Any other information on results incl. tables

After 1, 24 and 48 hours, conjunctival redness and chemosis were present in all six rabbits, after 72 hours these conditions still persisted in five animals. Conjunctival discharge was present in one rabbit only at the 1 hour reading. There was no corneal or iridial involvement in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
E000144700 is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

Eye irritation potential of E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) was determined in a group of six albino rabbits. There was no evidence of damage to the cornea or iris throughout the study. Conjunctival redness and chemosis was seen from 1 hour to 72 hours after application. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were: cornea 0, iris 0, conjunctival redness 1.6, chemosis 1.3.

E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) was not irritating to the rabbit eye and does not warrant classification under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS CLP.
