OTHER
Rabbits were examined and found to be free of dermal irritation and skin abnormalities prior to the start of the test. The left side of each animal was abraded with a bent tip needle. Three abrasions approximately 2 - 3 cm apart, extending the length of the exposure site were made. The abrasions were sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum but not deep enough to produce bleeding. The right side of each animal remained intact. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- Number of animals:
- 3 rabbits; one male and two female.
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back and sides of each animal.
- Type of wrap if used: 2.5 x 2.5 cm 4 ply surgical gauze patches which were secured with non-irritating adhesive tape. The torso was wrapped with plastic which was secured with non-irritating adhesive tape. In order to permit dermal observations during the 4-hour exposure period, the wrappings were fitted with a window which was opened to examine the test site. The sites were semi-occluded for 4 hours at which time the patches were removed.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Not specified

Initially, the right eye of one rabbit was dosed. Since no discomfort was noted at the time of dosing, the left eye and both eyes of the remaining two rabbits were dosed. The test article was placed by syringe into the conjunctival sac which was formed by gently pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye. After instillation, the lids were held together briefly to ensure adequate distribution of the test article.
VEHICLE
The test material was used as supplied.
OTHER
Prior to the start of the test, both eyes of each animal were examined for any evidence of irritation or abnormalities of the cornea, iris and/or conjunctiva. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- - Left eye: 20-30 seconds prior to washing
- Right eye: Test material was not removed - Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 rabbits; one male and two female.
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The left eye of each rabbit was flushed for one minute with lukewarm water. The right eye of each animal remained unwashed.
- Time after start of exposure: Twenty to thirty seconds after instillation of the test article.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Ocular reactions were graded according to the numerical Draize technique. Both eyes of each rabbit were examined for irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctiva at one hour post-dose, and at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose. The eyes were scored again on Day 7. Additional signs were described.

Additional information
Skin irritation
The skin irritation potential of the test material was assessed in an in vivo study using a method similar to OECD 404 using three New Zealand white rabbits.
Two aliquots of the test material totalling 1.0 mL were applied to the clipped skin on the back and side of three animals and covered with an occlusive dressing. Animals were observed for skin reactions, including ulceration and necrosis, during the 4 hour exposure period at 3 minutes post-dose, and at 1 and 4 hours post-dose. The test sites were scored again at 24, 48 and 72 hours and again on day 7. Bodyweights were recorded pre-test. The general health of each animal was monitored at each observation time. In order to permit dermal observations during the 4-hour exposure period, the wrappings were fitted with a window which was opened to examine the test site. The sites were semi-occluded for 4 hours at which time the patches were removed.
The mean erythema score at 24, 48 and 72 hours was recorded for each rabbit and ranged from 0.3 to 1.67 out of a maximum score of 4.
The mean oedema score at 24, 48 and 72 hours was recorded for each rabbit and ranged from 0.0 to 1.67 out of a maximum score of 4.
Therefore, while slight erythema and oedema were recorded initially, the reactions were not sufficient to classify the substance as a skin irritant. Both erythema and oedema were absent by day 7.
Eye irritation
The eye irritation potential of the test material was assessed in an in vivo study using a method similar to OECD 405 using three New Zealand white rabbits.
Initially, the right eye of one rabbit was dosed with 0.1 mL. Since no discomfort was noted at the time of dosing, the left eye and both eyes of the remaining two rabbits were dosed. The test article was placed by syringe into the conjunctival sac which was formed by gently pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye. After instillation, the lids were held together briefly to ensure adequate distribution of the test article. Prior to the start of the test, both eyes of each animal were examined for any evidence of irritation or abnormalities of the cornea, iris and/or conjunctiva. Both eyes of each rabbit were examined for irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctiva at one hour post-dose, and at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose. The eyes were scored again on Day 7.
The left eye of each rabbit was flushed for one minute with lukewarm water twenty to thirty seconds after instillation of the test article. The right eye of each animal remained unwashed.
Washed eyes: There was no corneal opacity or iritis noted at any observation period. Conjunctival irritation was noted in 3/3 eyes which cleared by Day 7.
Unwashed eyes: There was no corneal opacity or iritis noted at any observation period. Conjunctival irritation was noted in 3/3 eyes which cleared within 48 hours. The mean chemosis score at 24, 48 and 72 hours was recorded for each rabbit and ranged from 0.0 to 0.33 out of a maximum score of 4.
The reactions were not sufficient to classify the substance as an eye irritant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation
The mean erythema and oedema scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours were recorded for each rabbit and ranged from 0.3 to 1.67 and 0.0 to 1.67, respectively, out of a maximum score of 4.
Therefore, while slight erythema and oedema were recorded initially, the reactions were not sufficient to classify the substance as a skin irritant.
Eye irritation
There was no corneal opacity or iritis noted at any observation period. Conjunctival irritation was noted in 3/3 eyes which cleared within 48 hours. The mean chemosis score at 24, 48 and 72 hours was recorded for each rabbit and ranged from 0.0 to 0.33 out of a maximum score of 4.The reactions were not sufficient to classify the substance as an eye irritant.
