Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test item is slightly irritant to the rabbit eye, but classification according to CLP Regulation is not required.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to assess the acute eye irritation potential of the test item in rabbits. The methods followed were as per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for testing of chemicals no. 405 (adopted 24th February, 1987) "Acute Eye Irritation"

Three healthy, adult male albino rabbits of New Zealand white strain, were selected for the study. An amount of 100 mg of the test item was instilled into an eye of each rabbit and the contralateral eye served as the control. Half a minute after instillation eye of all rabbits were washed with distilled water for half a minute using a volume and velocity of flow which did not cause injury. Observations were made following the method provided by the guidelines of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for testing of chemicals no. 405 (adopted 24th February 1987) "Acute Eye Irritation", at 1 hour (day 0), 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation. The ocular reactions consisted of redness and chemosis. Redness was observed in all animals 1 hour after treatment and in 2 out of 3 animals at 24 and 48 hours. Chemosis was only noticed in 2 out of 3 animals at 1 and 24 hours. At 72 hours after treatment, all treated eyes were normal. In addition, no clinical toxic signs other than ocular were observed. Under the conditions of this study the test item is slightly irritant to the rabbit eye, but classification according to CLP Regulation is not required.
