Irritant / corrosive response data:
-All animals showed a slight corneal opacity after 1 to 6 hours after application, which disappeared 7 to 10 days after application.
-One animal had an iris reaction at 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.
-Conjunctival redness was observed in a mild to severe degree and reached its maximum between 24 and 72 hours after application.
-Edema in a mild degree subsided completely in one animal after 24 hours, in the other animals after 7 to 10 days.
-Strong exudation was observed in all animals.
-Conjunctival reactions disappeared completely after 7 to 10 days in all animals.
Corneal damage was observed in all animals 24 hours after application and was confirmed with the help of the fluorescein method. Complete reversibility 7 to 10 days after application was also confirmed with the fluorescein method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item containing 40% active ingredient was irritating for the rabbit eyes. .
Executive summary:

The test item containing 40% active ingredient was tested for primary eye irritation on rabbits by a single application of 0.1 g of the undiluted test item and permanent contact. The reactions on the cornea were slight and disappeared totally within 7 to 10 days. One animal had an irrital reaction between 24 and 72 hours after the application. Mean 24 -72h scores were 1/4 for cornea, 0.25/2 for iris, 2.33/3 for conjunctiva redness and 0.75/4 for chemosis. The conjunctival reactions were moderate to severe and disappeared completely within 7 to 10 days after the application in all animals.
