- Details on study design:
- SCORING SYSTEM:
The data relating to the conjunctivae were designated by the letters A (redness), B (chemosis) and C (discharge), those relating to the iris designated by the letter D and those relating to the cornea by the letters E (degree of opacity) and F (area of cornea involved). For each tissue the score was calculated as follows:
Score for conjunctivae = (A+ B + C) x 2
Score for iris = Dx5
Score for cornea = (Ex F) x 5
Using the numerical data obtained a modified version of the system described by Kay J Hand Calandra JC (1962), J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 13, 281-289 (see Appendix 3) was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test item.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.
OTHERS: One drop of local anaesthetic instilled into both eyes 1 to 2 minutes before treatment

Moderate conjunctival irritation persisted in one treated eye with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in two treated eyes at the 24-Hour observation.
Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes at the 48-Hour observation.
One treated eye appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation and two treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-Hour observation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Remarks:
- Based on Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study, methyl n-amyl ketone does not need to be classified for eye irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of methyl n-amyl ketone to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with OECD TG 405 and EC No. 440/2008 Method 85. Three rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of the undiluted substance. A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced moderate conjunctival irritation. One treated eye appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and two treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-Hour observation. As the effects were fully reversible, no corneal opacity or iritis was observed, and conjunctival effects of grade 2 were observed at 24h in one animal only, methyl n-amyl ketone does not need to be classified for eye irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
