EXPLANATIONS OF SYMPTOMS:

S00 - IRRITATION INDEX COULD NOT BE READ BECAUSE OF STAINING DUE - TO THE COLOR OF THE TEST SUBSTANCE

S06 - FIRST STUDY DISCONTINUED AFTER 72 H BECAUSE NO IRRITATION COULD BE OBSERYED AT THAT TIME

LH - LOSS OF HAIR AT MARGINS OF EYELIDS

LC - LOSS OF CORNEAL TISSUE

MV - MARGINAL VASCULARIZATION OF THE CORNEA

PC - PUPIL CONTRACTED

PA - PANNUS

RE - SMALL RETRACTIONS IN THE EYELIDS

S - SUPPURATION

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The mean scores for cornea, iris, conjunctival swelling and chemosis were 0.1,0.1,1.4 and 0.9 respectively. Also,redness and contracted pupils loss of corneal tissue, marginal vascularization was observed in the treated eyes till 21 days of observation.
Based on these observations and scores, the test chemical can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was performed for assessment of a possible irritating potential of CI Pigment Red 169 to the eye and to the eye mucosa of rabbits. The study was conducted according to OECD 405 Guidelines. 6 (3 male, 3 female) Vienna White rabbits were used for the study. 0.1 ml bulk volume (about 20 mg of the comminuted test substance) was instilled into the right eyelid of the test animals. Untreated eyes served as negative control. The treated eyes remained unwashed throughout the study. The treated eyes were observed for signs of irritation and scored at 1 hr, 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, 8 Day, 15 Day and 21 Day after application. The mean scores for cornea, iris, conjunctival swelling and chemosis were 0.1,0.1,1.4 and 0.9 respectively. Also, redness and contracted pupils loss of corneal tissue, marginal vascularization was observed in the treated eyes till 21 days of observation. Based on these observations and scores, the test chemical can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes.
