Irritant / corrosive response data:
Haemorrhagic conjunctivae were observed after the first hour post-application, which subsided after 24 h.
Individual scores after 24 - 72 h: Cornea 0 - 1, iris 0 - 1, conjunctivae 1 - 2 for erythema, edema and discharge but 2/6 with score 3 for secretion.
Effects were fully reversible within 7 d except for slight residual lesions of the cornea in 3/6 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on current standards, the irritation effects and development over time observed do not justify classification:
Criteria for classification: 24 - 72h mean cornea score >=2; iris score >=1; conjunctivae (erythema) >=2.5; conjunctivae (edema) >=2
