Any other information on results incl. tables

Study design

To test for primary eye irritation, the test material was instilled into the conjunctival say of rabbits. The first examination of the treated eye followed 1 hour after instillation. The examinations were performed daily for further 7 days.

Results

In the primary eye irritation test, no abnormalities of the cornea and iris were observed. The conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) in all animals at 24h. Later on no abnormalities were seen.


Conclusion

According to these results, for regulatory purposes the test material has to be classified as non-irritant for the eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to these results, for regulatory purposes there is no need for classification for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to OECD 405 under GLP conditions. According to these results, for regulatory purposes there is no need for classification for eye irritation.
