Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No signs of irritation were observed in the treated eyes of rabbits at any time point.
The scores obtained at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days were 0.0. Hence, Disperse Black 9 can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of Disperse Black 9 was assessed in rabbits. 100 mg of the powdered dye was instilled in one eye of 6 rabbits and the other eye served as control. The treated eyes were observed and scored at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days. The maximum attainable score was 110.

No signs of irritation were observed in the treated eyes of rabbits at any time point.

The scores obtained at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days were 0.0. Hence,Disperse Black 9 can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
