Toxicological information

Eye irritation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Justification for type of information:
Two rabbits tested following US guidelines from 1994.
A 25% commercial grade material was tests, but in view of the absence of significant effects, it is considered adequate to conclude that the substance is not irritating to eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Although only two animals were tested, it canbe concluded that the material was not irritating to the eye.
The commercial grade material with ca 25% actives was tested, but in view of the low level of effect seen, it can be concluded that the substance is unlikely to be irritating to the eye.
The pH of the tested material is not known, but the current production material has pH 6 - 7.
