Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test article showed a primary irritation score of 0.3, when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. In all three animals, minimal redness of the conjunctivae was observed at the 1 hour time point, but this effect was reversible within 24 hours. No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the measuring intervals. In the area of application, staining of the cornea and conjunctivae by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed.

Other effects:

No acute toxic symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period, and no mortality occurred. The observation was terminated 72 hours after administration of the test article. The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar. Due to the results obtained, no macroscopic organ examination was indicated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance caused only minimal conjunctival redness revesible within 24 hours and is therefore classified as not irritating to the rabbit eye.

Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant eye irritation study performed according to OECD guideline 405, three New Zealand White rabbits were treated with 0.1 g of the undiluted test article. The test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal; the lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation and animals were checked daily for signs of systemic toxicity. The ocular reactions were graded according to the scoring scale presented in the OECD guideline 405. Under the experimental conditions employed the test article induced minimal conjunctival redness at the 1 hour time point (score of 1). All signs of irritation disappeared within 24 hours. In the area of application staining of the cornea and conjunctivae by coloring of the test article was observed. No acute toxic symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period, and no mortality occurred. In conclusion, based on the results of this study, the test article is regarded as not irritating to the rabbit eye.
