Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item was found severely irritating to the eye of rabbit. Based on these results, the test item reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda is classified Xi, R 41, risk of serious damage to eyes, according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE, and Eye Damage Cat 1, H318 according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP), considering the persistence of eye damages at the end of the observation period (21 days).
Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for eye irritation in rabbits, according to O.E.C.D. guideline Nb.405. 0.1 ml of the test article was instilled in the eye of White rabbits (3 animals). Animals were then observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored.

The substance was found to be severely irritating to the eye in the rabbit. Persistence of eye damages at the end of the observation period (21 days) was observed. Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 1.0, 1.0 and 1.0 for corneal opacity; 0.33, 0.0 and 0.0 for iris lesions; 2.0, 2.0 and 2.0 for redness of the conjunctiva and 0.66, 1.0 and 0.0 for chemosis.

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item was found severely irritating to the eye of rabbit. Based on these results, the test item reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda is classified Xi, R 41, risk of serious damage to eyes, according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and Eye Damage, Cat 1, H318 according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP), considering the persistence of eyes damages at the end of the observation period (21 days).
