SCORING SYSTEM:
Grades for ocular lesions:

CORNEA
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense is taken for reading)
0 No ulceration or opacity
1 Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (exept for slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible.
2 easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured.
3 Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible.
4 Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity.

IRIS
0 Normal
1 Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia or injection; any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (lsuggish reaction is positive)
2 No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any of all these together)

CONJUNTIVAE
Redness: (refers to the most sever effect of parpebral and bulbar conjuntivae in comparison to the control eye)
0 Blood vessels normal.
1 Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 Diffuse crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible.
3 Diffuse beefy red.

Chemosis: lids and/or nictating membranes.
0 No swelling.
1 Any swelling above normal (includes nintating membranes)
2 Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids.
3 Swelling with lids about half closed.
4 Swelling with lids more than half closed.


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: otoscope lamp.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The untreated eyes ("control eyes") were normal at each observation time.
The eyes, trated with the test susbtance ("test eyes") were normal before the instillation.
After the instillation with the test substance, the following findings were made:
Corneae: not affected.
Irises: not affected.
Conjuntivae, redness: a score of "1" in all animals from 1 h p.a. onwards until a maximum of 48 h p. a.
Conjuntivae, chemosis: a score of "2" or "1" in 2/3 animals only 1 h p.a., a score of "4" in 1/3 animals 1 h p.a., afterwards decreasing and lasting until 48 h p.a.
Additional findings: Ocular discharge was noted in all animals from 1 h p.a. until a maximum of 24 p.a.
Other effects:
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results, the test substance is not an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Assessment of the possible irritating or corrosive effects of the pure test substance following a single administration into a conjunctival sac of rabbits was determinated according to OECD 405 Guideline and B.5 EU Method, with GLP. The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. No symtoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred. Based on the results, the test substance is not an eye irritant.
