Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye (mean irritation score 24, 48, and 72 hours: 2.5/110.0). Effects on the conjunctivae were noted in all animals at 24 hours (mean score 24 h: 7.6/110) but were reversible within 48 hours. The test substance was classified as not eye irritating according to F.H.S.A.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

100 mg of finely ground Santocure NS vulcanization accelerator was placed into the conjunctivial sac of 6 New Zealand albino male and female rabbits. A 7-d observation period followed application. Eye responses were scored in accordance with the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, 21 CFR, § 191.12 (1964).

The test substance was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye (mean irritation score 24, 48, and 72 hours: 2.5/110.0). Effects on the conjunctivae were noted in all animals at 24 hours (mean score 24 h: 7.6/110) but were reversible within 48 hours. The test substance was classified as not eye irritating according to F.H.S.A.
