Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctival redness was observed in the treated eyes of all rabbits one hour after dosing. Three rabbits had slight chemosis, and two rabbits had slight ocular discharge one hour after dosing. The ocular irritation was resolved in all rabbits by 24 hours after test substance administration, and the test was terminated 72 hours after test substance administration.
Other effects:
Instillation of the test substance into the eye had no effect on body weights.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritating in rabbits
Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 405 and EPA guideline 81-4. The test substance was assessed for the potential to cause ocular irritation after instillation of a 0.1 mL aliquot of neat test material into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of six New Zealand White rabbits.

Slight conjunctival redness was observed in the treated eyes of all rabbits one hour after dosing. Three rabbits had slight chemosis, and two rabbits had slight ocular discharge one hour after dosing. The ocular irritation was resolved in all rabbits by 24-hours after test substance administration. The test was terminated 72 hours after test substance administration. Instillation of the test substance into the eye had no effect on body weight.
