Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Data from reports from 1982 to 2011
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Justification for type of information:
Octafluoropropane is a gas, making testing technically difficult. However, as the attached reports explains, it can be considered a saturated perfluorocarbon, a class of compounds with near identical toxicology properties.

We have several toxicity reports supporting our position; the details in this end point are taken from the first, which is also the most recent.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on studies with other unsaturated perfluorocarbons, we can be confident octafluoropropane is not an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Based on studies with other unsaturated perfluorocarbons, together with experience of its use as a device in eye surgury, we can be confident octafluoropropane is not an eye irritant.
