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:
03 Jun -10 Jun 1988
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP-Guideline study, tested with the source substance Decanoic acid, mixed diesters with octanic acid and propylene glycol (CAS No. 68583-51-7). According 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:
Cornea: no effects were observed during the study period in any animal.
Iris: no effects were observed during the study period in any animal.
Conjunctivae: after 1 h mild redness was observed in 2 of 4 animals. In one of theses animals the effect was fully reversible within 6 h after application. The second animal showed mild redness until 6 h after application being fully reversible after 24 h as well.
Chemosis: no effects were observed during the study period in any animal.
Exudation: no effects were observed during the study period in any animal.
