Irritant / corrosive response data:
Cornea score was 0 at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Iris score was 0.16 (24, 48 and 72 hours), conjunctiva score was 2 (24, 48 and 72 hours) and chemosis score was 0.83 (24, 48 and 72 hours). All effects were reversible within 7 days or earlier.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Cornea score was 0 at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Iris score was 0.16 (24, 48 and 72 hours) and chemosis score was 0.83 (24, 48 and 72 hours). The conjunctiva score was 2 (24, 48 and 72 hours). All effects were reversible within 7 days or earlier.
Based on the conjunctiva score of 2 (24, 48 and 72 hours) a classification as Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria is justified.
Executive summary:

A single dose of 50 mg was applied into the conjunctival sac of 2 rabbits. Post observation time was 7 days. Cornea score was 0 at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Iris score was 0.16 (24, 48 and 72 hours) and chemosis score was 0.83 (24, 48 and 72 hours). The conjunctiva score was 2 (24, 48 and 72 hours). All effects were reversible within 7 days or earlier.

Based on the conjunctiva score of 2 (24, 48 and 72 hours) a classification as Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria is justified.
