Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study, 5,8-Dichlorchinizarin was not irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study performed in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41, 5,8-Dichlorchinizarin was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 albino rabbits (strain New Zealand White).  Animals then were observed for 7 days.  Irritation was scored by "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics", FDA, 1959, p.51.

Animals #1 and #2 showed opacity spots on cornea and clear iris within 48 hours of application (score 1). Animal #6 showed discharge at conjunctiva within 24 hours of application. All observed effects were fully reversible within 48 hours). No irritation occurred in any other animal during the entire observation period.

In this study, 5,8-Dichlorchinizarin is not an eye irritant.
