Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The calculated mean individual score for each individual lesion within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for chemosis, redness, discharge, iris and corneal lesions
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted ST 06 C 93 was instilled into the right eye of 3 female New Zealand White Rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale. 

Slight conjunctival hyperaemia in all 3 animals one hour after dosing, and, in 2 animals, a slight discharge from the treated eye were the only signs of irritation observed during the study.

The calculated mean individual score for each individual lesion within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.0/0.0/0.0 for chemosis, redness, discharge, iris and corneal lesions.

 

Under the test conditions, ST 06 C 93 is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
