Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Signs of irritation were limited to Grade 1 conjunctival erythema and Grade 1 chemosis in one rabbit at the 24-hour observation point.  All reactions had resolved by 48 hours. The reactions are not sufficient to trigger classification for serious eye damage or serious eye irritation according to the CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of fenitrothion was investigated in a rabbit study performed in compliance with OECD 405. 0.1 mL of the test material was instilled into one eye of three rabbits' ocular reactions were scored at 11, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Signs of irritation were limited to Grade 1 conjunctival erythema and Grade 1 chemosis in one rabbit at the 24-hour observation point.  All reactions had resolved by 48 hours. The reactions seen in this study are not sufficient to trigger classification for serious eye damage or serious eye irritation according to the CLP criteria.
