CLINICAL EYE OBSERVATION
-At 1 h p.a. all animals showed slight redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae
-At 24 hours p.a. slight conjunctival redness was still present in 5/6 animals and reversible in 1/6 animals. Chemosis persisted 24 hours p.a. only in 1/6 animals and was reversible in the other 5 animals.
-Cornea and iris were at all scorings without any effects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to OECD GHS (2nd rev. edition, UN, 2007) the test item in a 10% (v/v) aqueous solution is classified as non eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD Guideline 405, 0.1 mL of a formulation containing 39% act.ingr. in a 10 % (v/v) aqueous solution was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of six White New Zealand rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed after substance application. Animals then were observed for 72 hours. At 1 h p.a. all animals showed slight redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae. At 24 hours p.a. slight conjunctival redness was still persistent in 5/6 animals and reversible in 1/6 animals. Chemosis persisted 24 hours p.a. only in 1/6 animals and was reversible in the other 5 animals. From 48 - 72 h p.a. no test article-dependent findings were observed. Active ingredient according to producers information: minimum 39 %.; taking this value into account, active ingredient of the test solution was 3.9 % in minimum.
