- Age at study initiation: 15 - 16 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2980 and 3210 g
- Housing: the test animals were housed individually in cages.
- Diet: conventional laboratory diet (a half-and-half blend of "Holstenstolz Kaninchenverbrauchsfutter 2, Type 038" [Wilhelm Stroeh jr. GmbH & Co. KG, Germany] and "Rabbit maintenance, MuesliMash", [ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, Germany], ad libitum
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application
Observation period (in vivo):
8 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 8 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The solid test substance had not been removed from the eye of the test animals by physiological mechanisms at the first observation time point after treatment, therefore the eyes were rinsed with physiological saline.
- Time after start of exposure: 1h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp / biomicroscope / fluorescein

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctival redness and chemosis (grade 1) were observed in 2/2 animals 1 h post-application of the test material, which were fully reversible within 24 h. No effects on cornea and iris were recorded. One animal was further observed for up to 8 days, which showed no effects in the treated eye.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects and no effects on body weight gain were observed during the study period.
