- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Immediately after dosing all animals were observed to blink excessively, thereby removing some of the test substance from their treated eye. At the first observation time (100 min after instillation) hyperaemia of the blood vessels of the conjunctivae, affecting the eyelids and the scleral conjunctivae, was observed in all animals, as well as obvious swelling of the eyelids. Increased lacrimation was also observed in all animals at this time.
Treatment of the eyes with fluorescein 24 hours after treatment revealed 20-25% corneal epithelial damage, but other corneal effects were not observed. When fluorescein treatment was repeated 3 days after dosing the epithelial damage had disappeared. On day 1 injection of the capillaries in the iris was observed in all animals, as well as deepened rugae in 1/3 animals; in all animals the iris still reacted to light. In the animal with the deepened rugae the iris effects disappeared within the next 24 hours, while in the other 2 animals the injection of capillaries persisted for 48 to 72 hours. Slight conjunctival swelling persisted in all animals for 3 days, while slight redness was still observable on day 7. Fourteen days after dosing all adverse ocular effects had disappeared. - Other effects:
- Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Conclusion:
Slight eye irritation wit iris scores of 0.3 to 1 and conjuctiva redness score between 1.3 and 2 and chemosis 1.3 (all average 24,48 ans 72 h) was observed in the test animals. All effects were reversible within 14 days. According to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test substance does not have to be classified as irritating to the eyes. According to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test substance does not have to be classified as irritating to the eyes. - Executive summary:
Conclusion:
In a rabbit eye irritation test following OECG TG 405 and GLP the souce substance revealed slight eye irritation wit iris scores of 0.3 to 1 and conjuctiva redness score between 1.3 and 2 and chemosis 1.3 (all average 24,48 ans 72 h) was observed in the test animals. All effects were reversible within 14 days. According to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test substance does not have to be classified as irritating to the eyes.
According to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test substance does not have to be classified as irritating to the eyes. The results are considered relevant for the target substance that, due to its lower water solubility, is supposed to be equally or less avaialble in the ocular fluid and is expeced to cause a comparable or lower level of effect.

Additional information
Testing results for the read across source substance and QSAR predictions for the target substance show consistently only mild skin or eye irritation potential that would not lead to a classification as irritating to skin or eyes.
The results with the source substance are considered relevant for the target substance, that due to its lower water solubility is supposed to be euqually or less avaialble in the ocular fluid or on the skin and is expeced to cause a comparable or lower level of effect.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Read-across (CAS 16260-09-6) experimental data suggests that CAS 72901-31-6 is not classifiable with regards to skin or eye irritation/corrosion.
Testing results for the read across source substance and QSAR predictions for the target substance show consistently only mild skin or eye irritation potential that would not lead to a classification as irritating to skin or eyes.
The results with the source substance are considered relevant for the target substance, that due to its lower water solubility is supposed to be equally or less available in the ocular fluid or on the skin and is expected to cause a comparable or lower level of effect.
