Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EC Regulation 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In this study, dodecanedioic acid was an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 g of dodecanedioic acid was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of six male young adult White Russian rabbits. Animals then were observed for 13 days. 

Cornea were not affected. Iris was very mild and reversibly affected. Chemosis and erythema were recorded for conjunctival effects, mean score (24 -72h) was 2.5 for iridal redness. Eyes were normal with 1 - 7 days. In this study, dodecanedioic acid was an eye irritant..

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

No skin irritation was noted in two studies in rabbits.

Reversible eye irritation was noted, namely average score for conjunctival erythema (24h-72h) was 2.5. Effects noted were reversible within 10 days.


Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the criteria of EC regulation 1272/2008 and based on the results of the studies the test item has to be classified as eye irritant (Cat. 2) and labelling required with Warning, H319: Causes serious eye irritation.
