SCORING SYSTEM: The conjunctiva, iris, and cornea of each treated eye were evaluated for evidence of irritation approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours following administration of the test substance using the Draize scale.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: At each observation period, eyes were examined using illumination and magnification. Fluorescein stain examinations were conducted at the 24-hour and each subsequent evaluation.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance produced conjunctival redness (score of 1 or 2) in two rabbits, conjunctival chemosis (score of 1 or 2) in three rabbits, and discharge (score of 2 or 3) in two rabbits. Signs of irritation completely resolved in the rabbits by 24, 48, or 72 hours. There were no test substance-related body weight effects or clinical signs noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
Executive summary:

The potential of the test item to induce eye irritation was assessed according to the OECD Guidelines 405.


A single dose of approximately 75 or 79 mg (equivalent to 0.1 mL) of the test item was administered into the lower conjunctival sac of the right eye of three male young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes remained unwashed after treatment. The conjunctiva, iris, and cornea of each treated eye were evaluated for evidence of irritation approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours following administration of the test substance.
The test substance produced conjunctival redness (score of 1 or 2) in two rabbits, conjunctival chemosis (score of 1 or 2) in three rabbits, and discharge (score of 2 or 3) in two rabbits. Signs of irritation completely resolved in the rabbits by 24, 48, or 72 hours. Based on the mean degree of eye irritation observed at 24 to 72 hours, classification is not required.
