Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the CLP labeling regulation and was classified as non-irritant. No symbol and risk phrase are therefore required.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation/corrosion study, 98 mg of Direct Red 83:1 was administered once to the non-irrigated right eye of three rabbits. In each case the untreated eyes served as a control.

The aim of this study was to assess the irritancy potential of the test substance after a single administration to the rabbit eye.

A single application of the test substance to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced a transient slight to moderate conjunctival irritation. Diffuse corneal opacity was confined to one treated eye. All treated eyes appeared normal seven days after treatment.

Diffuse corneal opacity was confined to one treated eye at the 24-hour observation. No other adverse corneal effects were noted. Corneal opacity was confirmed using sodium fluorescein B.P. in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation.

Red-coloured staining precluded accurate evaluation of iridial inflammation in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. The reaction were considered to be less than or equal to grade 1.

Red coloured standing prevented accurate evaluation of conjunctival redness in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in one treated eye in the 24-hour observation.

Conjunctival chemosis and discharge were noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment with slight or moderate conjunctival chemosis and discharge in one treated eye at the 24-hour observation. Minimal or moderate conjunctival reddening was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation with minimal conjuctival reddening at the 48 and 72-hour observations. Moderate conjunctival reddenind was noted in one treated eye at the 48 hour observation with minimal conjunctival reddening at the 72 -hour observation. Residual test material was noted around all treated eyes during the study.

Direct Red 83:1 did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the CLP labeling regulation and was classified as non-irritant. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
