Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
The test substance may cause severe eye damage.
Executive summary:

The effect of the test substance, rhenium (VII) oxide on chick chorioallantoic membrane in vitro (using the HET-CAM assay) has been examined to assess potential ocular corrosivity/severe irritancy.

Application of the undiluted test substance caused rapid haemorrhage and coagulation (in 1 sec), whereas application of a 10% solution in doubly-distilled water resulted in haemorrhage in between 15 and 35 sec (mean 22.7 sec) and protein coagulation in between 54 and 65 sec (mean 58.7 sec). Because of the absence of vascular lysis data, and irritation score (IS) can not be determined.

This study suggests that rhenium (VII) oxide may cause severe eye damage.
