Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
30 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
10 seconds
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
30, 75, 120, 180 and 240minutes post-dose
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 enucleated chicken eyes
Details on study design:
The endpoints evaluated were corneal opacity, swelling, fluorescein retention, and morphological
effects (e.g., pitting or loosening of the epithelium). All of the endpoints, with the exception of
fluorescein retention (which was determined only at pretreatment and 30 minutes after test item
exposure) were determined at each of the above time points.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the results obtained under these experimental conditions lead to the category “no prediction can be made”, as defined by the OECD guideline No.438. Therefore, the test item Red STR 172 is not predicted as causing serious eye damage (Category 1) or as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage (No category) with the Isolated Chicken Eye test method. Additional testing (in vitro and/or in vivo) are required to establish a definitive classification.
