Remarks:

migrated information: powder

Details on test material:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Reaction mixture of 1,4-Butanediamine, 1,6-Hexanediamine and 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid
- Substance type:White crystalline powder
- Physical state: powder
- Storage condition of the test material: At room temperature

Test system

Vehicle:

physiological saline

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 20% (w/v) solution, 750 µl per cornea

NEGATIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 750 µl of physiological saline per cornea

POSITIVE CONTROL
Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 750 µl per cornea
Concentration (if solution): 20% (w/v) Imidazole

Duration of treatment / exposure:

240 minutes

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Isolated bovine cornea

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: 240 minutes

SCORING SYSTEM:
- After exposure the cornea is thoroughly rinsed to remove the test substance followed by immediate opacity measurement and permeability evaluation of the cornea.

- The mean opacity and mean permeability values (OD490) were used for each treatment group to calculate an in vitro score:

In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value).


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- opacitymeter and microplate reader

DATA EVALUATION:
In vitro score range UN GHS
≤ 3 No Category
> 3; ≤ 55 No prediction can be made
>55 Category 1

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Since Reaction mixture of 1,4-Butanediamine, 1,6-Hexanediamine and 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid induced an IVIS ≤ 3, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.

Executive summary:

The negative control responses of the opacity and permeability values were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas.The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (20% (w/v) Imidazole) was 124 and within the historical positive control data range. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.

Reaction mixture of 1,4-Butanediamine, 1,6-Hexanediamine and 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of 2.1 after 240 minutes of treatment.
