Any other information on results incl. tables

In animal #1, loss of corneal tissue was noted 1 h after application. Suppuration was observed in animal #2 24 h after instillation. On day 15, loss of hair was noted for animal #1. Marginal vascularization of the cornea was seen in animal #1 and 2 on day 8 and in animal #2 on day 15. Moreover, small retractions in the eyelids were noted in all animals an day 8 and in animals #2 and 3 on day 15. As outlined in the raw data, slight opacity covered the complete corneal surface in all animals throughout the study period. The reversibility of these finding till day 21 is doubtful.

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:
Based on the irreversible signs of corneal opacity in all rabbits, 3-chloro-o-toluidine has to be classified for eye irritation R41 or Category 1 according to EEC/67/548 and Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008, respectively.
