For each animal the ratings for cornea (a), iris (b) and conjunctivae (c) were added for the respective time of observation. For each time of observation the mean value was calculated for all animals. The highest determined irritation score for any time of observation was used for classification according following evaluation classes:
0-10..........non irritant
11-25.......slightly irritant
26-56.......moderately irritant
57-110.....severely irritant

Furthermore, 4 of 6 animals had a mean cornea score >/= 3. Iris scores of 2 were reached by all test animals except one. There was no reversibility observed within the 72 h recovery period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test item induced severe ocular lesions in rabbits which were irreversible within the observation period. Therefore, the substance has to be classified as follows:
- 67/548/EEC: R41
- 1272/2008/EC:Irreversible effects on the eye ( Category 1) / H318 - Executive summary:
The test item was tested for its eye irritant properties in 6 Himalyan rabbits.The study was performed equivalent to OECD Guideline 405. Effects on cornea, conjunctivae (redness and swelling) and iris were observed in all animals after application. These signs were not reversible within 72h.
With reference to the reported scores and the irreversibility of the observed effects the test item has to be classified as severely irritant to the eyes according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC):
- 1272/2008/EC:Irreversible effects on the eye ( Category 1) / H318
