Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was not irritating to eyes in all 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. The eyes were washed 24 h after application and eye responses were noted for 72 h after start of the exposure. No iridial effects were observed in any animal, and only 1/6 animals had a chemosis score of 1 in the 7 h reading which was completely reversible within 24 h. Slight to moderate corneal effects were visible in 5/6 animals. Apart from 1 animal these effects were completely reversible within the observation time. Conjunctivae redness was observed in 4/6 animals, the effect was also reversible within 72 h for all animals apart from one. It can be concluded that a longer observation period would have resulted in a complete reversibility.
