- Controls:
- other: one eye remained untreated and served as reference control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
Amount applied: 74 mg (= approx. 0.1 ml) - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single instillation
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 males
- Details on study design:
- STUDY DESIGN
The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit (sentinel). The two other animals were treated in a similar manner three weeks later, after considering the degree of eye irritation observed in the first animal.
TREATMENT
Animals were treated by instillation of, on average, 74.0 mg (range 73.9 - 74.2 mg) of the test substance (a volume of approximately 0.1 mL) in the conjunctival sac of one of the eyes after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
-Washing (if done): No
OBSERVATIONS
- Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
- Toxicity: At least once daily.
- Body Weight: Day of treatment (prior to instillation) and after the final observation.
- Necropsy: No necropsy was performed according to protocol.
- Irritation: The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded.The irritation was assessed according to OECD 405.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Effects on cornea, iris and conjunctivae were observed:
The corneal injury consisted of slight dulling of the normal lustre on Day 1 and no epithelial damage was noted. Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed and resolved within 24 hours in two animals and within 48 hours in one animal. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and completely resolved within 48 hours in one animal and within 7 days in the other two animals. - Other effects:
- No staining of ocular tissues by the test substance was oberved. Remnants of the test substance were present in the eye and on the outside of the eyelids in all three animals at 1 hour after exposure.
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the above results, the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
- Executive summary:
An eye irritation study was performed according to OECD TG 405 and under GLP conditions. An instillation of 74 mg of the test item in one eye of 3 rabbits. One eye remained untreated and served as a control. No irreversible effects were noted.
Based on the results above, the test material is not classified for eye irritation.
