Executive summary:

Acute eye irritation/corrosion potential of the test article was evaluated in rabbits following OECD guideline No. 405 “Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion.” A single dose of 0.1 mL undiluted test material was placed in the lower lid of the right eye of 3 male New Zealand White Albino rabbits. The lower lid was gently pulled away from the eyeball for dosing and the lids were gently held together for approximately 1 second to prevent loss. The untreated left eye of each animal served as the reference control. Animals were observed for eye irritation at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the instillation of the test substance. At the 72 hour observation a solution of 2% fluorescein in water was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantitatively determine corneal epithelial damage. Animal F39167 had a conjunctivae redness score of 2 at the 1 and 24 hour observation points and conjunctivae chemosis score of 1 at 1 hour (chemosis completely resolved therafter). The animal’s conjunctivae redness had reduced to a score of 1 at 48 hours and completely resolved (score of 0) by 72 hours. Animal F39168 had a conjunctivae redness score of 2 at the 1 hour observation point and conjunctivae chemosis score of 1 at 1 hour (chemosis completely resolved therafter). The animal’s conjunctivae redness had reduced to a score of 1 at 24 and 48 hours and had resolved (score of 0) by 72 hours. Animal F39169 had a conjunctivae redness score of 1 at 1 hour and 24 hours and conjunctivae chemosis score of 1 at 1 hour (chemosis completely resolved therafter). The animal’s conjunctivae redness had resolved (score of 0) by 48 hours. Based on the observed scores a mean Primary Irriation Index (PII) was calculated for each observation point. At 1 hour the mean PII was 5.3/110, at 24 hours 2.7/110, at 48 hours 1.3/110, and at 72 hours 0.0/110. Based on the results of the study and according to EU GHS classification criteria the test article does not need to be classified as an eye irritant.
