Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after application every animal showed chemosis score 2, conjunctival redness score 2 and iris score 1, animal #1 showed cornea score 1. No other corneal effects were observed during the study. 24 h after application animal #1 showed iris score 1. Iridial redness was observed in 3/3 animals one hour after application and in animal #1 24 h after application. No other iridial effects were observed. Conjunctival redness persisted in 3/3 animals with score 1 72 h after application and chemosis of score 1 was observed in 2/3 animals 72 h after application. 7 days after application no effects were observed.
Other effects:
Colourless discharge was observed one hour (3/3 animals), 24 h (3/3 animals), 48 h (2/3 animals) and 72 h (2/3 animals) after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test item is not irritating to eyes under these test conditions. The test material contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are considered adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test item was subject to an Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Test in the rabbit according to OECD TG 405. Corneal opacity was observed only in 1/3 animals one hour after application, fully reversible within 24 hours. Iridial effects were noted in 3/3 animals up to 24 hours after application. Conjunctival redness and Chemosis were observed in 3/3 animals up to 72 hours after application, fully reversible by seven days. As the mean values of the observed eye responses fall below the critical values for classification according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the test material is not irritating to eyes and has not to be classified for eye irritation.
