Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate causes ocular lesions of slight degree. According the FDA-Standards it is not considered to be an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 100 mg of bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate was instilled into the everted lower lid of one eye of 6 New Zealand White albino rabbits for 24 hours. The eyes were not washed after instillation. Animals were observed after 24, 48 and 72 hours and after 7 days. Irritation was scored with the FDA scoring scale. After 24 hours grade 1 of conjunctivae redness and chemosis was observed in all animals. Chemosis was reversible in all animals after 24 hours, redness diminished after seven days. As in terms of conjunctivae irritation scores score 1 is not considered as positive effect and because of the fully reversibility of the effect, bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate is not considered to be an eye irritant.
