Results and discussion
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- overall irritation score
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 24, 48 and 72 hours
- Score:
- 0
- Max. score:
- 0
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- One hour after the treatment, diffuse reddening of the conjunctivae and reddening of the iris was noted in all animals. Furthermore, slight swelling of the conjunctiva was observed and slight discharge was noted in the treated eyes of all animals.
At the 24-hour reading, no abnormal findings were observed (reversibility of all signs of irritation). - Other effects:
- No mortality occurred.
No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study.
The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.
No necropsy was performed at the end of the study.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- With reference to the reported scores and observations the test itemdoes not need to be classified as irritant to the rabbit eye according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
- Executive summary:
The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 405. The test item was applied by instillation of 0.1 mL into the left eye of each of three New Zealand White rabbits. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test item instillation.
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately. All individual mean scores were 0.00 for all three animals.
The instillation of test item into the eye resulted in mild, early-onset and transient ocular changes, such as reddening of the conjunctivae, discharge and chemosis, which were mostly present at the 1-hour reading. 24 hours after the treatment, no signs of eye irritation were observed in the conjunctivae of the animals. Furthermore, no abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the examinations. No corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals. No staining of the treated eyes by the test item was observed and no clinical signs were observed.
Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the rabbit eye.
With reference to the reported scores and observations the test item does not need to be classified as irritant to the rabbit eye according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
