- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were observed to be 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.33; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00 respectively.
Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed within 72 hours.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the eyes of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification. - Executive summary:
Acute eye irritation/corrosion study was conducted in rabbits to evaluate the eye irrritant nature of the test chemical. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines using 3 female New Zealand White rabbits.
Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas; 0.1 ml of test item was instilled in the other (treated) eye of each rabbit. The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hour, day 7, day 14 and day 21 for animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour after test item instillation. Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions
In the initial test, 0.1 g of test item (as such) was applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of animal no.1 whereas the left eye of the rabbit served as the control. As animal no. 1 showed no severe ocular lesions a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (animal no. 2 and 3); 0.1g of test item (in pulverized form) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of both the rabbits and left eye served as the control.
Untreated eye of all the three rabbits were normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours.
Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in animal no. 1 whereas no swelling (normal) was observed in animal no. 2 and 3.At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 50%, 30% and 30% damage in animal no. 1,2 and 3 respectively. Corneal damage had reversed at 72 hours observation period in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas at 48 hours in animal no. 2.
Observation at 48 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was observed in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas blood vessels normal in animal no. 2; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals. Conjunctivae - Blood vessels normal in all the animals; Chemosis: No swelling (normal) was observed in all the animals.
The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were observed to be 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.33; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 0.00 respectively.
Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed within 72 hours.
Hence, it was concluded that the test substance was Non-Irritating to the eyes of female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and being classified as “Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.
