Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
yes
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Deviation: During the study period, the temperature of the animal room ranged from 21° to 24°C. According to the OECD guideline 405 the
temperature of the experimental animal room should be 20°C (± 3°C). This deviation is not considered to have an effect on the validity of the study.
GLP compliance:
yes
Remarks:
American Petroleum Institute

Test material

Reference
Name:
Unnamed
Type:
Constituent
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): API-83-19, which is Naphtha (petroleum), light alkylate [CAS 64741-66-8]
- Substance type: test substance API-83-19 is a near analogue to Naphta (Fischer-Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear; it`s defined as:
'A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of the reaction products of isobutane with monoolefinic hydrocarbons usually ranging in carbon numbers from C3 through C5. It consists of predominantly branched chain saturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers
predominantly in the range of C7-C10 and boiling in the range 90-160°C (194-320°F).'
--> the test substance API 83-19, which has been tested under an American Petroleum Institute programme, is comparable to 'Naphtha (Fischer-
Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear' and therefore read across is valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No corneal or iridial irritation was seen during the study. All irritation had cleared by the 24-hour observation. On the basis of the test results and in
conformity with the criteria given in Annex VI of the Directive, the test substance 'Naphtha (petroleum), light alkylate' should be classified as 'not
irritating' --> 'Naphtha (Fischer-Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear' should be also classified as 'not irritating'.
