Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: The test article has no obligatory labeling requirement for eye irritation.

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the test article has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation according to EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements.

Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of T-7600, C4 -Acrylate, was evaluated in 3 male rabbits. The study was carried out based on the following guidelines: OECD 405 and EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. Single samples of approximately 55 mg of the test article (volume of 0.1 ml) were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation. The test substance cause irritation of the conjunctivae, shown was redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation and completely resolved within 72 hours in one animal and within 7 days in the other animals. Remnants of the test substance were present in the eyes of all animals on day 1.

Based on the results of the study, the test article has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation according to EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements.
