Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of the test material into one eye of each animal resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness and discharge in two animals. The irritation had completely resolved within 24 hours in one animal and within 48 hours in the other animal. The mean Draize score at 1 hour post instillation was 2.7; at 24 hours post instillation it was 0.7 and at 48 and 72 hours post instillation it was 0.
Other effects:
No staining of ocular or peri-ocular tissues by the test substance was observed and no test substance remnants were seen. No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was found not irritating to the eye of rabbits, as determined in a reliable study conducted according to current OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP.
