Irritant / corrosive response data:
No irritation at either the conjunctivae, iris or cornea (score of 0) was recorded in any treated animal, during the whole observation period of the study (72 hours).
Other effects:
There was no indication of a systemic effect.
Blue staining of the fur around the treated eye, due to the colour of the test item, was noted in the animals during the whole observation period.
No signs of pain or distress were observed during the study.
No relevant changes in body weight were seen during the course of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No signs of irritation were recorded in any treated animal during the observation period.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation of the test item was investigated in rabbits.

A 0.1 g aliquot of the test item was introduced into the right eye of a total of 3 animals. The resulting reaction to treatment was assessed approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing.

No irritation at either the conjunctivae, iris or cornea (score of 0) was recorded in any treated animal, during the whole observation period of the study (72 hours).

There was no indication of a systemic effect.

Blue staining of the fur around the treated eye, due to the colour of the test item, was noted in the animals during the whole observation period.

There were no signs of pain/distress after dosing.

Changes in body weight were not remarkable.

These results indicate that the test item has no irritating effects on the eye of the rabbit.

European Directives concerning the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Council Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and subsequent revisions) would suggest the following:

Classification: No category

Signal word: No signal word required

Hazard statement: No hazard statement required
