Irritant / corrosive response data:
The score refers to redness of conjunctiva, which was evident in all animals 1 h after treatment (score 2 in all 3 animals). The value of 0.3 is the mean (of the three assessments at 24, 48 and 72 h) for all animals combined as well as for each individual animal. At 48 and 72 h, this score was 0 in all animals. Other parameters examined (opacity of cornea, iris, chemosis of conjunctiva) showed scores of 0 at all time points.
Other effects:
Blue staining of eye discharge was observed at 1 hour after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:

67/548/EEC: Eye irritation: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Eye irritation: no classification warranted

In a OECD guideline and GLP compliant primary eye irritation test in rabbits, Hostaperm-Violett RL spez. (Pigment Violet 23) caused grade 1 chemosis after one hour and conjunctival reddening grade 2 after 1 hours and grade 1 after 24 hours. No effects were observed for these and other parameters at the other reading times up to 72 hours. Therefore, Hostaperm-Violett RL spez. (Pigment Violet 23) can be regarded as not eye irritating.
Executive summary:

A study with the test item according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5 was performed to investigate the irritation potential to the rabbit eye.

One and 24 hours after treatment the conjunctivae of the animals showed definitely injected blood vessels up to a diffuse crimson red colour. Additionally, a very slight swelling and slight from substance coloured eye discharge were observed in the animals one hour after treatment. 48 hours after treatment all signs of irritation were reversible.

Testing of Pigment Violet for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the substance is not irritating to the eye.
