Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean scores for chemosis is > 2 , so the substance could be considered as irritating R36 according to 67/548/EEC directive, but the effects are not reversible at the end of the study (7 days), the reversibility at 21 days can not be evaluated so a classification as R41 is proposed.
The corresponding CLP classification would be cat 1.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation properties of quinoline have been assessed in a test on 6 rabbits according to a US guideline (CFR Title 16, section 1500.42). The effects were observed at 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days.

The mean chemosis score over 24 -72 h is 2.2 and the mean redness score is 2. However, the effects are not reversible at the end of the 7 days period, so the product is considered as severely irritating for the eye.
