Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: The left eye of the rabbits remained untreated and was used for control purposes.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL corresponding to approximately 70 mg - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- one single application
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment. An additional observation was made in one animal on day 7 to assess the reversibility of the ocular effects.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 1 male, 2 females (1 initially treated, 2 treated after consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal)
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): not done
SCORING SYSTEM:
Initial local pain reaction:
No response: 0
A few blinks only, normal within one or two minutes: 1
Rabbit blinks and tries to open eye, but reflex closes it: 2
Rabbit holds eye shut and puts pressure on lids, may rub eye with paw: 3
Rabbit holds eye shut vigorously, may squeal: 4
Rabbit holds eye shut vigorously, may squeal, claw at eye, jump and try to escape: 5
The Draize scale was used for numerical scoring of the ocular irritation. Using the numerical data obtained, a modified version of the system described by Kay J.H. and Calandra J.C., J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 1962 13 281-289 was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test material.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Examination of the eye was facilitated by use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test material 2-ethylanthraquinone was classified as a mild irritant to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system. The test material is classified as non-irritant to the rabbit eye according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material 2-ethylanthraquinone to the eye o f the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed that described in the OECD TG 405.
A single application o f the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation. Diffuse corneal opacity and iridial inflammation was confined to one treated eye. All treated eyes appeared normal 72 hours after treatment or on day 7.
The test material was classified as a mild irritant to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system. The test material is classified as non-irritant to the rabbit eye according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
