Irritant / corrosive response data:
Scoring was not posisble in all animals after 24 hours due to staning of the eyes ad fur around the eyes.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item is a dye-like substance. There was no permanent staining, but due to the intene colour, without washing, it was not possible to score redness, opacity or iris effects at the early time points in some animals. However, since the colour cleared sufficiently to make a score at 48 and 72 hours and there were no observed effects of opacity or iris effects there was assumed to have been no iris effects and no effects exceeding an opacity of 2 at any time. Where redness scording was not posisble, it was estimated that the score was a maximum of 3 at 24 hours after exposure based on scientific opinion and experience of the laboratory staff.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance caused significant staining, affecting scoring at some of the early time points, but significant or persistent conjunctival or corneal irritant effects. All effects were fully reversible within 1 week. The effects of the substance are considered to classify the substance as a Cat 2 irritant.
Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation has been assessed by instalation of 0.1g of test substance. to the eyes of three male rabbits in accordance with the OECD 405 test guideline in compliance with GLP.
