Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No special observations were observed in rabbits after 7 days. The mean irritation score for cornea, conjunctivae (redness and swelling) and iris after 7 days were 0,0,0 respectively.
Based on the scores and observations, Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The objective of the study was to determine the  ocular toxicity of Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines. 3 New Zealand White rabbits(2 female and 1 male) were used for the study. 100 mg of the test material / rabbit was placed in the eyelid pocket of one eye created by peeling off the lower eyelid. The second eye remained untreated and served as a control. For the eye examination a hand slit lamp was used.The observation period lasted 72 hours or 7 days. The observation period lasted 72 hours or 7 days. Each animal was observed at 1h, 24, 48, 72 hours and, if necessary, 7 days after treatment for ocular lesions.

The ocular lesions were scored according to the following OECD Guidelines where appropriate responses were recorded.

No special observations were observed in rabbits after 7 days. The mean irritation score for cornea, conjunctivae (redness and swelling) and iris after 7 days were 0,0,0 respectively.

Based on the scores and observations, Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
