Executive summary:

A key in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test substance in rabbits according to the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959), the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with 0.5 g of the test preparation were applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin. The patches were covered with an impermeable material and fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape. The dressings were removed after a 24-hours exposure. The mean 24/48/72 h score for edema and erythema was zero at all time points. Under the conditions of the present experiment FAT 20004/D was found to cause no irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin. The calculated primary irritation index was 0.

Amount / concentration applied:
- Amount(s) applied: 100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Unwashed eye: unspecified (not rinsed after single instillation)
Washed eye: 30 sec
Observation period (in vivo):
The rabbits were examined for day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 d after application of the test.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Six animals (Three males and three females)
Details on study design:
PROCEDURE:
The test material in an amount of 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the 6 rabbits and the lids were gently closed for one second. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE: In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of lukewarm water.

SCORING SYSTEM: The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. The primary eye irritation index represents the sum of the mean values for cornea, iris and conjunctivae. This procedure was carried out separately for unrinsed and rinsed eyes, respectively.

SCORING SYSTEM: Scale for scoring Ocular Lesions.

Additional information

Skin Irritation:


A key in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test substance in rabbits according to the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959), the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with 0.5 g of the test preparation were applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin. The patches were covered with an impermeable material and fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape. The dressings were removed after a 24 hour exposure. The mean 24/48/72 h score for edema and erythema was zero at all time points. Under the conditions of the present experiment FAT 20004/D was found to cause no irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin. The calculated primary irritation index was 0. In other supporting studies, FAT 20004 was found to be not irritating to the skin.


 


Eye Irritation:


A study was conducted to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test substance in rabbits according to procedure "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959), the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). The test material in an amount of 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the six rabbits. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of lukewarm water. The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. In the present experiments the irritation index was established as 1.7 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 2.6 for the conjunctivae. The test material caused therefore a minimal overall eye irritation to rabbits. In other supporting studies, FAT 20004 was found to be not irritating to eyes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above stated assessment of the skin irritation potential, the substance does not have to be classified for skin irritation according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of the European parliament and of the Council.

Base on the above assessment of the eye irritation potential, the substance does not have to be classified as for risk of serious damage to eyes according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of the European parliament and of the Council.
