Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
24 h
Reversibility:
not specified
Remarks on result:
positive indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of test chemical reduced the response, but corneal opacity and congestion of the iris with no pupillary light reaction were still noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The chemical Methanesulphonyl chloride (CAS no: 124-63-0) was considered as severely irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

An irritation study was conducted on rabbits for chemical Methanesulphonyl chloride (CAS no: 124-63-0) to assess its ocular irritation potential.

 

The rabbits were treated with single application of Methanesulphonyl chloride which caused irrigation of the eye 20 to 30 sec after instillation reduced the response, but corneal opacity and congestion of the iris with no pupillary light reaction were still noted.

 

Hence the chemical Methanesulphonyl chloride (CAS no: 124-63-0)was considered as severely irritating to the eyesof rabbits.
