Irritant / corrosive response data:
The group mean score at 24 hours was 110/110. The group mean scores at 48 and 72 hours were 110/110. The Draize evaluation does not provide for the observation of hemorrhage which was noted in this test. One rabbit from each group was selected for autopsy following the 72 hour reading. Complete enucleation of the eye was noted in each animal examined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Dimethyltin dichloride was found to be a severe eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Dimethyltin dichloride was tested for eye irritation according to the method of Draize using albino rabbits. This method was similar to that detailed in the OECD 405 guideline.

9 male New Zealand rabbits were used. 100 mg of test substance was placed into the right eye of the rabbit, whilst the left eye served as a control.

The group mean score at 24 hours was 110/110. The group mean scores at 48 and 72 hours were 110/110. Complete enucleation of the eye was noted in each animal examined.

Dimethyltin dichloride was found to be a severe eye irritant.
