Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean conjunctivae, chemosis, iris, and cornea scores for the Sample V were 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, and 0.0 respectively. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C10-C12, isoalkanes,, <2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

Sample V (0.1 mL, neat) was administered to the right eye of three rabbits to assess for occular irritation. Irritation and toxicity were monitored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-treatment. Irritation was scored according to the Draize methodology. No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was observed. Only slight signs of irritation were observed in the rabbits. The mean conjunctivae, chemosis, iris, and cornea scores for sample V were 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, and 0.0 respectively. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
