Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
An animal exhibited a positive reaction when the test substance produced one of more of the following signs: ulceration of the cornea (other than a fine stippling), opacity of the cornea (other than a slight dulling of the normal luster), inflammation of the iris (other than a slight deepening of the rugae or a light hyperemia of the circumcorneal blood vessels), or an obvious swelling in the conjunctivae (excluding the cornea and iris) with partial eversion of the eyelids and a diffuse crimson color with individual vessels not easily discernible. Grading of irritation was according to the method of Draize, 1965. The test was considered positive if four or more of the animals in the test group exhibited a positive reaction. If only one animal exhibited a positive reaction, the test would have been regarded as negative. If two or three animals exhibited a positive reaction, the study director in charge of the test may have designated the substance to be an irritant unless the sponsor, at additional cost, suggested repeating the test using a different group of animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not classified as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study, New Zealand white rabbits were treated with 0.1 ml of test substance into their right eyes. Observations were recorded at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h. Positive ocular scores were recorded at the 1 and 24 hour observation periods. No other positive scores were recorded. Based on the results of this study, the test substance is not classified in accordance with the classification system of GHS. This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for eye irritation study in rabbits.
