Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance is classified as eye irritation Category 2 (H319: Causes severe eye irritation) according to Regulation (EC) N°1272-2008 (CLP) and as Category 2A "irritating to eyes" according to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405/EU Method B.5 guidelines and in compliance with GLP, 3 New Zealand White male rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of test substance in one eye while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and Days 4 to 9 following treatment and graded according to the Draize method.  

 

Fully reversible slight to moderate conjunctival reactions were noted during the observation period. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 for cornea score; 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 for iris score; 2.0 / 2.0 / 1.3 for conjunctivae score and 1.0 / 1.0 / 0.3 for chemosis score.

Under the test conditions, test substance is classified as eye irritation Category 2 (H319: Causes severe eye irritation) according to Regulation (EC) N°1272-2008 (CLP) and as Category 2A "irritating to eyes" according to the GHS.

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