Eye irritation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- other: data on Acid Blue 225_constituent 1
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Justification for type of information:
- The experiment was conducted on one of the substance components. It should be noted that the lot tested was characterized by the Acid Blue 225_constituent 1 as main component; however, the impurity profile (which includes also the Acid Blue 225_constituent 2) resulted to be similar to that characterizing the substance under assessment (details are given in the document attached to IUCLID section 13).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Non irritating
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to determine the eye irritation potential of test item in rabbits. The procedure adopted was the technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).
The substance was tested on 3 male and 3 female rabbits. Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment.
The total maximum is 80 for the cornea, 10 for the iris and 20 for the conjunctivae. The irritation index was found to be 5.8 for the cornea, 0 the iris and 5 for the conjunctivae.
Discussion and conclusion
It can be noted that in the study, 3 out of 6 animals did not receive rinsing any time after the instillation of the test substance in eyes. Not rinsing the treated eyes may lead to increased irritation response and does not represent the real time scenarios of eyes of workers getting exposed. Normally, any such incident will lead to rinsing of eyes immediately. Hence, not rinsing of eyes is an elevated testing condition and results normally do not have to be taken into account for hazard assessment.
According to the EC classification of the results obtained, the substance can be considered as non irritant to rabbit's eye.
