Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Based on the findings in this test the test substance is not eye irritating.
Executive summary:

Acetessiganilid TTR was tested for eye irritating properties according to OECD 405. Following this protocol 100 mg of the test substance were placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 New Zealand White Rabbits. The right eye served as untreated control. 24 h after application the remaining substance was rinsed with physiol. saline. The animals were periodically examined for signs of eye irritation. Mean scores (mean of 24, 48, and 72 h) were calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis for each rabbit.

All mean scores calculated were below threshold values and indicate, that the substance is not irritating to eyes. All effects were fully reversible within 72 h.

Based on the findings in this test the test substance is not eye irritating.
