Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: albino

Test system

Vehicle:
other: test substance usually is used undiluted, if dilution is necessary, preferred solvent is propylene glycol, followed by water and in some cases deodorized kerosene ("Deobase")
Controls:
other: untreated eye serves as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): starting amount is 0.005 mL of undiluted chemical, volumes applied are scaled up until grading is possible, or substance is diluted if lowest volume of undiluted substance is categorized Grade 10
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
not given
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
usually 5
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Carpenter and Smyth: Chemical Burns of the Rabbit Cornea, Am. J. Ophthal., 29: 1363 (1946) - see table1
individual scores are added together and then divided by the number of eyes to obtain the score of the injury and determine grade of injury (table2)

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein staining

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Remarks:
animal #1 - #5
Time point:
other: 24 hours
Score:
7
Max. score:
10
Reversibility:
not specified
Irritant / corrosive response data:
test substance is graded 7, meaning that an excess of a 15 % solution already gives injuries to the eye of up to 5.0 points (table1), including cornea opacity, iritis and necrosis
Other effects:
not given
