Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
02 Jun 1986 - 06 Jun 1986
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study, tested with the source substance fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers (CAS No. 61788-89-4). In accordance to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
96 hours; reading time points: ~1, 24, 48 and 72 hours

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctival redness was observed in all animals, as well as slight chemosis in two of the rabbits. In all animals these conjunctival effects disappeared within 96 hours. A slight increase in lacrimation was observed on days 1 and 2. Adverse effects on the cornea and the iris were not observd on days 1 and 2. Adverse effects on the cornea and the iris were not observed in any of the rabbits during the entire observation period. Treatment of the eyes with fluorescein did not reveal any epithelial damage.
Other effects:
Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed.
