Irritant / corrosive response data:
Redness of the conjunctiva was observed in all six animals at the 1 h reading (scores 1) . This effect was still obervable at the 7 h reading, but was completely reversible 24 h after application (score 0). Chemosis was noted in three animals at the 1 h reading (individual scores are 1). This effect was reversible at the 7 h reading. No other effects on the eyes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was not irritating to eyes in all animals under test conditions which are basically in accordance with todays standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system and reading time points. Therefore, it is concluded that the submission substance is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to a test of eye irritancy according to FDA guidelines (Fed. Reg. Vol. 38, No. 187, p. 27019, 1973). 100 mg of substance were applied to one eye of six animals each. The eyes were washed 24 h after application and eye responses were noted for 72 h. Slight effects on the conjunctiva 1 and 7 hours after start of the exposure were no longer visible at later time points. No effects were observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after start of the exposure.
