- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- A diffuse crimson-red conjunctival appearance or injection of the conjunctival blood vessels was observed in all rabbits during the first 48 hours following instillation of the test item. Very slight or slight chemosis and discharge were observed during the first 24 hours after treatement. Iritis was observed in one rabbit at the 24-hour examination.
The test eye of two rabbits was overtly normal at the 48 hour examination and the third rabbit at the 72 hour examination.
Instillation of the test material caused slight or practically no pain response.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Ditetradecyl peroxydicarbonate was classified as non-irritant to the eye.
- Executive summary:
The potential of ditetradecyl peroxydicarbonate to cause damage to the conjunctiva, iris or cornea was assessed in three New Zealand White rabbits, each subjected to a single ocular instillation of 0.1 g of the test material. Ocular reactions were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment.A diffuse crimson-red conjunctival appearance or injection of the conjunctival blood vessels (mean score 0.5), very slight or slight chemosis (mean score 0.1) and discharge were observed in all rabbits during the first 48 hours following instillation. Iritis was observed in one rabbit at the 24 hour examination (individual score 0.3). The test eyes of all rabbits were overtly normal at the 72 hour examination. Instillation of the test item caused a very slight initial pain response. Ditetradecyl peroxydicarbonate was classified as non-irritant to the eye.
