Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (Acute Eye Irritation)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The humidity was above the targeted upper limit of 70% during the study due to exceptionally high seasonal humidity. Portable dehumidifiers were ised to lower the humidity levels during this time.
GLP compliance:
yes

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Within one hour of test substance instillation, all three treated eyes exhibited corneal opacity, iritis and 'positive' conjunctivitis with the maximum effect observed at 24 hours. The overall incidence and severity of irritation decreased after 24 hours. All animals were free of ocular irritation by day 7 (study termination).
Other effects:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In the in vivo eye irritation study for decan-1-ol, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, decan-1-ol was concluded to be irritating to eyes.
