Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: The right eye of each rabbit remained untreated and served as the reference control.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The eye lids were gently held together for about one second, in order to minimise loss of the test material.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 male animals
- Details on study design:
- TEST MATERIAL INSTALLATION
- Eye examinations: Prior to instillation, both eyes of each rabbit were examined with the aid of a pen light for irritation and ocular defects. The eyes were then checked for opacity using ophthalmic fluorescein sodium strips. The eyes were then irrigated with enough physiological saline (0.9 % NaCl) to remove any excess fluorescein (approximately 30 seconds). Using an ultraviolet lamp, the eyes were checked and evaluated for pre-existing corneal damage. No corneal defects were observed in any of the animals.
The finely ground test material was placed in the everted lower lid (conjunctival sac) of the left eye of each of three rabbits in a stepwise manner.
- Stepwise exposure of animals: A single rabbit was initially exposed to the test material. Prior to instillation, a local anaesthetic (4 % Lidocaine) was used in both the test and control eye. No corrosive effect or severe irritation was observed and all scores were 0 at 7 days post-installation; hence the test was completed using two additional animals.
SCORING SYSTEM: The eyes were evaluated with the illumination of a white light source at intervals of approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4 and 7 days post instillation of the test material according to the "Scale for Scoring Ocular Lesions" (Draize, 1977).
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: At 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4 and 7 days post installation, the eyes were checked for opacity using ophthalmic fluorescein sodium strips. The eyes were then irrigated with enough physiological saline (0.9 % NaCl) to remove any excess fluorescein (approximately 30 seconds). Using an ultraviolet lamp, the eyes were evaluated to verify the extent or absence of corneal damage.
OBSERVATIONS
- Clinical Observations: The rabbits were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality 4 times (at hourly intervals) on the day of test material instillation and once daily thereafter until the end of the observation period.
- Body Weights: Body weights were recorded at the start of acclimatisation, day 1 of treatment (just before test material instillation) and at termination of observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 2
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material caused conjunctival irritation and corneal opacity, which cleared within 7 days. In accordance with EU criteria, the test material requires classification as a Category 2 eye irritant.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test material to cause eye irritation in male New Zealand White rabbits was assessed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 405 and US EPA OPPTS 870.2400 under GLP conditions.
The test was performed in a stepwise manner. A single rabbit was initially exposed to the test material. Since the test material was not corrosive or severely irritating the study was completed using two additional rabbits.
0.1 g of the finely ground test material was placed in the everted lower lid (conjunctival sac) of the left eye of each of three rabbits. The lids were gently held together for about one second, in order to minimise loss of the test material. The right eye of each rabbit remained untreated and served as the reference control. The eyes were evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4 and 7 days post instillation according to the Draize scale for scoring ocular lesions.
There was no iritis observed in any treated eye during the study. At 1 hour post-instillation, conjunctival irritation was noted in the treated eye of all three rabbits. Corneal opacity was observed in the treated eye of all three rabbits at 24 hours. All animals were free of corneal opacity and ocular irritation by day 7 (study termination).
There were no clinical signs of toxicity observed, and none of the animals died, during the study. All rabbits appeared healthy and gained body weight throughout the observation period.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material caused conjunctival irritation and corneal opacity, which cleared within 7 days. In accordance with EU criteria, the test material requires classification as a Category 2 eye irritant on the basis of the average score for corneal opacity observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours being 1 in 3 out of 3 animals.
