Body Weights

Body weights at the termination of the study ranged from 2.15 to 2.75 kilograms. Body weight changes appear to be normal.

Observations and Mortality

No animal exhibited signs of systemic toxicity and no deaths occurred during the investigation.

Necropsy

Evaluation of the test animals at necropsy by the pathologist revealed no significant gross pathologic findings.

Positive scores only noted in the conjunctiva lasted through the 24-hour examination interval. No positive findings were noted upon further examination with fluorescein dye.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
When 100% DDC (diallyl diglycol carbonate) was instilled into one eye of each of nine albino rabbits (6 not rinsed and 3 rinsed) the primary eye irritation index was determined to be 8.0 and was classified as minimally irritating. Instillation of water into the treated eyes of three rabbits did not change the classification but decreased the score to 3.0.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to determine the irritative potential of the test material following a single exposure in one eye of albino rabbits. Nine rabbits (6 not rinsed and 3 rinsed) were used.

0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled in the right eye of each animal. All animals were observed for signs of systemic toxicity and mortality until sacrifice on day 14. Body weights on the day of exposure and the termination were recorded. A gross necropsy were performed on the visceral and thoracic cavities. Primary Eye Irritation Index was calculated using the standard scoring system of Draize.

No positive findings were noted in two ocular tissues: cornea and iris. Positive scores were only noted in the conjunctiva lasted through 24 -hour interval. The one-hour interval provided the highest mean score (8.0) for 100% DDC (diallyl diglycol carbonate) and was therefore used as the primary irritation index and classified the test compound as minimally irritating using the method of Draize. Instillation of water into the treated eyes of three rabbits did not change the classification but decreased the mean score to 3.0.
