Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study and according to the Guidance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, TBPAAQ will not be classified for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

A primary eye irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for TBPAAQ to produce irritation from a single instillation via the ocular route.

One-tenth of a milliliter (approximately 0.05-0.06 grams) of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three healthy rabbits. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. Ocular irritation was evaluated by the method of Draize et al.

No corneal opacity or iritis was noted for any treated eye during the study. Approximately 24 hours after instillation, conjunctivitis was noted in one treated eye which reverted to normal within 48 hours. All animals were free of any ocular irritation within 48 hours. Under the conditions of the study and according to the Guidance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, TBPAAQ will not be classified for eye irritation.
