Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the directive of the EEC commission 93/21/EEC from May 4, 1993 Aluminiumtriformiat, Batch No. 46799/01, shall be classified as "R41 - risk of serious damage to eyes".
Executive summary:

The local effect of Aluminiumtriformiat was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline 405, "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion", February 1987, and EEC Guideline B.5 "Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation)", January 1997.

Three female albino rabbits were exposed to 0.1 g of the test article in one eye. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after dosing.

Well-defined signs of irritation were observed in the treated eyes. One animal still showed irreversible effects at the end of the study on Day 35.

According to the directive of the EEC commission 93/21/EEC from May 4, 1993 Aluminiumtriformiat, Batch No. 46799/01, shall be classified as "R41 - risk of serious damage to eyes".
