Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Justification for not submitting the in vitro study.
The new legal requirements (21 June 2016) require an in vitro eye irritation study. However the previous data requirements were met with an in vivo study during dossier compilation for the >1000 T/y tonnage band. Therefore there is no need to repeat the study using the alternative test method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The maximum mean score for ocular lesions observed in the experiment was 0. Hence, under the experimental conditions the test substance, N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide (Proviplast 024) was considered as Non-Irritant (N) to the eyes of New Zealand white rabbits.
Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation/corrosion study was conducted with N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide in New Zealand white rabbits. The maximum mean score for ocular lesions observed in the experiment was 0. Hence, under the experimental conditions the test substance, N-n-butylbenzenesulphonamide was considered as Non-Irritant to the eyes of New Zealand white rabbits.
