Details on study design:
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: light of a manual lamp for examing the reactions and fluorescein for evaluating corneal lesions

SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea
Opacity: degree of density (readings should be taken from most dense area)*
No ulceration or opacity: 0 Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre);
details of iris clearly visible: 1
Easily discernible translucent area; details of iris slightly obscured: 2
Nacrous area; no details of iris visible; size of pupil barely discernible: 3
Opaque cornea; iris not discernible through the opacity: 4
Maximum possible: 4
* The area of corneal opacity should be noted

Iris
Normal: 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia;
or injection; iris reactive to light (a sluggish reaction is considered to be an effect: 1
Hemorrhage, gross destruction, or no reaction to light: 2
Maximum possible: 2

Conjunctivae
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae; excluding cornea and iris)
Normal: 0
Some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected): 1
Diffuse, crimson colour; individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
Diffuse beefy red: 3
Maximum possible: 3

Chemosis
Swelling (refers to lids and/or nictating membranes)
Normal: 0
Some swelling above normal: 1
Obvious swelling, with partial eversion of lids: 2
Swelling, with lids about half closed: 3
Swelling, with lids more than half closed: 4
Maximum possible: 4

DEFINITIONS:
1. Eye irritation is the production of changes in the eye following the application of a test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which are fully reversible within 21 days of application.
2.Eye corrosion is the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which is not fully reversible within 21 days of application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not an eye irritant
Executive summary:

Direct Black 22 was tested for eye irritation according to the Real Decree 363/1995 is the transposition of Directive 67/548/EEC in Spanish legislation.

0.1 g of TS were applied to three male New Zealand White rabbits, for 72 hours; observation period was of 7 days

Result

All lesions observed were completely reversible maximum in 72 hours.
