Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material did not show remarkable irritating potential to the eyes of animals under test conditions which are basically in accordance with todays standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system and reading time points. Therefore, it is concluded that the submission substance is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to a test of eye irritancy according to FDA guidelines (Fed. Reg. Vol. 38, No. 187, p. 27019, 1973). 100 mg of substance were applied to one eye of six animals each. The eyes were washed 24 h after application and eye responses were noted for 72 h after start of the exposure. Only slight effects could be observed (conjunctiva redness score of 1 or 2 one hour after application in all animals, the effect was fully reversible within 48 h; iris score = 0 at all readings; cornea score = 1 in 2 out of 6 animals one hour after application, but effect fully reversible with 7 hours; Chemosis score = 1 in 5/6 animals one hour after application, effect fully reversible within 7 hours). Overall the effects seen were minimal and it is concluded that the test material is not irritating to eyes.
