Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, a single ocular application of the test item L-Cystine at a dose of 0,1 g produced irritant effects, which were fully reversible within 72 hours.
- Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the present study, a single ocular application of the test item L-Cystine to rabbits at a dose of 0.1 g produced irritant effects, which were fully reversible within 72 hours. Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.
In conformity with the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations according to Annex VI of Commission Directive 2001/59/EC, the test item L-Cystine has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
According to Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test item L-Cystine has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
According to GHS (Globally Harmonized Classification System) the test item L-Cystine has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
Neither mortality nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.
The test item L-Cystine has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
