Results and discussion

In vitro

Resultsopen allclose all
Irritation parameter:
fluorescein retention score
Value:
3
Vehicle controls validity:
not specified
Negative controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
The combination of the three endpoints for the negative control, physiological saline, was 3 x I. Therefore, the negative control is classified as “No Category”, as expected.
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
The combination of the three endpoints for the positive control, Sodium Hydroxyde, was 3 x IV. Therefore, the positive control is classified as “Corrosive/Severe Irritant”, as expected.
Remarks on result:
other: corresponding to ICE class I
Irritation parameter:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the results obtained under these experimental
conditions enable to conclude that the test item DNTCB (1,3,5-trichloro-2,6-dinitrobenzene) does
not require classification for eye irritation and serious eye damage as defined by the UN GHS (No
Category).
No signal word and hazard statement are required.
