Description of key information

Six rabbits were exposed dermally (under occlusion) to 0.5 g of the similar substance 1 for 24 hours. Very limited oedema and erythema were reported at the 24 h examination. These effects were fully reversible after 72 hours. The substance is not irritating to the skin (Ciba 1974).

A study similar to OECD 405 was performed on similar substance 1. The substance was installed in the conjuntival sac of the eye of 6 rabbits. The eyes of 3 of these were washed after 30 seconds. Observations for irritancy were done at 1, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation. No irritant effects became apparent except for slight cornea effects and slight redness that were fully reversible after 72 hours. There was no difference between animals with washed eyes and animals that were not washed. Therefore it is concluded that the substance is not irritating to the eyes (Ciba 1974)
