Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Conjunctivae score was not assessed due to staining of the test chemical. The effects observed in the rabbit eyes were not reversible even after 72 hours. The mean scores for corneal opacity, iris and chemosis after 24,72 hours of observation were 3.3, 1.9, 3.2 respectively.Based on the scores, test chemical acetate can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes.

Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of test chemical acetate was assessed in rabbits according to Fed. Reg. 38, No. 187, § 1500.42, 1973 (Draize test) Guidelines. 100 mg of the undiluted test chemical was instilled into one eye of the 6 albino rabbits. The untreated eye served as control. The animals were exposed to the test chemical for 24 hours, and the treated eyes remained unwashed throughout the study. Rabbits were observed for signs of irritation 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after instillation of the test chemical. The ocular reactions at 24 and 72 hours were scored according to method of Draize.

Conjunctivae score was not assessed due to staining of the test chemical. The effects observed in the rabbit eyes were not reversible even after 72 hours. The mean scores for corneal opacity, iris and chemosis after 24,72 hours of observation were 3.3, 1.9, 3.2 respectively.

Based on the scores, the test chemical acetate can be considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes.
