Irritant / corrosive response data:
Mean DRAIZE scores for six animals at 24, 48 and 72 hrs respectively:
Corneal Opacity: 0, 0, 0
Iris Lesion: 0, 0, 0
Conjunctivae: 5.7, 3.3, 1.7

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores for the study substance were 0, 0, 0.9, and 0.4, respectively. These findings do not warrant classification of the study substance as an ocular irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

The study substance was administered to one eye of six New Zealand White rabbits to assess for ocular irritation; the other eye was used as a control. Clinical observations were made 1 and 4 hours immediately after treatment and daily thereafter. Ocular damage was assessed and scored according to the Draize method. Mild conjunctival redness and/or swelling were noted in all animals at 24 and/or 48 hours post-dosing. Discharge was noted sporadically throughout the study. The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores for the study substance were 0, 0, 0.9, and 0.4, respectively. These findings do not warrant classification of the study substance as an ocular irritant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
