Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance Sodium cyanate revealed only very weak irritating effects to rabbit´s eye (mean 24/48/72 h scores: cornea score 0.22, iris score 0.22, conjunctivae score 1.11, chemosis score 0) wich were reversible within at least 3 days.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 g of sodium cyanate (98 %) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 6-7 months old White Russian rabbits (3 females) for 72 h hours. Animals then were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. The substance Sodium cyanate revealed only very weak irritating effects to rabbit´s eye (mean 24/48/72 h scores: cornea score 0.22, iris score 0.22, conjunctivae score 1.11, chemosis score 0) which were reversible within at least 3 days. None of the individual animals showed a mean score over 24/48/72 h treatment higher than the threshold values given in 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
