Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item is irritant to eyes and should be classified in Category 2 according to CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, 3 healthy adults female rabbits of the New Zealand White strain were exposed to 0.1 mL of undiluted test item in one eye while the other eye corresponded to the control. The eyes were examined unwashed and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing and graded (scale of lesion scores according to Directive n° 2004/73/EC and OECD guideline 405).

The occular reactions observed during the study have been moderate. The individual mean scores for conjunctival chemosis were 1.0, 1.0 and 1.7, conjunctival redness scores were 2.0, 1.7 and 1.3, cornea opacity scores were 2.0, 2.0 and 0.7 and iris lesion scores were 0.0 for all animals.

At the conjuctivae level, a moderate redness, noted 24 h after the test item installation and totally reversible between the 6th and 7th day of the test, was associated with a moderate chemosis, noted 1h after the test item instillation and totally reversible between the 5th and 6th day of the test. At corneal level, moderate opacity was observed 24 h after the test substance administration and totally reversible between the 3rd and 6th day.

Therefore, the test item is considered as irritating to eyes according to CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
