In view of the shortened observation period and the slightness of effects a full recovery is expected in the case of a prolonged observation period of 21 days according to effective guidelines.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification acc. to (EC) 1272/2008: not irritating

This conclusion is legitimate since the test conditions are basically in accordance with todays standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system and reading time points.
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to a test of eye irritancy according to OECD Guideline 405. 100 mg of substance were applied to one eye of six animals.Mean values of the 24, 48 and 72 h readings after beginning of treatment were calculated for each animal. Only slight effects (conjunctival redness mean score: 1.0; chemosis mean score: 0.6; corneal opacity mean score: 0.2; iridial effects mean score: 0.1) below

the threshold for classification were determined. All effects were fully reversible or expectded to be fully reversible. Based on these findings the test material was judged not to be irritating to the eye.
