Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation, other
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
Considering the structural similarities of both molecules and the probability to act via a common mode of action, it is acceptable to utilise EC 202-429-0 as a read-across source. See attached document for full justification.

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Not specified - from collection of data - in alignment with Fed. Reg. 38 No 187,1500.42, 1973
Observation period (in vivo):

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 animals
Details on study design:
with 6 rabbits, which
was performed according to Fed. Reg. 38 No 187,1500.42, 1973 o-toluidine was judged to be
highly irritating due to slight corneal opacity of the total corneal area, slight to moderate
conjunctival edema and redness and the observed discharge up to the termination of the study on
day 8. Primary irritation score was 31 of max. 110 (BASF AG, 1979).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
o-toluidine was judged to be highly irritating due to slight corneal opacity of the total corneal area, slight to moderate
conjunctival edema and redness and the observed discharge up to the termination of the study on
day 8. Classified as Category 2 (irritating to eyes) for eye damage/irritation according to EC 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

o-toluidine was judged to be highly irritating due to slight corneal opacity of the total corneal area, slight to moderate conjunctival edema and redness and the observed discharge up to the termination of the study on

day 8. Primary irritation score was 31 of max. 110

Classified as Category 2 for eye damage/irritation according to EC 1272/2008.
