Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be not irritating to the rabbit's eye.
Executive summary:

The eye irritant effect of the test item was investigated in a GLP compliant study according to OECD guideline 405. Four female albino rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of the test item in the left eye. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. Very slight signs of irritation were observed among the rabbits. The following mean values, based on the results from the 24, 48 and 72 hour readings, were calculated:

 

Cornea opacity

Iris lesion

Redness of

conjunctiva

Oedema of
