Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 50 µL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application
Observation period (in vivo):
8 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2
Details on study design:
50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye in 2 animals. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 hours on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. The report describes findings after 1 and 24 hours and at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

In this acute eye irritation/corrosion study (BASF, 1969), the eyes of 2 Vienna White rabbits were exposed by application of 50 µL undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 hours on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours. Overall, the treatment caused corrosion of the eye mucous membranes within 1 hour.Thus, the test substance was graded as corrosive under the conditions of this study. This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the requirements of OECD test guideline 405.
