- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No corneal damage of iridial inflammation was observed.
A diffuse crimson coloration of the conjuctivae with partial eversion of the eyelids was seen in one animal. Transient hyperaemia of blood vessels with slight swelling was observed in the remaining two animals. These reactions had resolved by either two or three days after instillation. - Other effects:
- There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Instillation of the test substance into the rabbit eye elicited transient, very slight to well-defined conjunctival irritation.
- Executive summary:
No eye irritation toxicity data of sufficient quality were available specifically on ammonium metatungstate (target substance). However, eye irritation data are available on sodium tungstate (source substance), which are used for read-across. Due to similar water solubility and toxicity for the target substance compared to the source substance, the resulting read-across from the source substance to the target substance is appropriate for this endpoint. In addition, read-across is appropriate because the classification and labelling is similar for the source substance and target substance, the PBT/vPvB profile is the same, and the dose descriptors are, or are expected to be, conservative for the target substance. For more details, refer to the read-across category approach description in the Category section of this IUCLID submission or Annex 3 of the CSR.
