Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Chemisch-pharmazeutische Fabrik
- Age at study initiation: 9 - 13 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2310 - 2880 grams
- Housing: metal cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum standard rabbit pellet - Nafag No. 814
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum fresh water
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 +/- 3 C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light cycle day


Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test article. The right eye remained untreated and served as a control.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, 72 hours.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male rabbits

Any other information on results incl. tables

The occular reactions were evaluated according to the OECD scoring system 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material. The test material induced irritation of the conjunctiva within 72 hours after instillation. The observation period was therefore extended to 7 days to determine the reversibility of the reactions. Because the mean values of the scores 24 to 72 hours after instillation are below the threshold of significance, the test material can be classed as non irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate is not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of Trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of three 9 -13 week old male New Zealand white rabbits for 72 hours.  Animals then were observed for 7 days. 

 In this study, trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate is not an eye irritant
