Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test item did not reveal any remarkable irritation potential on the eyes of rabbits, tested 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 pasted in polyethylenglycol were applied to one eye of six animals each. The eyes were washed 24 h after application and eye responses were noted for 72 h after start of the exposure. Only slight effects could be observed, conjunctiva redness score of 1 in 5/6 animals at the 24 h reading and in 2/6 animals at the 48 h reading. This effect was fully reversible within 72 h. Only slight other effects (iridial effects, score = 1 in 3/6 animals at the 1 h reading; Cornea score = 1 in 1/6 animals at 1 h reading; Chemosis score = 1 in 6/6 animals at the 1 h reading and in 3/6 animals at the 7 h reading) were observed after 1 and 7 h, these effects were reversible within 24 h.
