Executive summary:

The possible irritation or corrosion by the test substance following a single application to the intact skin of rabbits was determined applying the OECD and the EU-methods. Results:

Test sites, exposed for 3 minutes and 1 hour (one animal):

- No adverse skin reactions were noted immediately after the patch removal.

Test sites, exposed for 4 hours (three animals):

- Erythema/Eschars: Not affected.

- Oedema: Not affected.

Adipic acid dihydrazide is not irritating to skin.

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
The weighed amounts of the individual doses were 60, 60 and 61 mg.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered per animal into the conjunctival sacs of the right eyes by gently pulling the lower lids away from the eyeballs for instillation. The eyes were held closed for about one second to prevent a loss of test substance.The left eyes remained untreated and served as a control.
Observation period (in vivo):
Both eyes of the animals were examined within 24 hours before the instillation and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours p.a.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
Prior to starting the eye irritation/corrosion study the pH-value of the test substance was determined. Firstly, the test substance was given to one animal. As no evidence for a serious damage to the eye of this animal was found during the initial 72 hour observation period (no corrosive effect), the test substance was administered to the other two animals subsequently.

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Adipic acid dihydrazide is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

The possible irritation by the test substance following a single application to the intact eyes of rabbits was determined applying the OECD and the EU-methods.

Results: Cornea, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were not affected by the test substance.

Adipic acid dihydrazide is not irritating to eyes.
