Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 405 and is well-documented. Hence, the study can be considered as valid and the results as reliable (Klimisch 2). Consequently, the test item is considered as not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study according to OECD Guideline 405 (Bayer AG, Märtins, 1988), 100 µL of the test item (1,3,4-Thiadiazolidine-2,5-dithione, reaction products with hydrogen peroxide and tert-dodecanethiol) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each 3 male adult albino rabbits (strain: New Zealand White) for 24 hours. The untreated eye served as control. After the exposure period, the treated eye was washed with physiological saline. The animals were then observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored according to the method of Draize. Except a slight, fully reversible conjunctivae redness and lacrimation 1 h after exposure in one animal, no other effects were observed.
