Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP Guideline study. According to ECHA guidance, a study with a read-across substance can have no reliability of higher than 2. The study itself is valid without restriction.

New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Kleintierfarm Madoerin AG, CH-4414 Fuellinsdorf
- Age at study initiation: 12-14 weeks
- Sex: male
- Weight at study initiation: 2060-2170 g (within ± 20% of mean value)
- Housing: individually in metal cages
- Diet: ad libitum; standard rabbit pellet - Nafag No. 814, Gossau, Switzerland
- Water: ad libitum (quality of the drinking water met the specifications of the "Schweizerisches Lebensmittelbuch" (Edition 1972))
- Acclimation period: 5 days
- Rationale for choice: The albino rabbit is the recommended species for acute eye irritation/corrosion studies

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The left eye remained untreated and served as a control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.1 ml

The test substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test material.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
eyes were not washed after instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: no

SCORING SYSTEM: according to the OECD scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp
