Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: LPT
- Age at study initiation: approx. 7.5 month
- Weight at study initiation: 2.7 - 2.8 kg
- Housing: For 8 hours following test substance application, the animals were kept singly in special restrainers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn and wiping of the eyes. During the acclimatisation period and after the 8-hour period in restrainers, the rabbits were kept separately in cages with dimensions of 425 mm x 600 mm x 380 mm
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 20 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20°C ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 50% ± 20%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours / 12 hours

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- 0.1 ml/animal (right eye)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1 day
Observation period (in vivo):
6 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
CORNEA
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
0 = no ulceration or opacity
1 = scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre). details of iris clearly visible
2 = easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 = nacreous areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 = Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity

IRIS
0 = normal
1 = markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia, or injection, any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 = no reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)

CONJUNCTIVAE
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, cornea and iris)
0 = blood vessels normal
1 = some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 = diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 = diffuse beefy red
Chemosis: lids and/or nictitating membrane
0 = no swelling
1 = any swelling above normal (including nictitating membranes)
2 = obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 = swelling with lids about half-closed
4 = swelling with lids more than half-closed



TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: slit lamp / fluorescein
