Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reversibility of any observed effect: Changes not fully reversible within 1 day
The study was terminated after 24 hours following observations of severe effects in 2 rabbits. No further animals were treated.
Other effects:
The ocular lesions reached the maximum for each paramater within 24 h after the administration of the substance. The lesions caused severe damage to the eyes and the animals were humanly sacrificed due to poor conditions.
Rinsing the eyes within 30 seconds after application (1 animal) did not produce significant changes in the severity of the effects.

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:
Severe ocular effects were observed within 2 to 24 hours after treatment. The study was terminated.
Executive summary:

The eye irritant potential of the test item GM102E was investigated in a test performed on New Zealand White rabbits according to the Draize method. 

100 mg of test item was applied during 30 secondes before washing. The effects were intended to be observed during 7 days after application.

The study was terminated after 24 hours following observations of severe effects in 2 rabbits. No further animals were treated.

The ocular lesions reached the maximum for each parameter within 24 h after the administration of the substance. The lesions caused severe damage to the eyes and the animals were humanly sacrificed due to poor conditions.

Rinsing the eyes within 30 seconds after application (1 animal) did not produce significant changes in the severity of the effects.

Based on these results and according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP), GM102E should be classified for serious eye damage (Eye dam. Category 1, H318).
