Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Mean scores for redness at 24, 48, 72 hours were 0.33, 0.33, and 0.33 respectively. The mean erythema score was 0.33. The scores for chemosis were 0, 0, and 0. The mean erythema score was 0.0. There were no positive scores for corneal, or iridial irritation. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested C9-C14 aliphatic solvents (2-25% aromatics) based on analogue read across.

Application of 0.1ml of MRD-89-523 to the eye of six rabbits elicited slight, transient conjunctival redness, chemosis, and some discharge. Mean scores for redness at 24, 48, 72 hours were 0.33, 0.33, and 0.33 respectively.  The mean erythema score was 0.33. The scores for chemosis were 0, 0, and 0.  The mean erythema score was 0.0. There were no positive scores for corneal, or iridial irritation.  Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Ray Nichols Rabbitry, Lumberton, TX
- Age at study initiation: 3-6 months
- Weight at study initiation: N/A
- Housing: Singly in wire-bottomed, suspended, stainless steel cages, identified by ear tags
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Purina Rabbit Chow in measured amounts
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week

IN-LIFE DATES: From: Oct. 1, 1990 To: Oct. 4, 1990

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the non-treated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The eyes of 3 of the nine animals were washed for one minute with room temperature deionized water 30 seconds after start of exposure. The eyes of the remaining 6 animals were unwashed.
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hrs at which time no animals showed signs of irritation.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
9 animals total
3 males and 3 females were used in the unwashed eye experiment
3 males were used in the washed eye experiment
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The eyes of 3 of the nine animals were washed for one minute with room temperature deionized water. The eyes of the remaining 6 animals were unwashed.
- Time after start of exposure: 30 seconds after start of exposure


SCORING SYSTEM: According to EPA guidelines 81-4


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: All animals were examined with 0.2% fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution at the 24 hr observation . Since no fluorescein staining was seen in any animal, the examination was not repeated at later observations.
