Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 animals (administered to the left eye of each animal)
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize's standard (1959); Cornea, iris and conjunctiva were observed, and acknowledged damages were recorded. After calculating the total scores of each observation of each animal (Individual ocular irritation index, IOI) and the average score of each observation of each group (Mean ocular irritation index, MOI), the evaluation was made according to the AFNOR (1982) evaluation criteria. The acute ocular irritation index (AOI) was defined as the maximum of the MOI.

Accident Value Test of Corneal Epithelium: After the accident value test of anterior ocular segment done 24 hours after the application, corneal epithelium were dyed with fluorescein, and the stainability was evaluated.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The AOI was determined to be 6.0 at 24 hours and the MOI after 48 hours was 2.0, therefore, this test agent was determined to be slightly irritating based on the AFNOR (1982) criteria. No irritation was observed after 72 hours.

The Accident Value Test of Corneal Epithelium 24 hours after application was zero in all three animals.
Other effects:
There were no abnormalities in the general condition or the weight changes to any of the 3 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test agent was determined to be slightly irritating based on the AFNOR criteria. It does however not need to be classified for eye irritation according to the rules in the DSD and CLP.
