Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
No details.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.1 mL
- Concentration: undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
2 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
2 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2 females
Details on study design:
0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled into one eye of each animal. The lids were gently held together for one second and the eye was then rinsed
with 20 mL Iukewarm water at 4 seconds after instillation. The eyes were examined 2 hrs after instillation. The scoring system used was that according to Draize.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Despite the rinsing treatment severe corneal, iris and conjunctival lesions were displayed by both animals within 2 hrs of instillation. The test was
terminated at this point. lt is reasonable to assume that similar levels of injury would be produced if full scale testing were conducted, and that the
product would be classified as corrosive to the eye.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
It is reasonable to assume that similar levels of injury would be produced if full scale testing were conducted, and that the product would be classified as corrosive to the eye.
