Irritant / corrosive response data:
The score refers to redness of conjunctiva, which was evident in all animals 1 h after treatment (score 1 in all 3 animals). The value of 0.11 is the mean (of the three assessments at 24, 48 and 72 h) for all animals combined as well as for each individual animal. At 48 and 72 h, this score was 0 in all animals. Other parameters examined (opacity of cornea, iris, chemosis of conjunctiva) showed scores of 0 at the relevant time points.
Other effects:
Red staining of eye discharge was observed at 1 hour after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
67/548/EEC: Eye irritation: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Eye irritation: no classification warranted

In a OECD guideline and GLP compliant primary eye irritation test in rabbits, Test item (Pigment Red 112) caused grade 1 (1/3 animals) chemosis after one hour and conjunctival reddening grade 1 (3/3 animals) after 1 hours and grade 1 (1/3 animals) after 24 hours. No effects were observed for these and other parameters at the other reading times up to 72 hours. Therefore, Test item (Pigment Red 112) was regarded as not eye irritating.
