Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material produced mild to moderate conjunctival irritation in the albino rabbit eyes. At Day 7, very slight irritation was noted for 2/6 animals and no irritation noted for 4/6 animals. At Day 14 no irritation was noted for 2/6 animals exhibiting irritation at day 7. Corneal involvement was observed in 5/6 animals however it was not evident at day 7. No iritis was noted during the 14 day observation period
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 ml of undiluted test substance was placed into one eye of each of the New Zealand White rabbits (6 animals).The test material produced mild to moderate conjunctival irritation in the albino rabbit eyes which fully reversed in all animals by Day 14. Corneal involvement was observed in 5/6 animals however it was not evident at day 7. No iritis was noted during the 14 day observation period.

 

The test substance is not classified as in irritant in accordance with the classification system of GHS.
