Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Abbaye de Bellefontaine (49122 Bégrolles en Mauges, France)
- Weight at study initiation: mean weight of 2.5 kg
- Housing: the rabbits were individually housed in polystyrene cages 0.35 x 0.55 x 0.32 m. Each cage was equipped with a food container and a water bottle.
- Diet: animals were fed ad libitum with a certified pelleted Rabbit diet Ref. 112C (U.A.R., Villemoisson sur Orge, France) during the study.
- Water: free access to tap water filtered with Millipore filters in water bottles. Routine bacteriological and chemical analysis of water were made, in order to detect major contaminants, by the Laboratoire Municipal, 76000 Rouen, France.
- Acclimation period: at least seven days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 ± 3 °C
- Humidity (%): 50 ± 20 %
- Air changes: the incoming non-recycled air was filtered by an absolute filter
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): the light/dark cycle was 12 hours per day.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after application, conjunctival reactions were observed in all animals. From D6, no ocular reactions were observed in animals no 01, 02, 03, 04, 05. For animal 06, a slight chemosis persisted until D14, and an opacity persisted from D2 to D21.

Conclusions:
Non irritant
Executive summary:

Method

The test sample was applied into the conjunctival sac of six New-Zealand rabbits. The eyes of the first three animals were rinsed thirty seconds after application. The study was conducted according to the recommendations of the OECD Guideline 405.

Results

One hour after application, a slight conjunctival reactions were observed in all animals. On Day 5, they had disappeared in five animals. A slight chemosis persisted until Day 14 in animal 06. On Day 2, a diffuse area of opacity, greater than half the corneal surface, was observed in one animal (n° 06). The reaction regressed but persisted until Day 21.

No effect on the iris and cornea of the rinsed animals was observed.

Conclusion

Non irritant.
