Irritant / corrosive response data:
In animal #2, the cornea was slightly obscured one hour after instillation. The other animals' cornea reacted after 24 hours. 72 hours after instillation, the rabbits # 1,3,4 and 6 did not show any corneal involvement anymore. In animals #2 and 5 the irritation lasted longer. The irises in animals # 5 and 6 reacted with swelling and congestion between 24 hours and 72 hours, but there was still reaction to light. The conjunctivae were extremely reddened, the lids showed swellings more than half closed, and a discharge could be seen which moistened the lids and hair considerably around the eye. these conjunctival changes started one hour after the instillation, increased to the 24-hours evaluation and then decreased to the day-21 evaluation.
The untreated eyes of the animals were not affected.
Other effects:
The area around the treated eye was involved in the eye irritation in the way that the eye lids hardened and the surrounding hair fell off. Due to this hardening the animals had difficulties in opening their treated eyes. The surrounding area also became more or less bloody and crusty which turned to be scrabby.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results of an in vivo eye irritation test, NBDI is classified for serious damage to eyes (cat. 1).
