Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test substance proved to be irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 100 mg (equivalent to approx. 0.1 mL) of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol TM) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 Himalayan rabbits for 24 hours. After 24 hours eyes were washed with physiological saline solution. Animals then were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored according to Table E: Grading of Ocular Lesions of OECD test guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion).

 

Irritation reactions of cornea and conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) developed within 1 to 24 hours after application. Effects on cornea had their peak at 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were absent at day 14. Effects on conjunctiva peaked within 24 to 72 hours, subsided thereafter and were not to be observed at days 7 (Hollander/Hoechst AG; 1975b).

 

In this study, octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD Alkohol TM) is irritating to the eye based on EU legislation.

 

This eye irritation study in the rabbit is acceptable. It complies with OECD guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion).
