Irritant / corrosive response data:
Oedema with the lids about half closed, copious discharge, moderate redness of the conjunctivae and mild corneal cloudiness were recorded by one hour after instillation. The lids were nearly closed overnight and there was moderate iris conjunction (24 hours). Improvement followed irrigation so that within five days iris clarity was nearly normal in two animals. Also, discharge had ceased and oedema had reduced considerably.
Other effects:
Signs of discomfort or pain were pawing at the eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In an in vivo eye irritation study, conducted prior to the adoption of OECD test guidelines and GLP, finely ground powder of ATMP-H (CAS 6419-19-8; EC No., 229-146-5; anhydrous sample without details of substance identity) caused moderately severe eye irritation to rabbit eyes.
