Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: In house stock supply
- Age at study initiation: 39 to 40 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 3.34 to 4.35 Kg
- Housing: Each animal was housed individually in a plastic cage with perforated floors.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): 150 g of standard laboratory rodent diet per day. A dietary supplement of hay was offered during acclimatization and throughout the study observation period.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Provided ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 21 to 27 weeks prior to the start of study

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 16 to 20°C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): Not specified.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/dark cycles.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g


Duration of treatment / exposure:
Three rabbits each received a singular ocular instillation of 0.1 g of the test substance
Observation period (in vivo):
Up to 1 week after instillation
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three rabbits. A single animal was treated in advance; in the absence of a severe effect in this animal two further animals were committed to the study.
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Eyes were flushed with saline to remove residual test substance at 24 and/or 48 hours after instillation as required per animal.

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize as per the OECD 405 guideline.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: An ophthalmoscope or pencil beam torch was available for use to facilitate inspection of the eyes.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Iritis, a crimson-red conjunctival appearance, slight or moderate chemosis and moderate discharge were evident in the treated eye of all animals one hour after instillation. Injection of the conjunctival blood vessels or a crimson-red conjunctival appearance and slight or moderate chemosis were apparent during the next three days; slight discharge was evident in two animals 24 hours after instillation and in one animal at the 48 hour examination. The treated eye of all animals was overtly normal one week after instillation. Instillation of the test item gave no initial pain response.
Other effects:
There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.
