Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: One eye of each animal remained untreated and served as the reference control.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: Approximately 30mg of Bontron S-34 (volume 0.1mL)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation on day 1.
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 females
Details on study design:
STUDY DESIGN
Eyes were examined prior to instillation.
Approximately 30mg of Bontron S-34 was applied in the lower everted lid. The eyelid was subsequently held together for one second.


OBSERVATIONS
Observations were aided by a handheld torch

The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1 hour after instillation and 1, 2,3, 4,and 7 days thereafter.


The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. The irritation was assessed according to the guideline.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Non irritating
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study with rabbits, it was shown that Bontron S-34 only elicited transient mild conjunctival irritation in the first hour after instillation. Effects were fully reversible within 1 day. In conclusion Bontron S-34 is not irritating to the eye and does not need to be classified according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

Bontron S-34 was evaluated for eye irritation on three female New Zealand White rabbits performed according to OECD test guideline 405 and GLP princples. Approximately 30mg was applied on the lower everted lid of the animal. Observations occurred one hour after application of the substance and subsequently on the 1st, 2nd 3rd 4th and 7th day. The eye showed mild conjuctival inflammation (score = 1) in all three animals 1 hour after application, only thereafter no clinical signs were reported. All effects observed were fully reversible within 1 day. Based on the results Bontron S-34 is concluded not to be an eye irritant and is not classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
