Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal effects were noted during the study.
Iridial inflammation was noted in one eye treated one hour after treatment.
Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in two treated eyes at the 24 h observation and persisted in one treated eye at the 48 h observation.
One treated eye appeared normal at the 24 h observation, one other treated eye appeared normal at the 48 h observation and the remaining eye appeared normal at the 72 h observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was assessed for eye irritation according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B5. Based on the results the test substance is not classified as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Introduction.

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 “Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002).

Method B5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Directive 2004/73/EC.

 

Results.

A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced iridial inflammation and minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation. One treated eye appeared normal at the 24-h observation, one other treated eye appeared normal at the 48 h observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 72 h observation.

 

Conclusion.

Based on the results the test substance is not classified as an eye irritant.
