Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
expert judgment
Conclusions:
N,N-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)-p-Phenylenediamine Sulfate was found to be irritating when instilled undiluted (without eye rinse) to rabbit’s eye. According to CLP criteria, the registered substance was classified as Category 1 for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this in-vivo eye irritation test was to evaluate eye irritation potential of N,N-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)-p-Phenylenediamine Sulfate when applied once to rabbit eye.

Six rabbits (2 male and 4 female) were used in the study. The 100 mg test substance was applied to the left eye of each rabbit. The test substance was not removed after treatment.

The animals were observed for signs of corneal opacity, iris irritation, conjuctivae redness, lid swelling and discharge on Day 1-4 of study.

The signs of irritation were observed on Day 1-4 after treatment.

Based on above, N,N-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)-p-Phenylenediamine Sulfate was found to be irritating when instilled undiluted (without eye rinse) to rabbit’s eye. According to CLP criteria, the registered substance was classified as Category 1 for eye irritation.
