- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 4 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22+/-2
- Humidity (%): 55+/-10
- Air changes (per hr): "air conditioned" without details
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1h
Observation period (in vivo):
1,24,48,72 hours, 7, 14, 21 days after treatment.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 rabbits (3M, 3F)
Details on study design:
Before testing, both eyes of each animal were examined and any animals with eye defect were rejected.
A single dose of the test material in an amount of 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbit and the lid was gently closed for a few seconds.
The right eye remained untreated and served as a control. In 3 out of the 6 rabbits approxiamtely 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with physiological saline for about one minute.

Scoring with Draize scale.
All rabbits were killed at the end of the observation period.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Test item showed no irritation when applied on the rabbit eye mucosa.
No coloration of the cornea and conjunctivae was observed in the rabbits during the entire test period which could be related to compound effects.

Rinsing of the eyes following substance instillation showed a very good effect.
Other effects:
No acute toxicological signs were observed in the animals during the test period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this experiment, the test material was found to cause no irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this primary eye irritation study was to assess possible irritation potential when single doses of decanediol are placed in the conjunctival sac of 6 rabbit eyes (3 not rinsed/3 rinsed). Very slight effects on conjunctivae were observed in rabbits 'not rinsed' ; the effects are fully reversible into 7 days.

Under the conditions of this experiment, the test material was found to cause no irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.
