Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance produced scattered or diffuse corneal opacity and iridial inflammation in both treated eyes one hour after treatment. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes one and 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 hour observation. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) and DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC)
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test substance was determined to be non-irritant to the eye. According to the criteria of OECD GHS, Regluation (EC) 1272/2008 and of DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC) no classification and labelling is required.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study performed according to the testing guideline OECD 405 0.1 mL (99 mg) of  Sucroglyceride C12-18, C18unsatd. (92.66% a.i.) was instilled undiluted into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 2 young adult New Zealand White rabbits. Eyes were not washed. Animals then were observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

Scattered or diffuse corneal opacity and iridial inflammation in both treated eyes one hour after treatment. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes one and 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 hour observation. All observed effects were completely reversible within 72 hours and both treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

In this study, Sucroglyceride C12-18, C18unsatd. (93.66% a.i) is not an eye irritant.
