Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The test was performed on 6 female New Zealand White rabbits bred and raised on the premises weighing 2 to 3 kgs. The animals were housed individually in metal cages, numbered by ear tags, were kept at a constant room temperature of 22±2 °C, at a relative humidity of 55±10 % and on a 10 hour light cycle day. The animals had ad libitum access to standard rabbit food - NAFAG, No. 814, Gossau SG - and water. Prior to treatment they were adapted to our laboratories for a minimum of 4 days. Only rabbits with normal ophthalmic findings were used for these tests.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 females
Details on study design:
The test material in an amount of 0.1 ml was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for a few seconds. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of physiological saline. The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Instillation of FAT 31016/F in eye, leads to irreversible effects on the eyes.
Executive summary:

Eye irritation potential of FAT 31016/F was evaluated in a study conducted as per the procedure described in the Proposed Guidelines of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) § 163.81-4 "Primary eye irritation study", Federal Register, Vol. 43, No. 163, August 22, 1978. The test was performed on 6 female New Zealand White rabbits. The test material in an amount of 0.1 ml was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for a few seconds. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of physiological saline. The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. Based on the available data, the corneal opacity was scored to be ≥3 for 2 out of 3 rabbits which did not receive rinsing. Also the iris was scored to be =2 in all 3 rabbits which did not receive rinsing. Hence, it was concluded that the instillation of the substance in eye, leads to irreversible effects on the eyes, and should be classified in category 1 as per the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) criteria.
