Irritant / corrosive response data:
After one hour exposure, the skins of the animals showed from very little binding to distinct swelling and a diffuse red color. Between 24 and 48 hours after exposure very light, barely perceptible, swelling and redness of the conjunctivae was observed. There effects were fully reversible by 72 hours after exposure.


One hour revealed the binding very light skins of animals to clear swelling and a diffuse crimson-red to bright red diffuse color. Have 24 hours to 48 hours some very light barely perceptible redness and swelling of the conjunctiva are noted. 72 hours were all lovely reversible phenomena.






Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the read-across approach from experimental data on the analogue isobornyl acetate, dextro alpha fenchyl acetate is determined to be not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

An in-vivo eye irritation test was performed on the analogue substance isobornyl acetate according to OECD Guideline 405. The right eye of three New Zealand White rabbits were exposure to 0.1 mL (unchanged) test sample. The other one was used as control. The effects were observed after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours exposure. Two rabbits showed a chemosis score of 0.33 (mean 24 -72h) which was fully reversible after 48 hours of exposure. One rabbit showed a conjunctivae score of 0.66 (mean 24 -72h) which was fully reversible after 72 hours of exposure. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and dextro alpha fenchyl acetate was determined to be not irritating to the eye.
