Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
According to the evaluation criteria the test item Basic Yellow 1 is classified into UN GHS Category 1.
Executive summary:

The eye irritancy potential of Basic Yellow 1 was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay.

Preparation of the test item: The test item was suspended with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl (see 10.3) to give a 20% concentration.

Visual Observation after treatement: All 3 corneas treated with Basic Yellow 1 showed complete opacity of the tissue.

Mean in vitro irritation score: 105.52

Classification: UN GHS Category 1

The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid.

The negative control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.

Conclusion

According to the evaluation criteria the test item Basic Yellow 1 is classified into UN GHS Category 1.
