Irritant / corrosive response data:

The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight and totally reversible in the three animals:
- at the conjunctivae level: a slight redness, noted 1 hour after the test item instillation and totally reversible between D1 and D2, associated with a slight chemosis, noted only 1 hour after the test item instillation;
- at the corneal level: a slight opacity, only registered 24 hours after the test item instillation in two animals.

Other effects:

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test substance is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405 guideline and in compliance with GLP, 3 New Zealand White female rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of test item in one eye while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h following treatment and graded according to the Draize method. Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.

 

The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight and totally reversible in the three animals. A slight redness, noted 1 hour after the test item instillation and totally reversible between D1 and D2, associated with a slight chemosis, noted only 1 hour after the test item instillation. At the corneal level, a slight opacity was registered 24 hours after the test item instillation in two animals.

Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0.3, 0.0, 0.3 for cornea score; 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for iris score; 0.3, 0.0, 0.3 for conjunctivae score and 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for chemosis score.

 

Under the test conditions, the test substance is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
