Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Specification
Three New Zealand White rabbits were supplied by David Percival Ltd., Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, U.K. At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.70 - 3.12 kg and were approximately twelve to sixteen weeks old. After a minimum acclimatisation period of five days each animal was given a number unique within the study which was written with a black indelible marker-pen on the inner surface of the ear and on a cage label.
Husbandry
The animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages. Free access to mains drinking water and food (RABMA Rabbit Diet, Special Diet Services Ltd., Witham, Essex, U.K.) was allowed throughout the study.The animal room was maintained at a temperature o f 18 - 22°C and relative humidity of 46-65%. The rate of air exchange was approximately 15 changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours light and 12 hours darkness.
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- not specified
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 mL
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 72 hours
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.Animals showing evidence of ocular lesions were rejected and replaced.One rabbit was initially treated . A volume of 0.1 mL of the test material was instilled in to the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eye ball. The upper and lower eye lids were held together for about one second immediately after instillation, to prevent loss of the test material , and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test material, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.
Assessment of ocular damage / irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation from Draize J.H. 1959, Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, "The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals i n Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics".
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Examination of the eye was facilitated by use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material does not require to be classified according to the CLP criteria.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1987) No. 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion" referenced as Method B5 in Commission Directive 84/449/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
A single instillation of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation.
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.
Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment.
All treated eyes appeared normal 24 hours after treatment.
The test material does not require to be classified according to the CLP criteria.
