Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Before OECD Guideline 405 was established, eye irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. One drop of the test substance was applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye of 2 animals. The NaCl-treated adjacent eye served as a control.
GLP compliance:
no
