Any other information on results incl. tables

1-Octylamine was corrosive to the eye. All four animals exhibited severe conjunctival and corneal damage and necrosis. 

All animals were killed at 24 h for  humane reasons.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
N-octylamine is highly corrosive to the rabbit's eye
Executive summary:

The eye irritating properties of n-octylamine were examined in a non-GLP study that was conducted and evaluated in accordance with OECD TG 405. Four rabbits received 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac of one eye without rinsing. Severe conjunctival (mean score 3 for redness and 3.75 for chemosis) and corneal damage (mean score 4) and necrosis was seen in all four animals at 24 hours after treatment, and all animals were killed at 24 hours for humane reasons (Biodynamics, 1985).
