Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU, GHS, 2007
Conclusions:
The purpose of this test was to determine the irritation potential of hydrocarbons, C7-C9, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics to rabbit eye. 0.2 mL of test substance was added to the right eye of two male and two female rabbits. The animals were scored for irritation at 0.5 hrs after applications, and also at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after application. All animals showed conjunctival redness (score of 0-1) at the 0.5 hr observation. No other signs of irritation were noted. The test substance is not irritating to eyes according to OECD GHS guidelines.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbon C7-C9, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics based on analogue read across.

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Strain: albino
- Source: Ranch Rabbits, Crawley, Sussex
- Weight at study initiation: 3 kg

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.2 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
