Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Using alcohol SDA 39 as the vehicle, conjunctival irritation was seen in all rabbits and corneal effects in one in three rabbits of each study. By the end of the 10th day the irritation had cleared at 3% and 18.7% but not at 7.5%.
Hence,Benzyl acetate can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes - Executive summary:
An eye irritation study was conducted on chemical benzyl acetate. It was exposed to right eye of 3 albino rabbits for 24 hours using a 0.1-mL aliquot of 3%, 7.5% or 18.7%
benzyl acetate in alcohol SDA 39.The left eye of the rabbits served as the control. The observation period was once every 24 h for the first 4 days
and at day seven. The eyes were scored according to the Draize scale. Using alcohol SDA 39 as the vehicle, conjunctival irritation was seen in all rabbits and corneal effects in one in three rabbits of each study. By the end of the 10th day the irritation had cleared at 3% and 18.7% but not at 7.5%. Hence,Benzyl acetate can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes
