Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Draize Scores and according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

Isophorone nitrile was investigated for irritant effects on the eye and associated mucous membranes of 1 male and 2 female rabbits. The test substance was applied in a single mean dose of 0.06 - 0.1 gram into one conjuntival sac each of three animals. At cornea and iris no alterations were detectable, the conjunctiva showed hyperemia (vessels injected). Additional lesions were discharge with moistening of lids and hair just adjacent to lids and considerable areas around the eye. The findings were recorded up to 24 hours after application. With an irritation index of 2.0/110 isophorone nitrile

is classified as non-irritant on the eye of the rabbit.
