Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item did not induce iridial effects under the conditions of this test. Effects on conjunctivae redness and chemosis were sligth to moderate and fully reversible within 72 hours after start of the exposure. One animal showed very slight corneal opacity at 48 and 72 hours after start of the exposure, but not at earlier timepoints. As no corneal effects were observed in the two other animals it can reasonable be assumed that the slight effects seen in this animal would also be reversible within some days. Therefore it is concluded that the test item has not to be classified as an eye irritant according to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The test material was subject to an Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion Test in the rabbit according to OECD TG 405. No iridial effects were noted during the study. Very slight corneal opacity was observed in one animal 48 and 72 hours after test substance application but not in the two other test animals at any timepoint. Conjunctival redness was observed in every animal one hour after application, and in two animals 24 hours after application, fully reversible by 48 h after application. Chemosis was observed in every animal only one hour after application but not at later time points.
