Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on study design:
The individual numerical scores of each eye treated were added together and then divided by the number of treated eyes (usually 5 animals) to obtain the score of the injury caused by the treatment. The level of 5.0 was selected by the authors of the study as representative of severe injury.
When a test is to be performed, normal albino rabbits are selected on the basis of absence of grossly visible staining of the eye by a 5% aqueous solution of fluorescein sodium, flushed with distilled water 20 seconds after application. After a two-hour interval to allow the eye to return normal, the undiluted material is applied to the centre of the cornea while the lids are retracted. Eighteen to 24 hours later, the eye is examined in strong diffuse daylight, and then stained with fluorescein, and the injury scored. Guided by the result and the table of injury grades, additional applications are made until the chemical can be assigned to one of the grades they recognize.
