Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reversibility of any observed effect: Changes fully reversible within 7 days
Other effects:
A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced translucent iridial inflammation in two treated eyes at the one hour observation. These had resolved by the 24 hour observation.
Moderate to mild redness of the conjunctivae was apparent up to 72 hours in two rabbits which had resolved by 7 days. Moderate to mild chemosis of the conjunctivae was also
present but resolved in all rabbits by 7 days. No corneal alterations were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Mild, transient irritation may be possible but severity is not sufficient for classification under EC criteria.
Executive summary:

Potential of the substance BMS 217947-01 for causing eye damage or irritation was tested according to EU Test Method B5, Directive 92/69/EEC and OECD Guideline 405. The test substance was applied to 3 New Zealand White rabbits. Mild, transient irritation was observed. Iridial inflammation in two treated eyes was observed at the one hour observation, but it was resolved by the 24 hour observation. Moderate to mild redness and mild chemosis of the conjunctivae were observed, but the effects were fully reversible in all cases within 7 days. No corneal alterations were observed. As a result, the substance is not classified for causing eye irritiaion or eye damage.
