Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0,1 mL, neat substance
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1 hour after treatment, after 24, 48, and 72 hours, then daily up to day 8 of the experimental part.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 female rabbits
- Details on study design:
- -- Identification and adaptation
Healthy rabbits were allocated to the study group. The animals were kept in the experimental room for more than 7 days to allow for acclimatization. Each animal was uniquely identified by a tattoo in the ear displaying the animal number. Individual cage cards were affixed to each cage displaying the study number, test material, day of treatment, and animal number.
-- Assignment
3 female rabbits were used for this study.
-- Housing and diet
All rabbits were housed in an air-conditioned room of about 50 m^2. Lighting was controlled by a timer to provide a 12-hour light and a 12-hour dark regime.
They were kept separately in special rabbit cages (manufacturer: Becker; type K99/30 KU, floor area about 5400 cm^2, a shelter with an integrated sitting board of about 1820 cm^2; overall height: 60 cm) with plastic grids placed on mobile racks. The collection pans underneath the cages were cleaned at least three times a week. The cages were cleaned before the start of the study.
Temperature and relative humidity were measured using a thermohygrograph. The room temperature varied from 17 to 30 °C and the relative humidity from 29 to 71 %.
The rabbits received a commercial diet for rabbits, Provimi Kliba 3418.0 ad libitum and ssniff K snack, as well as fresh community tap water from Makrolon drinking bottles ad libitum.
The diet is checked periodically according to the specifications of the manufacturer by an independent laboratory, approved by the German government. Analysis includes both qualitative and quantitative evaluation for heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticides, and antibiotics.
The drinking water is periodically analyzed according to the German regulations for human drinking water.
–- Administration and dose level
To ensure that only rabbits with normal eyes were included in the study, approximately 24 hours before treatment ophthalmological examinations were performed after instillation of a 0.15 % fluorescein solution (Dr. Thilo & Co.) using an ophthalmoscope according to Eisenhut (Basel). Animals with eye defects, injury or irritation were excluded.
0.1 mL test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test material was placed. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. After instillation, the eyelids were closed for about 30 seconds.
-- Observation for clinical symptoms
The rabbits were examined for eye irritation and for changes in behavior and general condition 1 hour after treatment, after 24, 48, and 72 hours, then daily up to day 8 of the experimental part.
Eye changes were evaluated according to the DRAIZE- , OECD- and EEC recommendations.

Mean score of all animals = Mean grading for irritations of cornea, iris, and conjunctivae per time point
Mean score per animal = Mean grading for each animal of irritations of cornea, iris, and conjunctivae (1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after application)
Maximum value = Maximum grading of a sign of irritation within a period

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No signs of irritation could be observed at the cornea and iris. The conjunctivar showed redness (score 1) from the first reading (2 animals) up to experimental day 3 (1 animal), maximally. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. Furthermore, discharge (score 1) was seen one hour after treatment. These effects were regarded as transient signs of irritation, based on the mechanical properties of the test item (highly viscous liquid).The untreated eyes were unchanged.
- Other effects:
- No clinical signs or mortality were observed. Body weight development was inconspicious.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Slight redness of the conjunctivae and discharge were regarded as transient signs of irritation, based on the mechanical properties of the test item (highly viscous liquid). The test material should not be classified as eye irritant according to EU Directive 67/548/EC amended and repealed by EU Regulation No. 1272/2008 and CLP.
- Executive summary:
Purpose
The purpose of this primary eye irritation assay was to provide information on possible health hazards in case of acute eye contact with a test material and serve as a a rational basis for risk assessment to the eye irritating potential of the test item in man.
Study Design
To test for eye irritation a test according to the OECD-Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 405, the annex to Directive 92/69 EEC, and the recommendations of DRAIZE (1959) was performed.
Results
No signs of irritation were observed at the cornea or iris. One hour and 24 hours after treatment, the conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) in two animals. Furthermore, discharge (score I) was seen one hour after treatment. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eyes were unchanged.
Conclusion
The test material must not be classified as eye irritant according to EU Directive 67/548/EC amended and repealed by EU Regulation No. 1272/2008 and CLP.
