Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
percent tissue viability 
Value:
98
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Other effects / acceptance of results:
After treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to
98.0 %. This value is above the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60%).
All validity criteria were met. The criterion for optical density of the negative control was
fulfilled: The OD value was 1.7 (> 0.8 and < 2.8).
The positive control induced a decrease in tissue viability as compared to the negative
control to 33.3%.
Variation within the replicates of the controls and the test item was acceptable (< 20%).
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, HEXANITROSTILBENE is considered non- eye irritant in the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test.
