Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The procedure employed is in accordance with the test for eye irritation outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (Part 191.12, Chap. 1, Title 21) for evaluating hazardous substances.
The test material was placed in one of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye, remaining untreated, served as the control. Animals were observed at 24, 48, and 72 hours following treatment and scored for irritation properties.
Eye irritation was determined according to the method outlined in the "Illustrated Guide for Grading Eye Irritation by Hazardous Substances". A total score of 110 is possible. A non-irritant must have a score of 10 or less. If, at the end of 72 hours ocular damage appears to be remissible (reversible), the animal is observed for an additional 4-7 days before final scoring is possible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the findings of the in vivo study with rabbits, the test substance is considered to be corrosive to the eyes.
