Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical 2-phenylethyl 2-methylpropanoate (CAS no: 103-48-0) was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye in an eye irritation test performed according to OECD test guideline 405.
Executive summary:

An ocular irritation test was conducted for test chemical 2-phenylethyl 2-methylpropanoate (CAS no: 103-48-0) in four rabbits in accordance with OECD test guideline 405.

 

The undiluted 2-phenylethyl 2-methylpropanoate was administrated into the eye of each rabbits and reactions were scored for 48 hours.

 

Slight conjunctive irritation (4/4) was observed 1 h after application. All effects were reversible within 48 h.

 

As all the observed effects were not persisted over a period of 48 hours, the chemical 2-phenylethyl 2-methylpropanoate was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
