Irritant / corrosive response data:
Approximately 70 minutes after exposure animals #1 and #2 showed slight and animal #3 diffuse conjunctival redness. Animal #1 also showed iridial injection temporary, as well as slight chemosis, which was observed in all three rabbits. The slight conjunctival redness noted had resolved in animal #2 by day 7, in animal #1 by day 14 and in animal #3 by day 16.
Treatment of the eye with fluorescein approximately 24 hours after test substance instillation showed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the rabbits. Only animal #1 showed at the first observation slight lacrimation.
Maximum scores were recorded for conjunctival redness (2) and chemosis (1) at one hour after treatment.
Other effects:
No signs of systemic intoxication were observed in any of the rabbits.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Not eye irritating
Conclusions:
Based on these results, TBzTD is not considered as eye irritating.
Executive summary:

Tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBzTD) was tested in the rabbit acute eye irritation/corrosion test. Instillation of approximately 30 mg of the test substance in one of the eyes of each of three albino rabbits resulted in adverse effects on the conjunctivae only. Approximately 70 minutes after exposure all animals showed slight to diffuse conjunctival redness and slight chemosis and one animal showed iridial injection. The injection of the iris and the chemosis had resolved within 24 hours. The conjunctival redness resolved between days 7 and 16. Based on these results, TBzTD is not considered as eye irritating.
