Eye irritation

Sodium 2-formylsulphonate has been tested for eye irritation on three male albino rabbits.

The study was conducted according to the OECD Guideline N. 405. The eye treated was washed 24h after exposure with saline solution.

The only adverse effects observed during the study were:

- redness (level 1) 24h after exposure only in animal 3 that was fully reversible after 72h

- some liquid excretion from the eye of each of three animals 1h after exposure but fully reversible after 24h for all animals.

The observation after 24h, 48h, 72h and 7 days showed no sign of cornea opacity, no effect on iris and no chemosis for none of the three rabbits.

 

Conclusion

The substance is not skin or eye irritating according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on above studies, there is no concern regardin skin/eye irritation for Sodium 2-formylsulphonate

The substance is not skin or eye irritating according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008).
