Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- not eye irritating
- Conclusions:
- Under these experimental conditions, the test substance CDBC is slightly irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test substance CDBC to induce ocular irritation was evaluated in rabbits according to OECD (405) and EC guidelines, and in compliance with the principles of GLP.
As possible irritant effects were anticipated, the test substance was administered to a single male rabbit in the first instance. Since the test substance was not severely irritant on this first animal, it was evaluated in twho other animals.
A single dose of 100 mg of the test substance, first ground to a fine powder, was introduced into the left conjunctival sac. The right eye was not rinsed after administration of the test substance. Ocular reactions were observed approximately 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration. The mean values of the scores for chemosis, redness of the conjunctivae, iris lesions and corneal opacity were calculated for each animal.
Very slight or slight conjunctival reactions (slight chemosis, slight redness of the conjunctivae and clear discharge) were observed in all animals from day 1: some of these reactions persisted up to day 3. A slight iritis was noted in one animal on days 1 and 2. A very slight corneal opacity was recorded in two animals, on day 2 only. Mean scores calculared for each animal aver 24, 48 and 72 hours were 1.0, 0.7 and 0.7 for chemosis, 1.0, 0.7 and 0.7 for redness of the conjunctiva, 0.3, 0.0 and 0.0 for iris lesions and 0.0, 0.3 and 0.3 for corneal opacity.
Under these experimental conditions, the test substance CDBC is slightly irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits.
