Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
25 - 28 Mar 1991
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study, tested with the source substance decan di acid, dibutyl ester (CAS 109-43-3). In accordance to the ECHA guidance document “Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)”, the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Strong exudation was seen in the treated eyes of all three animals 1 h after application of the test substance. The observed conjunctival reactions (erythema and edema) were only mild and disappeared completely within 48 h. The treated eyes were without any lesion on their cornea and no effects on the iris were observed at any time during the test.
