Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
slightly irritating
Conclusions:



Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study according to OECD TG 405 Desmodur MT was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 female rabbits. Eye irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours using the Draize scale. The mean irritation index for redness of conjunctivae was 1.2 of max. 3 (1.0 - 1.7), the mean irritation index for chemosis of conjunctivae was 0.4 of max. 4 (0.3 - 0.7). Signs were fully reversible in all animals within three days. No irritation effects were seen at cornea or iris 24 hours after instillation. The weight of these evidences indicates that the test substance may be considered as "slightly irritating to the eyes". No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

 

According to classification criteria Desmodur MT is not an irritant to the eyes.
