Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
test substance was ground to a fine powder
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
Three potions of 94±2 mg of the test substance were dispensed in glass containers with screw caps. Each potion was instilled in the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal using a spatula. The lids were then held gently together for two seconds and released. Immediately after treatment, the animals were transferred to their cages.
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h; examinations after 60 min, 24, 48, and 72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
three female rabbits

Any other information on results incl. tables

No adverse effects on the cornea and the iris were observed in any of the rabbits during the entire observation period. Treatment of the eyes with fluorescein 24 hours after instillation of the test substance did not reveal any corneal epithelial damage. No signs of systemic intoxication were observed in any of the rabbits.

Approx. 60 minutes after exposure slight chemosis in animal #2 and #3 were observed which resolved within 24 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: 67/548/EEC
Conclusions:
The presented guideline study is reliable and adequate for the chemical safety assessment of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyldiamine.
The fully reversibility of the chemosis within 24 hours indicates only mechanical irritation. The data are conclusive but not sufficient for classification according to Regulation 67/548/EEC.
