Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

scale for scoring ocular lesions:

chemosis (SW) and cornea (OP, opacity-degree of density):

0 = none

1 = slight

2 = well-defined

3 = severe

4 = very severe

area of cornea involved (AR):

1 = 0 < AR < 1/4

2 = 1/4 <= AR < 1/2

3 = 1/2 <= AR < 3/4

4 = 3/4 <= AR

conjunctivae redness (red):

0 = normal

1 = slight

2 = well-defined

3 = severe

discharge (DI):

0 = normal

1 = slightly increased

2 = clearly increased

3 = distinctly increased

iris:

0 = normal

1 = circum-corneal injection

2 = iritis

calculation of the mean according to 83/467/EEC criteria: the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings are used for means of opacity, iris, redness and swelling
