Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
All effects were fully reversible within the observation period. Mean scores calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis indicate that the substance is irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

o-phenylenediamine was tested for eye irritating properties according to OECD 405. Following this protocol 100 mg of the undiluted test substance were placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 New Zealand White Rabbits each. The right eye served as untreated control. 1, 24, 48, and 72h, and 7, and 14d after application eyes were examined. 24 h after treatment eyes were rinsed with physiol. saline. Mean scores (mean of 24, 48, and 72h) were calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis for each rabbit.

All effects were fully reversible within the observation period. Mean scores calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis indicate that the substance is irritating to eyes.
