Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after application intense reddening and a very intense swelling of the conjectivae of the treated eyes had developed. 24 hours after application intense reddening and moderate swelling of the conjuctivae was still present. In one animal, there was still slight redness and swelling of the conjuctivae 5 days after application, while it was normal in the other animal. The conjuctivae of both animals were normal after 7 days. During the first and second days after application, a slight, dispersed, diffuse opacity of the cornea was observed. The iris was slightly reddened and swollen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The authors concluded that 1,2,4-triazole has a irritant effect on the mucous membrane.
Executive summary:

A non GLP comparable Guideline 405 (Acute Eyes Irritation / Corrosion) test was carried out with 1,2,4 -triazole.

Undiluted test article was instilled into the conjuctival sac of the left eye of 2 rabbits at a dose of 50 mg/animal.

One hour after application intense reddening and a very intense swelling of the conjectivae of the treated eyes had developed. 24 hours after application intense reddening and moderate swelling of the conjuctivae was still present. In one animal, there was still slight redness and swelling of the conjuctivae 5 days after application, while it was normal in the other animal. The conjuctivae of both animals were normal after 7 days. During the first and second days after application, a slight, dispersed, diffuse opacity of the cornea was observed. The iris was slightly reddened and swollen.

Under the experimental conditions, the test substance is irritant and is classified in category 2 according to regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP).
