0.1 g of the test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye, the other eye remained untreated serving as control.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
Ocular examinations were performed on both right and left eyes 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
- 3 rabbits
- 0.1 g of the test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye, the other eye remained untreated serving as control.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The ocular reactions observed, at the level of each treated eyes were slight to moderate with a rapid reversibility:
- slight to moderate conjunctivae reaction (enanthema, lachrymation and chemosis) recorded 1 hour after the test product instillation and totally reversible between the 7th and 8th day of the test,
- slight to moderate corneal reaction were noted for 2 animals 24 hours after the test product instillation and totally reversible between the 4th and the 6th day of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The results obtained, under these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item:
- is moderately irritant for the eye (Max. O.I = 21.3) according to the classification established in the Journal Officiel de la République Française dated July 10th, 1992.
- and, need not to be classified, according to the criteria for the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances in compliance with the E.E.C. Directive n° 67/548, 2001/59 and 99/45. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
- need to be classified Eye Irritation 2; H319 according to the CLP regulation n°1272/2008/EC
Executive summary:

The test substance was instilled, into the eye of three New Zealand rabbits at the dose of 0.1 g. The experimental protocol was established on the basis of the official method as defined in the O.E.C.D. guideline n° 405 dated February 24th 1987 and the test method B.5 of the directive 92/69 dated December 29th 1992.

The ocular reactions observed, at the level of each treated eyes were slight to moderate with a rapid reversibility: - slight to moderate conjunctivae reaction (enanthema, lachrymation and chemosis) recorded 1 hour after the test product instillation and totally reversible between the 7th and 8th day of the test, - slight to moderate corneal reaction were noted for 2 animals 24 hours after the test product instillation and totally reversible between the 4th and the 6th day of the test.


In conclusion, the results obtained, under these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test substance:

- is moderately irritant for the eye (Max. O.I = 21.3) according to the classification established in the Journal Officiel de la République Française dated July 10th, 1992.

- and, need not to be classified, according to the criteria for the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances in compliance with the E.E.C. Directive n° 67/548, 2001/59 and 99/45. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

- need to be classified Eye Irritation 2; H319 according to the CLP regulation n°1272/2008/EC (2 of 3 animals had a corneal opacity score >= 1, fully reversible in 21 days)
