IN-LIFE DATES: 11.05.1995 to 15.05.1995

Test system

Vehicle:
other: aqueous solution, administered undiluted.
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
Amount applied: 0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
NA
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first animal, two additional animals were tested. These animals received one drop of local anaesthetic to minimise pain.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): No

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: standard ophthalmoscope

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study conducted to OECD 405 and to GLP (reliability score 1) sodium salt of HEDP was not irritating to the eyes of rabbits. There wer minimal conjunctival effects at the one hour time interval, but these were not sufficient to trigger classification.
