Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance was considered to be irritating but not corrosive to eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test substance in New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405.

A single ocular dose of 0.1 mL of test substance was applied into the lower everted lid of one eye of each animal. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing. Examination of the eyes was made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dose, then on Day 7. SCoring was conducted according to the method of Draize. The general health of the animals was monitored at each observation time. Bodyweights were recorded pretest.

Corneal opacity and conjunctival irritation, noted in 3/3 eyes, cleared by Day 7. Iritis, noted in 3/3 eyes, cleared by Day 3. One instance of diarrhea was the only abnormal physical sign noted during the observation period.

Under the test conditions, the test substance was considered to be irritating but not corrosive to eyes.
