- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3.
- Details on study design:
- Prior to starting the eye irritation/corrosion study the pH-value of the test substance was determined. Substances with a pH < 2.0 and pH > 11.5 need not to be tested for acute eye irritation/corrosion.
Firstly, the test substance was administered to one animal. As no evidence for a serious damage to the eye of this animal was found during the initial 72 hour observation period (no corrosive effect), the test substance was administered to the other two animals subsequently.
The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered per animal into the conjunctival sacs of the right eyes by gently pulling the lower lids away from the eyeballs for instillation. The eyes were held closed for about one second to prevent a loss of test substance. The weighed amounts of the individual doses were 49, 49 and 50 mg. The left eyes remained untreated and served as a control.
The whole eyes, especially the corneae, the irises and the conjunctivae were examined, using an otoscope lamp.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Cornea and iris were not affected by the test substance. The conjunctiva showed slight redness and chemosis at 24, 48 and 72 h p.a. which was fully reversible at 7 d p.a.
- Executive summary:
Eye irritation was investigated according to the EU- and ORCD-methods. The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of sodium phenoxyacetate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Results:
Corneae and irises: Not affected at any observation point.
Conjunctivae, redness: In all animals some injected blood vessels (score 1) were observed from 1 or 24 h onwards until 72 h p.a.
Conjunctivae, chemosis: Swelling (scores 1, 2 or 4) was seen in all animals 1 h p.a., decreasing in severity with time and lasting until a maximum of 72 h p.a.
Additional findings: Ocular discharge was noted in 1/3 animals only 1 h p.a.
