Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test substance cannot be considered as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye following a single application in the New Zealand White rabbit. The non-GLP study was completed under 16 CFR 1500.42 following a guideline similar to OECD 405. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 animals. The other eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment. No corneal opacity or irritation was observed on any day and iridal irritation was observed in four animals. Conjunctival irritation was observed in all test animals on all 3 days. Under the conditions of this study the test material is considered to be an eye irritant. Based on the applicants recalculation of the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72h, 4 out of 6 organisms mean scores did not meet the EU classification criteria. Further there was complete absence of Corenal Opacity and very low order Corneal Iritis which is indicative of full reversibility of effects within 21-days. The substance has the potential to produce mild transient eye irritation but is insufficient for classification. Therefore the substance cannot be considered as an eye irritant under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
