Irritant / corrosive response data:
Group 1 Rabbits (eyes rinsed after 5 mins): Four out of five animals gave a positive response at the 24 hour observation. the reaction reduced and no positive reaction was apparent at 7 days.

Group 2 Rabbits (eyes rinsed after 24 hours): All three animals gave a positive response at the 24 hour observation. The reactions reduced and all eyes were clear at 7 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a US guideline study, instillation of tetraammine platinous chloride (0.1 g) to the right eye of eight rabbits for 5 min or 24 hr caused irritation which was fully reversible within 7 days.
Executive summary:

In a US guideline study, the eye irritant potential of tetraammine platinous chloride was assessed in eight female New Zealand white rabbits. A group of three rabbits received a 0.1 g instillation of the powdered test material to the right eye. After 24 hr the eyes were rinsed and the animals were observed for up to 7 days. Another group of five rabbits were subject to the same procedure though the eye was rinsed after 5 minutes.

Redness and swelling of the conjunctiva occurred within 1 hr of exposure in both groups, and was fully reversible within 7 days. No effects were evident in the iris or cornea within the observation period. No differences in the severity of the conjunctival effects were apparent for the two exposure times.

Based on the results of this study, the test material should be classified as an eye irritant (category 2) under EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
