Other effects:
Red/purple staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test
substance was observed during the observation period. This
staining hampered scoring of erythema at 1, 24, 48 and/or 72
hours after dosing. No test substance remnants were seen.

Red/purple staining of the fur on the head and paws, caused
by the test substance, was noted during the observation
period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to OECD 405, EU Method B.5, EPA OPPTS 870.2400 and JMAFF test method, Everzol Red CDN Crude showed that non-irritant to the eye. Therefore, Everzol Red CDN was not met a category based on GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the NOTOX Study Plan for 487478. There were no test article effects on body weight. Everzol Red CDN Crudewas given by a single ocular application at 58.6 mg amount to NZW rabbits and followed by ocular examination within 7 days. Three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge. The observed irritation had completely resolved within 72 hours in one animal and within 7 days in two animals. No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed. On the basis of the test results given above, the response of the test article was not any irritant to the eye.
