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:
23 - 26 Feb 1998
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study. According 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.
Justification for type of information:

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application without washing
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h

Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the eye was not washed after application

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: during the 24-hour reading time point, a solution of 2% fluorescein in water (adjusted to pH 7.0) was instilled into both eyes of each animal and the extent of corneal epithelial damage was assessed using a UV-light.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1-hour reading time point 3/3 rabbits had slight conjunctivae (score 1, 1, 1), which was still present in 1/3 rabbits at the 24-hour reading time point. The effect had cleared completely within 48 hours. No other eye irritation effects were observed in any rabbit at any time point (see Table 1).
Other effects:
There was no mortality, and no clinical signs were observed during the study period.
