Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The eye irritation potential of Miranol H2M CONC (amphoacetates C12) has been investigated according to OECD 405 and GLP. On the basis of the obtained results, the test material (solid content 50%) is classified as Irritating to eyes (Category 2) according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of Miranol H2M CONC (amphoacetates C12) has been investigated according to OECD 405 and GLP. The test material was tested as an aqueous solution at 50% solids for acute ocular irritation in 3 female New-Zealand White rabbits. The test material, was instillated as such in a single dose of 0.1 ml into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. The eyes were not rinsed. Ocular examinations were performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the instillation. Slight corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed at 1 hour after instillation in one animal, then between day 1 and 7 in all animals (grade 1 or 2). Iris inflammation (grade 1) was only noted at 1 hour. The mean scores (24-48-72 hours) calculated for each animal were 1.0 - 1.3 - 1.3 for corneal opacity, and 0.0 - 0.0 - 0.0 for iritis. Conjunctival redness and chemosis (grades 2 or 3) was observed in all three animals at 1 hour after instillation, and persisted until 72 hours (grade 1 or 2). These reactions were no longer present at day 7. The mean scores (24-48-72 hours) calculated for each animal were 1.3 - 1.7 - 2.0 for conjunctival redness, and 1.0 - 1.3 - 1.0 for chemosis. The test material (solid content 50%) is classified as irritating to eyes (Category 2) according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
