Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL or 0.1 g of the undiluted test substance was instilled into one eye of each rabbit. The other eye served as control.
- Concentration (if solution): 100% (undiluted)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
24, 48, 72 h and 7 and 14 d.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Six
Details on study design:
0.1 mL or 0.1 g of the undiluted test substance was instilled into the one eye of each animal, and the other eye served as control. The eyes were evaluated for damage to cornea, iris and bulbar and palpebral conjunctivae at 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 and 14 d after instillation. Any residue of the test substance and accumulated discharge are flushed from the eye each time they are scored.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category II
Remarks:
Migrated information (reversible effects on eye) Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the undiluted test substance can be assessed to be a irritating to the eyes. According to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008) the test substance can be considered to be a category II- eye irritant (with reversible effects on the eye).
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of the test substance, amides, C18 -unsatd., N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) was investigated using New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, 191.11.

A volume of 0.1 mL or 0.1 g the test substance was instilled into one eye of each of six New Zealand white rabbits; the other eye served as control. The eyes were evaluated for damage to cornea, iris and bulbar and palpebral conjunctivae at 24, 48, 72 h and 7 and 14 d.

 

Irritation response in the conjuctiva was observed in terms of redness, chemosis and discharge. The mean conjcutival redness score was 2 in 4/6 animals. Further, mean irritation score of 11.33, 7.67, 5.67, 3.33 and 2.33 was observed after 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 and 14 days of observation. Except for conjuctival redness, which was the most prominent response and was present in 3/6 animals, the remaining eye irritation response (i.e., chemosis and discharge) were reduced to almost 0 by Day 14.

Under the test conditions, the undiluted test substance canbe assessed to be a irritating to the eyes. According to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008), the test substance can be considered to be a category II- eye irritant (with reversible effects on the eye).
