Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to an expert review of an unpublished eye irritation study, conducted to US guidelines (CFR 21, part 191 12), a single instillation of palladium monoxide (100 mg) to the eyes of six rabbits produced no signs of irritation.
Executive summary:

According to an expert review of an unpublished eye irritation study, conducted to US test guidelines (CFR 21, part 191 12), palladium monoxide (100 mg) was instilled into one eye of each of six rabbits. The other eye remained untreated and acted as the control. The treated eye was then assessed for ocular inflammation 24, 48 and 72 hr after application. No reaction was noted in any of the six animals, indicating that the test material was not irritating.

 

Based on the results of this study, palladium monoxide should not be classified for eye irritation according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
