Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study comparable to guideline study (partly limited documentation, e.g. no details about the test substance; 50 µL instead of 100 µL test substance instilled; eye not washed out).

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
(no details about the test substance; 50 µL instead of 100 µL test substance instilled.)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Internal standardized test method (BASF-Test): 50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye in each of 2 animals. The animals were examined after 10 min, 1 and 3 h on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. Findings were recorded daily. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405.
GLP compliance:
no

Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application (not washed out)

Observation period (in vivo):
8 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
