Description of key information
The Primary Irritation Index for skin irritation was calculated to be 0.0; AO-26 was classified as ‘non-irritant’ according to the criteria of the ECETOC and did not require labelling in accordance with Commission Regulation 1272/2008.
The highest total mean score was 4.7 occurring at the 1 hour observation; accordingly under the criteria Kay and Calandra (1962) AO-26 was classified as “minimally irritating” to the eye however AO-26 does not require classfcation or labelling in accordance with European Commission regulation 1272/2008.

- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):Lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to give 12 hours of artificial light (06:00 to 18:00 GMT) in each 24 hour period. - Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- Three rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of a volume of 0.1 mL of the test substance.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The eyes of each animal were examined prior to instillation of the test substance to ensure that there was no pre-existing corneal damage, iridial inflammation or conjunctival irritation. Each animal was gently restrained. The dose was instilled into the right eye by pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye ball to form a cup into which the test substance was dropped. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing; the left eye remained untreated.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- The animals were returned to their cages and checked at least twice during the first hour after dosing and at regular intervals throughout the day to ensure no severe injury passed unnoticed. Ocular reactions to treatment were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Injection of the conjunctival blood vessels, very slight chemosis and slight discharge were apparent in the sentinel animal one hour after instillation; the conjunctival injection persisted throughout the first 48 hours after instillation. The treated eye was overtly normal 72 hours after instillation. Injection of the conjunctival blood vessels with slight discharge was evident in the remaining animals one hour after instillation; the treated eyes of these animals were overtly normal 24 hours after instillation. Instillation of the test material gave rise to practically no initial pain response.

- There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.
- Executive summary:
The highest total mean score was 4.7 occurring at the 1 hour observation; accordingly under the criteria Kay and Calandra (1962) AO-26 was classified as “minimally irritating” to the eye however AO-26 does not require classfcation or labelling in accordance with European Commission regulation 1272/2008.
