Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 3.1 - 3.3 kg
- Housing: individually
- Diet ad libitum
- Water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 14 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20
- Humidity (%): 50
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The opposite untreated eye served as control.
Amount / concentration applied:
100 µl
Duration of treatment / exposure:
once
Observation period (in vivo):
up to 21 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
100 µl test compound was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of three rabbits after gently pulling the lowere lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for avout one second. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. The treated eye was washed out tith physiological saline 24 hours after the instillation of the test compound . The animals were observed for 21 days.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The 'Reaction mass of benzyl 2-ethylhexyl adipate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and dibenzyl adipate' can be regarded as not irritating to the eye.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

A study for irritant / corrosive potential on the rabbit's eye was conducted with 'Reaction mass of benzyl 2-ethylhexyl adipate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and dibenzyl adipate' in accordance with the OECD Guideline for testing of chemicals No. 405.

Based on the obtained results 'Reaction mass of benzyl 2-ethylhexyl adipate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and dibenzyl adipate' can be regarded as not irritating to the eye.
