Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical D & C Red No. 6 (CAS no: 5858-81-1) can be considered as not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
Executive summary:

The local eye irritative potential of test chemical D & C Red No. 6 (CAS no: 5858-81-1)was investigated in rabbits’ eye to assess the degree of eye irritancy caused by the chemical.

 

Each rabbit received 2 installation of 0.2 ml of a 10% D & C Red No. 6 aqueous suspension into the conjunctival sac of rabbits 5 times per week for 4 weeks.

 

The chemical producedonly minimal irritative effects after 2 hours which could not confirmed the irritation potential. Hence, on the basis of findingsthe chemical D & C Red No. 6 (CAS no: 5858-81-1)can be considered as not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
