Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The chicken eye cornea was treated with 0.1 mL.
- Concentration (if solution): Undiluted test sample, 9.5% TOS.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
After administration, the upper and lower eye lid were carefully closed and subsequently held together for at least one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, 72 hours
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): None
- Time after start of exposure: few seconds

SCORING SYSTEM: The acute irritation of the test sample was classified according to the EC criteria for the labelling and classification of dangerous substances, as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993 and to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS; UN/ECE 2003).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was tested for acute eye irritating properties in an experiment with three albino rabbits. At 48 h after treatment, the eye effects had cleared completely.
According to the EC-standards (as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993) 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was not irritating to eyes. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS; UN/ECE 2003) 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was also not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was tested for acute eye irritating properties in an experiment with three albino rabbits, according to EC Directive 92/69/EC, method B.5 and OECD Guideline no. 405.

The test item caused slight redness of the conjunctivae at the 1 hour and 24 hours observations. At 48 h after treatment, all eye effects had cleared completely.

According to the EC-standards (as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993), 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was not irritating to (human) eyes.

According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS; UN/ECE 2003) 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, batch PPY27209 was also not irritating to (human) eyes.
