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:
15 May - 16 Jul 1987
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study, tested with the source substance Fatty acids, coco, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 92044-87-6). According to the ECHA guidance document 'Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories' (ECHA, 2012), 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:
2 out of 3 animals showed only slight swelling of the blood-vessels in the conjunctivae 1 hour after instillation. The effects were fully reversible 24 hours after instillation. The fluorescein analysis 24 hours after instillation did not reveal any epithelial damage.
Other effects:
Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed.
