Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Centre Lago S.A., 01540 Vonnas, France
- Age at study initiation: about 4 - 5 months
- Identification: ear tattoo
- Weight at study initiation: 3.15 – 3.36 kg
- Housing: individually in Stainless steel wire mesh cages with grating, floor area: 3000 cm2
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Kliba-Labordiät, Provimi Kliba SA, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland (about 130 g/animal per day), ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before the beginning of the study


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 24
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Untreated left eye of same animals
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 ml
- Concentration (if solution): 100%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application and then in weekly intervals maximally up to day 15
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the treated eye of the animal(s) was rinsed with 3 to 6 ml of hand warm tap water for 1 to 2 minutes using a syringe with a blunt probe
- Time after start of exposure: about 24 hours after application


SCORING SYSTEM:
The evaluation of eye irritation is performed according to the quoted guidelines. In addition to specific observations recommended by the regulatory authorities, evaluations were made of discharge from the eye and the area of cornea affected by the lesions.

Area of cornea involved (ar):
1 = >0 <= 1/4
2 = > 1/4 < 1/2
3 = > 1/2 < 3/4
4 = > 3/4


Discharge (di):
0 = No discharge
1 = Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner canthus of normal animals)
2 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids
3 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye

Description of any ocular findings not covered by this scale were recorded.

EVALUATION OF RESULTS
For evaluation, the calculation of the mean values of corneal opacity, iris, conjunctival redness and chemosis for readings 24, 48 and 72 hours were quoted. Additionally, the reversibility of the observed findings was taken into account.
The evaluation is based on the criteria of Annex VI of the Commission Directive 67/548/EEC that were in place on the date of report signature.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp (Daylight tubes "Lumilux" (L 58W/860 PLUS ECO 25X1, Osram, Germany)
