This evaluation was performed on day 2 and repeated thereafter whenever necessary.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Very slight to severe conjunctival reactions, including a very slight to severe chemosis (grades 1 to 4), a very slight to moderate redness of the conjunctiva (grades 1 to 3) and a clear to whitish purulent discharge, were observed in all animals from day 1 up to day 11 (1/3 animals) or 21 (end of the observation period, 2/3 animals).
A slight iritis, which could have been masked by a corneal opacity between day 1 and day 2 in all animals and between days 9 and 18 in 1/3 animal, was noted in all animals from day 3 up to day 5, 6 or 8.
A very slight to severe corneal opacity (grades 1 to 4), which sometimes covered the area of the eye, was recorded in all animals from day 1 (2/3 animals) or 2 (1/3 animals) up to day 7, 10 or 22 (end of the observation period).
Whitish and/or brownish areas were observed on the conjunctiva of all animals from day 4 (2/3 animals) or 5 (1/3 animals) until day 10, 18 or 22 (end of the observation period).
Neovascularization was noted in 1/3 animals from day 10 until the end of the observation period (day 22).
Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 3.7, 2.7 and 4.0 for chemosis, 3.0, 3.0 and 3.0 for redness of the conjunctiva and 2.7, 2.7 and 2.3 for corneal opacity. Due to the corneal opacity which sometimes masked details of the iris, the mean scores for iris lesions could not be calculated.
See details in tables 7.3.2/1 and 7.3.2/2 - Other effects:
- Withish and/or brownish area on the conjonctiva, neovascularisation and withish purulent disharge.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the 2,2,2-trifluorethanol is classified in Category 1 (Irreversible effects on the eye, H318) according to the Annex VI of the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD No. 405 (1987) and EC (92/69/EEC, B.5) guidelines and in compliance to the GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of left eye of 3 male New Zeland White Rabbit. After the instillation the substance was not remained. Animals were then observed for 21 days for eye edema and erythema of the conjunctive, corneal opacity and iris lesion.
Eye rritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the instillation of the substance. The mean individual score were calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs).
The mean individual scores were 3.7/2.7/4.0 for chemosis, 3.0/3.0/3.0 for conjunctival erythema, 2.7/2.7/2.3 for corneal opacity which were not completely reversible within the end of the study (21 days). The corneal opacity covered sometimes the whole area of the eye. Slight iridial lesions (mean individual score 1.0/1.0/1.0) were observed but were completely reversible in all animals.
Under the test conditions, the 2,2,2-trifluorethanol is classified in Category 1 (Irreversible effects on the eye, H318) according to the Annex VI of the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
