Irritant / corrosive response data:
After 1 hour slight redness with or without slight swelling of the conjunctivae. At 24 hours slight redness and slight swelling of the conjunctivae. At 48 hours the eye effects had cleared completely in two of the three rabbits, whereas slight redness and slight swelling of the conjunctivae were observed in the third rabbit. All irritation had cleared by 72 hours.
Other effects:
The test substance adhered to the hair surrounding the eye in all 3 rabbits.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Carbon Black-DSM Roetolie is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

Eye irritation potential of carbon black-DSM Roetolie (CAS 64742-90-1) was determined in a group of three 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 48 hours after application. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were: cornea 0, iris 0, conjunctival redness 0.4, chemosis 0.4.

Carbon black-DSM Roetolie (CAS 64742-90-1) was not irritating to the rabbit eye and does not warrant classification under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS CLP.
