Toxicological information

Eye irritation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Guideline study to GLP
Confirms irritancy of simple organic acid salts of chromium III
Acetate salt is seen as a suitable surrgoate for formate; the two salts are water soluble and with similar pH

yes

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Chromium acetate
EC Number:
241-562-9
EC Name:
Chromium acetate
Cas Number:
17593-70-3
Molecular formula:
3Cr, < 3(C2H4O2) < 1(OH)
IUPAC Name:
Chromium III hydroxyacetate
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Confirms irritancy of simple organic acid salts of chromium III and that Eye Dam 1 is not needed
Acetate salt is seen as a suitable surrgoate for formate; the two salts are water soluble and with similar pH

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
in vitro irritation score
Run / experiment:
1
Value:
ca. 4.4
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The low viability is close to figures seen for Eye Dam 1.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
It is noted that this method alone cannot validate the division between Eye Dam 1 and Eye Irrit 2 and Eye Dam 1 is assigned as a precautionary approach
The substance is typically supplied in acidic mixtures.
