Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Three male and three female rabbits were tested in this study. The test substance placed in to the right eye, the other eye remained untreated to serve as a control. The ocular reaction was recorded at 1 h, 24 h and 2, 3 and 7 days after treatment.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material elicited no corneal or iridial response at any stage of the test.
Slight redness of the conjunctivae was noted in 2/6 treated eyes at 1 h. One treated eye showed slight redness at 7 days. 5/6 treated eyes had returned to normal at 24 h.
Other effects:
Test material was evident as aggregations in the inner corner of the eye at 1 h in all treated eyes and in 1/6 treated eyes at 24 h.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is a mild irritant to eyes. However under the Regulatin (EC) No 1272/2008 it is not classified for eye irritation
Executive summary:

Under the Regulatin (EC) No 1272/2008, the test substance tested as HMX in water, is not classified for skin irritation. As per the table below the mean score for corneal opacity or iritis wasn't ≥ 1 and/or conjunctival redness or oedema (chemosis) wasn't ≥ 2

calculated between the time points: 24, 48 and 72 hours.
