Test animals / tissue source

Species:
other: Isolated Chicken Eyes
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
CHICKEN HEADS COLLECTION AND TRANSPORT
Species of chicken: ROSS 308

Test system

Vehicle:
physiological saline
Amount / concentration applied:
The Trichloroacetic acid was mixed with saline solution at a concentration of 30 (w/v) %.
Observation period (in vivo):
The control eye and test eyes were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 60, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. Minor variations within ±5 minutes were considered acceptable.
The cornea thickness and cornea opacity were measured at all time points. Fluorescein retention was measured on two occasions, at base line (t=0) and 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.

Any other information on results incl. tables

After the zero reference measurements, the eye was held in horizontal position and 30 μl of 1,2-Dichloropropane was applied onto the centre of the cornea such that the entire surface of the cornea was covered. After 10 seconds, the surface was rinsed with saline. The positive control eyes were treated in a similar way with 30 μl Trichloroacetic acid 30 (w/v) %. The negative control eye was treated with 30 μL of isotonic saline.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
In this in vitro eye irritation study in the Isolated Chicken Eyes model with 1,2-Dichloropropane, the results suggests that the test item was moderately irritating, but according to the guideline OECD 438, 1,2-Dichloropropane does not require a classification as a severe eye irritant; an in vivo rabbit study is required for classification.
