Irritant / corrosive response data:
AVERAGE SCORE (24+48+72 hour) 10.7/110 combined cornea, iris and conjunctivae.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The individual scores were not reported only the calculated Draize scores.


DESCRIPTION OF LESIONS: There was immediate slight discomfort with slight redness and copious discharge at 10 minutes which developed to 

slight to moderate redness with copious discharge at 1 hour. At 24 hours there was barely perceptible corneal dullness, the reaction of the iris to 

light was sluggish in 2 rabbits (maximum score 1), conjunctival involvement (slight to moderate redness with whitish discharge) was observed in 

all eyes at this time period.

REVERSIBILITY: After 24 hours there was a gradual improvement through to 120 hours when the iris and cornea appeared normal. All eyes 

appeared  completely normal by 7 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
Undecyl alcohol is described as slightly irritating to the eye in this test. Under GHS criteria the results suggest classification as mild. Under EU criteria undecyl would not be considered irritant.
