Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- highly irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Irritating [Xi] - R41- Risk of serious damage to eyes
- Executive summary:
In an OECD TG 405 study, 0.1 ml of the test material Genamin 18 R 100 D (octadecylamine), a whitish waxy solid (purity approximately 100%), was applied to the eye of one New Zealand White rabbit. 24 hours after treatment, the eye was washed with 0.9% tepid NaCl solution. From 1 hour on, the conjunctiva showed red beefy discoloration and pronounced chemosis. Iris and cornea showed lesions. Additionally, a clear colourless to whitish-slimy discharge was noted. Due to progressed vascularisation of the eye, the study was terminated after 7 days. Mean Draize scores for conjunctiva redness and chemosis at 24, 48 and 72 hours were 3.0, 3.0 and 3.0. Mean scores for iris were 1.0, 1.0 and 1.0 and for cornea opacity were 2.0, 2.0 and 2.0 (same time points)
According to the results of the study the test substance Genamin 18 R 100 D has to be regarded as irritating (Xi – R41- Risk of serious damage to eyes) in compliance with the criteria laid down in 83/467/EWG.
