Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The primary irritation index of chemical TK 11451/ Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) was estimated to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0 for the conjunctivae. Hence Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
Executive summary:

An ocular irritation study was conducted on six rabbits (3/sex) of Russian breed to determine the primary-irritation index, which serves as a measure of the acute irritation, provoked by the compound Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) on the eye of the rabbits.

In this test, about (0.1g) of the test substance Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, the eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The right eye served as a control. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment. The reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 24 hours and after 2,3,4 and 7 days on the basis of the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the AFDO.

The primary irritation index of chemical TK 11451/ Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) was estimated to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0 for the conjunctivae. Hence Pigment Red 23 (CAS No: 6471-49-4) was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
