Complete reversibility of the irritant effects was seen at the Day 4 examinations.

- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not irritating
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- PC 12-99 (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) was, at most, slightly irritating when instilled into the eyes of New Zealand albino rabbits. There was no evidence of adverse effects on the cornea or iris. Signs of irritation were limited to slight redness of the conjunctivae in 2 of 6 unwashed eyes. One eye was normal by the 72-hour observation and the other eye was normal by Day 4. .
Based on the minimal eye irritation scores obtained in this study, PC 12-99 (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) is not classifiable for eye irritation according to Directive 67/548/EEC, the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) or EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. - Executive summary:
This data is being read across from the source study that tested Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol based on category read across that is explained in the category justification document attached in Section 13 of the dossier.
In a primary eye irritation study, 100 mg of undiluted PC 12-99 (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 9 New Zealand White rabbits (6 eyes were unwashed and 3 were washed). Animals were then observed for 7 days. Ocular reactions were scored at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 4 and 7 days according to the Draize scale of weighted scores. For the 6 unwashed eyes, no signs of corneal opacity, iris irritation, discharge, or chemosis were seen during the study. Redness (Grade 1) was noted for 2 of the 6 unwashed eyes at the 24- and 48-hour examinations and for 1 of the 6 unwashed eyes at the 72-hour examinations. Complete reversibility of the irritant effects was seen at the Day 4 examinations. For the 3 washed eyes, no signs of eye irritation were noted during the study. Irrigation of the eyes was palliative. There were no abnormal systemic signs noted during the observation period for washed or unwashed eyes. Based on the results of this study, PC 12-99 (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) is considered to be, at most, a slight ocular irritant in this study.
Conjunctiva scores = Redness Grade + Chemosis Grade + Discharge Grade x 2 (Maximum grade possible = 20).

Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: The remaining untreated eye of each rabbit served as a control.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 100 mg applied to one eye of each rabbit
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single dose
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 9
- Details on study design:
- Twenty-four hours prior to administration of the test substance, both eyes of each rabbit were examined using 2% fluorescein stain. Prior to installation of the test substance, the eyes were re-examined. The test substance was placed into the right eye of 9 animals by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup. After installation, the upper and lower lids were gently held together for one second to prevent loss of the material. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were rinsed for one minute with lukewarm water immediately following administration of the test material. The contralateral eye of the 9 rabbits remained untreated and served as a control. Eyes were examined at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 4 and 7 days following treatment. The grades of ocular reaction were recorded at each examination using the grading system for irritation according to the method of Draize et al. (1944). The maximum possible scores for eye irritation reactions (excluding necrosis) in this system are: cornea, 80; iris, 10 and conjunctivae, 20. Body weights were recorded on Days -1, 1, and 7.
