation period. Because reactions were observed within 72 h after removing the bandages, the observation period was extended to 7 days to determine the reversibility of the skin reactions. According to the EEC classification of the results obtained 24 to 72 h after removing the bandages FAT 92267/A can be classified as non-irritant in rabbits. The skin reactions observed were reversible until the end of the observation period on day 7. So, under the experimental conditions employed, FAT 92267/A is non-irritant to the skin in rabbits.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 92267/A was not considered as not irritant to the rabbit eye.

Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation study was carried out to assess the possible irritation potential when a single dose of FAT 92267/A was placed in the conjunctival sac of a rabbit eye. The experiment was donne according to the OCED guideline 405. GLP methodology was follows during the test. One New Zaeland White rabbit was used. On test day 1, 0.1 ml of the (undiluted) test article was placed in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lid was then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test article. The eye of the animal was examined for ocular irritation 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after administration. Under the conditions of this experiment, FAT 92267/A was found to cause a primary irritation score of 3.00, when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye. Slight diffuse corneal opacity was observed within 1 hour to 24 hours after test article application. In the area of application no staining of the cornea and conjunctivae by pigemnt or coloring of the test article was observed. Under the conditions of the experiment, FAT 92267/A had to be classified as not irritant to the rabbit eye.

Additional information

Skin irritation in vivo:

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit according to the OECD Guideline 404. An area of at least 36 cm² was shaved on both flanks of the animals approximately 24 hours before treatment. A gauze patch (approx. 12-16 cm²) bearing 0.5 ml of the test article was applied to the right flank of each animal. A control gauze patch moistened with distilled water was applied to the contralateral flank. The patches were loosely covered with an aluminum foil (approx. 36 cm²) and held in place for 4 hours by an adhesive tape. There were no effects on body weight gain. All animals showed erythema and edema during initial days of observation period. Because reactions were observed within 72 hours after removing the bandages, the observation period was extended to 7 days to determine the reversibility of the skin reactions. According to the EEC classification of the results obtained 24 to 72 hours after removing the bandages FAT 92267/A can be classified as non-irritant in rabbits. The skin reactions observed were reversible until the end of the observation period on day 7. So, under the experimental conditions employed, FAT 92267/A is non-irritant to the skin rabbit.

 

Eye irritation in vivo:

The primary eye irritation study was carried out to assess the possible irritation potential when a single dose of FAT 92267/A was placed in the conjunctival sac of a rabbit eye. The experiment was donne according to the OCED guideline 405. The test was conducted under GLP conditions. One New Zealand White rabbits have been used. On test day 1, 0.1 ml of the (undiluted) test article was placed in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lid was then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test article. The eye of the animal was examined for ocular irritation 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after administration. Under the conditions of this experiment, FAT 92267/A was found to cause a primary irritation score of 3.00, when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye. Slight diffuse corneal opacity was observed within 1 hour to 24 hours after test article application. In the area of application no staining of the cornea and conjunctivae by pigemnt or coloring of the test article was observed. Under the conditions of the experiment, FAT 92267/A had to be classified as not irritant to the rabbit eye.

 

Eye irritation in vitro:

The study was performed to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test article by means of the BECAM assay using isolated bovine eyes (BE) and the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of hens' eggs. At the time of the testing, no OECD guideline was awailable. The method is increasingly used for the detection of eye mucosa membrane irritants. Eye irritation caused by external contact with chemical substances is characterized by corneal damage and/or conjunctival injury and/or iris defects.

Negative control:

The untreated eye and physiological saline-treated eggs showed no signs of irritation.

Positive control:

BE assay: Toluene: 1.5 and Acetone: 3.5

CAM assay: NaOH: 19.1 and SDS: 11.3

On account of these results, the BECAM assay was considered to be valid.

BE assay:

- Opacity: slight opacity in three cases, no opacity in two cases.

- Epithelial integrity: diffuse and weak epithelial integrity in one case, no epithelial integrity in four cases.

- Epithelial detachment: No epithalial detachment.

CAM assay:

- Haemorrhage: Haemorrhage in all cases.

- Lysis: No lysis

- Coagulation: No coagulation

BE assay mean score: 0.7 (slight)

CAM assay mean score: 3.0 (slight)

Final interpretation: slightly irritation.

The irritation of FAT 92267/A in the BECAM assay was investigated and the test article revealed slight corneal damage in the bovine eyes. The effects on the CAM were classified as slight.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data on skin and eye irritation, the test substance does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
