Irritant / corrosive response data:
The cornea developed diffuse areas of opacity from the first reading up to day 3 of the experimental part. At the iris signs of irritation were observed from the first reading up to day 4. The conjunctivae showed redness and chemosis from the first reading up to experimental day 8. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eye was unchanged.
Other effects:
none

Any other information on results incl. tables

Study design

The test item was tested for its eye irritating potential with one rabbit in a GLP study according to OECD GL 405. Prior to testing, a hen's egg test on the chorioallantoic membrane was performed and no irritating potential could be detected. For the test of primary eye irritation, 100 mg of the test material was applied into the conjunctival sac. The first examination of the eyes followed 1 hour after instillation and the other examinations were performed daily for a further 14 days.

Results

There were no signs of pain immediately after instillation. The cornea developed diffuse areas of opacity (scores 1) from the first reading up to day 3 of the experimental part. At the iris signs of irritation were observed (score 1) from the first reading up to day 4. The conjunctivae showed redness (scores 1 and 2) and chemosis (score 1) from the first reading up to experimental day 8. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eye was unchanged.

Conclusion

Based on the observed results the test item should be regarded as an irritant to the eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item possess an irritating potential to eye.
Executive summary:

This GLP study was performed according to OECD GL 405. A eye irritating potential was noted and the test item should be regarded as an irritant to the eyes.
