Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Produkt-Nr.: 161 001 (additional name: Cumaron-Inden Harz B1 flüssig) (early technical product of the substance 'Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised')

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Six animals were tested for eye irritation response. No effects were noted at the cornea and iris of the test animals. Conjunctival redness and oedema (chemosis) observed in some animals were only low grade (maximum score 1). Conjunctival redness had subsided at day 2 (48-h reading), and chemosis had disappeared at day 3 (72-h reading). Responses for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival redness and/or chemosis above the criteria for eye irritation of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP regulation) were not observed in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
This test material representing the substance NAF-AO is not irritating to the eye compared to current test standards.
Executive summary:

In this study, the test material (0.1 mL) was applied to one eye of each of six test animals (albino rabbits). The rabbits were observed for 7 days. Readings were taken at 24, 48, and 72 hours using the scoring system of Draize (published by the Food and Drub Officials of the United States, 1959). Results indicate that application of the test material caused slight but non classifiable irritation to the eye.
