Irritant / corrosive response data:
In all experimental animals showed a marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva excepted for 1 animal that showed a very strong redness (grade3) were observed.3 animals presented mild hyperemia of the iris. In 5 animals after instillation of drop per fluorescein (2%) has been an erosion of the cornea.All the findings were reversible within 7 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The ocular irritation potential of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone was evaluated according to OECD Guideline 405 Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion.
The mean irritation scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were as follows: cornea = 0.8/10; iris =0.1/2; conjunctivae = 1.2/3; chemosis = 0.4/4. All the effects observed were fully reversible within 7 days.
Based on the scores, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone can be considered to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone was evaluated according to OECD Guideline 405 Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion. 6 male New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study.

100 mg of test chemical was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and the effects were observed till 7 days. The untreated eyes served as control. The ocular observations were noted and scored at 2 h, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days. In all experimental animals showed a marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva excepted for 1 animal that showed a very strong redness (grade3) were observed. 3 animals presented mild hyperemia of the iris. In 5 animals after instillation of drop per fluorescein (2%) has been an erosion of the cornea.

The mean irritation scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were as follows: cornea = 0.8/10; iris =0.1/2; conjunctivae = 1.2/3; chemosis = 0.4/4. All the effects observed were fully reversible within 7 days.

Based on the scores, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone can be considered to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit eyes.
