Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The test material p-Methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) was considered to be not irritating to the eyes of Vienna White rabbits.
Executive summary:

Skin irritation study of p-Methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) was conducted on three Vienna White rabbits to determine the degree of eye irritancy.

 

The undiluted chemical was instilled into the eye of each rabbit and eyes were not rinsed. The eyes were scored according toDraize method.

 

Moderate discharge was observed 1 h and slight discharge was observed 24 h after application in 3/3 animals. All the observed effects were reversible within 72 hours.

 

According to the conditions of the test, the test substance does not fullfil the criteria of 67/548/EEC and GHS UN for classification, respectively. Therefore, the chemical p-Methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) wasconsidered to be not irritating to theeyes of Vienna White rabbits.
